Thu, Sep 17 @ 7:00pm

Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray Street, ByWard Market, Ottawa

A regular night with The 20th Century Boys — and everybody’s invited!

If you’ve been to their Rainbow shows before, you already know the drill: horns up front, dance floor packed, and a non-stop run of Motown, soul, and rock and roll classics. Same band. Same room. Same crowd that always shows up.

A small group of classmates from the Class of ’76 will be in the house that night, wrapping up a few days in town — about 60 people in a room that holds far more. Plenty of space for the regulars.

By day, The 20th Century Boys work in politics, media, law and technology. By night they play the songs everybody still knows by heart — Beatles, Stones, Chicago, Springsteen, Van Morrison, and plenty more — with that brass section that always gets people out of their seats.

Doors 7:00

Music 8:15–9:30

Online: $25.00 + HST

Door: $30.00 + HST

Come for the band. Stay for the dance floor.
