Seven must-see concerts in Halifax this weekend
All the live music worth hearing from July 31 to August 2. After 18 months of longing, live music has come back to save our souls and it’s wasting no time, with every fleeting summer evening stuffed to the rafters with cool concerts to check out. After the COVID-induced music show drought, we don’t dare complain. Instead, we’re rushing from stage to stage, pretending it’s a music festival as we catch up with a host of our favourite Halifax acts. Here are seven shows to seek out:
Keonté Beals OK, Halifax: You have not one but two shots to see one of the city’s best R&B acts on this swell summer weekend, so don’t you dare blow it. Witness Beals croon from his incredible 2020 album KING Friday July 30 from 4-6pm at the Halifax Convention Centre’s free, outdoor stage and then head to The Buskers’ 2021 event, Music & Magic, where the strongmen and fire eaters have been replaced by midway rides and live music.
ALPINE
Jeff Marcus was 7 when his father gave him his first set of magic tricks, a gift that turned into a life passion.
Growing up in suburban Chicago, he started putting on magic shows for family and friends at 10 years old. He spent hours fooling his younger brother, Mark, and their friends with card tricks, hocus-pocus charm and sleight-of-hand maneuvers.
That love of magic eventually led him to a 40-year career entertaining thousands in Southern California. Marcus, who mastered the art of stealing watches as a magic trick, was also a practicing hypnotist and professional clown who performed at events like the Mother Goose Parade. He was a regular entertainer at private corporate events, at local schools and at the San Diego Zoo, Sea World and at the San Diego Fair/Del Mar Fair.
