Glitterer live in Ottawa

Experience Glitterer live on August 9th

Glitterer is scheduled to perform at The Rainbow Bistro in Ottawa, Canada on August 9, 2027. Glitterer, the project spearheaded by Colin Stetson, generally blends elements of jazz, noise, and experimental electronic music. Stetson is widely recognized for his work as a saxophonist, and Glitterer utilizes heavily processed saxophone alongside drum machines and synthesizers to create dense, atmospheric soundscapes. Previous releases demonstrate a focus on textural complexity and emotionally resonant compositions often described as cathartic and intense.

The Rainbow Bistro has been a fixture of Ottawa’s live music scene since 1982. Originally established as a folk music venue, it quickly broadened its scope to encompass blues, jazz, rockabilly, and various other genres. Located on Murray Street in the ByWard Market area, the venue is known for its intimate setting and commitment to showcasing both established and emerging artists. Over the decades it has hosted numerous nationally and internationally touring acts while maintaining a strong focus on local talent. The Rainbow Bistro's relatively small capacity contributes to a close connection between performers and audience members, fostering a reputation for energetic and memorable shows. It remains independently owned and operated.
