Adams Rib (adams rib) will be playing the Ottoman Lounge tonight (April 27th) at 9PM. $5 cover at the door.
“Passionate, driving, and very personal”, is what Eye Magazine in Toronto has said about the band. “Two things caught my attention – the singer must have written the music and his unique sound will soon be catching a bigger audience.” posted the Cambridge Times.
This is an act definitely pushing forward in the true indie spirit for ten years now with no signs of slowing down. Enjoy the music that has been posted and be sure to visit the website to find out more about Adams Rib.

Here’s a bit of a different show; Playing November 20th, 2009 at The Ottoman is country rock group, Josh Cockerill with guests, The Warped 45s who are a bit more rock, but still have that country and folk sound to them. Both groups are Canadian and hail from Toronto, although I specifically listened to a song by The Warped 45s entitled “10 Day Poem For Saskatchewan” – in fact that is what their latest album is called. Which means they might have some roots over near here, more specifically, Josh Cokerill grew up in Alberta. The show will start at 9:30.
A bit about Josh Cockerill:
Toronto songwriter Joshua Cockerill found his country roots growing up in Alberta. After moving to Toronto, he took to writing and performing alternative country music, reflecting his western pride with an eastern big-city sensibility. After kicking around the local music scene for a few years, Joshua decided to break his piggy bank and independently finance his first recordings. “I’ve known I wanted to be a musician since I was ten years old,” says Cockerill, “You could say that everything I saved up over the years was preparing for the making of this album.”
