Free admission! Firehall Open Mic & Jam Night is an opportunity for local musicians to perform their art in a public, social setting in the Firehall Brewery brewpub! Open Mic & Jam Nights are an important part of every music scene, to allow new musicians to flourish, and seasoned musicians to hone their trade. Please keep in mind, the “pub” environment may not always provide an attentive audience, but capturing the crowd is all part of the challenge 😉

We recommend performers RSVP so we know you’re coming! Table reservations are no longer available.

FOR MUSICIANS – PLEASE READ

Please arrive around 6:30 and identify yourself to our host, Mike Dallamore, and let him know if you would like accompaniment (Open Mic style vs Jam style). He will find you a slot for you to play up to three songs.

We will have three microphones, and a PA mixer with more than enough inputs for instruments. Small electric amps are permitted, but they must be coordinated with the sound tech. Small percussion instruments are permitted. Bagpipes are stricly prohibited unless you are wearing a kilt… just kidding (though kilts are awesome).

We have no restrictions on genre, though we insist that all performers respect that our space is family-friendly, and we have a strict intolerance for prejudice or abusive material.

FOR PATRONS – PLEASE READ

Please respect the musicians. They have worked hard to get up on the stage 🙂

Mudrats are your local scene, 6-piece, teenage rock band from Oliver, BC. The band consists of Ezra Toon on bass and lead vocals, Tommy Racz and Silas McCallister on guitars and vocals, Edwin Lee on lead and rhythm guitar, Sam Lee on keys, and Rocky Toon on drums. From a random put-together for a Toonmade School of Rock performance, the band quickly decided to form Mudrats in winter of 2023 – and have gained a hefty fan base from their successful gigs—Roots & Fruits 2024, October & November 2024 shows at the Firehall Brewery, and Sunshine Festival 2025 just to name a few.

The crowds that show up and sellout their shows are no surprise, for the Mudrats play a plethora of classic covers by bands such as The Beatles, Dire Straits, and the Tragically Hip. The band has started to write originals to share on top of the classic covers, with influences from Pixies, Oasis, and Coldplay. The talent and skill of these youth are not to be missed; Mudrats bring the energy, feel, and passion you haven’t heard in ages.

PIQSIQ
2026-03-11 19:30 - 21:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
With a style perpetually galvanized by darkness and haunting northern beauty, sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay come together to create Inuit style throat singing duo, PIQSIQ. Performing ancient traditional songs and eerie new compositions, they leave their listeners enthralled with their ability to weave complex emotional landscapes that transcend language.

In Inuktitut, a “piqsiq” is a storm where winds blow in a very specific way, making it seem as if the snow is falling back up towards the sky. This otherworldly, natural phenomenon has become a source of inspiration for the duo, reminding them that things are not always as they seem.

With roots in Nunavut’s Kitikmeot and Kivalliq Regions, the sisters grew up in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, where endless sunlight shines for two short summer months and deep, wintery darkness consumes the rest of the year. These environmental extremes impacted the way Tiffany and Inuksuk’s aesthetic developed and the pair have always engrossed themselves in creating soundtracks to life that reflect this natural phenomenon. The sisters loved to practice katajjaq, Inuit style throat singing, during long trips out on the land, and the practice has continued to bond them together throughout their lives.

s the sisters approached adulthood, they continued to learn about Inuit history and the abhorrent laws instituted by the Canadian Government under Colonization. They were devastated to discover how katajjaq was regarded as an evil practice by the church, along with many other cultural Indigenous practices. By the 1960s, through shaming, banning and punishment by law in the forms of fines and imprisonment, katajjaq had all but gone extinct. This realization led them to study katajjaq not only as music, but as a radical, political act of decolonization.

The sisters have performed many traditional style sets over the last two decades, and in more recent years have taken the dive into blending their style with new technology. Their live performances, in alignment with katajjaq’s original form, take inspiration from the world around them combined with their own thoughts and feelings and an invitation to the audience to help steer the journey songs will take. Creating performances this way allows the audience to experience spontaneous compositions that are unique to each individual show.

​As PIQSIQ, they perform improvisational looping live and incorporate the winter darkness and ethereal feel into their recordings. The pair have released four studio albums to date; Altering The Timeline, Quviasugvik: In Search of Harmony, Taaqtuq Ubluriaq: Dark Star, and PIQSIQ: Live from Christ Church Cathedral.
