Cottage Brew
A five-piece cottage rock band from Niagara Falls, these local musicians travel across the province with their unique brand of Canadian music. From their Facebook page: “When buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio. If all the stations are rock and roll, there’s a good change the transmission is shot.” – L. Lujack
