Lennie Gallant
A suppertime show with the stalwart of east coast singer-songwriters at 6:30pm via Facebook Livestream.Dave Gunning

Heist Takeover VIII
The live art company behind Fringe Festival hit plays like The Princess Show (and its follow up, Princess Rules) brings a mix of live performance and lip sync to help you connect to queer community while social distancing. Dressing up is encouraged for the event, held at 7:30pm via sidedoor.com. Not familiar with Heist? Read why we love it here.Adam Baldwin
At this point Baldwin feels like an anchor of time and place on our otherwise floating calendars, reminding us to tap our toes every Friday as he delivers a sterling set of covers and Americana-tinged originals via a live Youtube show. This week, he's playing a day earlier but it's as gold as ever: Catch it at 8pm and keep an ear out for his newest song, "The Lighthouse In Little Lorraine," which, TBQH, is the closest any Maritimer will ever get to writing a tune like "Atlantic City."Saturday, April 25
Coco Love Alcorn
The jazz-pop singer-songwriter gives us what we all need right now with a show titled "Songs of Hope and Healing." Catch it at 3pm on sidedoor.com.Dan Mangan
The OG house show king keeps flexing with his weekly showcase through sidedoor.com. Tune in for heartfelt singer-songwriter gems at 4pm.Braden Lam

Tomato/Tomato
You say folk, I say country; we both say this husband-wife duo deliver the aural equivalent of a soft wool sweater when they hit the virtual stage at 7:30pm via Facebook Livestream. Dave Sampson
Roaring out of Cape Breton with an addictive, country-tinged, salt-air sound, Sampson will make you feel like you're sitting in the driver's seat, not your favourite armchair. Get in on the vibes via Facebook Livestream at 9pm.Sunday, April 26
Rich Aucoin
He makes indie pop so slick it's space-age, but you'll get a hangnail digging into its ragged edges: That mix is why Aucoin's always being compared to Daft Punk and Arcade Fire—it's also why you'll wanna tune into his Facebook Livestream at 10pm to throw a living room dance party for one like no other.———
