CITY: OTTAWA, ON

8PM, $8, 19+

It’s finally summer, the weather is beautiful and we’re rocking all summer long! Join us on select Thursdays at the Lazy Flamingo throughout the next few months for a night of City and The Sea music! We play old tunes, new tunes, covers and everything in between, and the shows are always FREE! This is a great chance to come check out a CATS show this summer!

The Lazy Flamingo is located at 19 Hess St. South in the heart of Hamilton’s famous Hess Village, a street filled with bars, live music, and tons of people. The Flamingo has a killer patio and great drink deals too, so between that and the free music what else do you need?

Here are the dates: June 6, 20 – July 4, 18 – August 1, 15, 29

In addition to the Lazy Flamingo shows we’re also getting back on the road! More info coming soon about upcoming gigs in Ottawa (June 28) and Brooklyn, NYC (July 25)!
