R&B Night with Ayesha and Abu 🎤💙

Join us for a stripped back night of RnB with two local artist Ayesha and Abu.

Ayesha combines her background in jazz with her 90s/2000s upbringing to produce powerful ballads and sultry RnB songs with a fresh perspective. Inspired by Jhene Aiko and Kehlani, Ayesha writes with impactful minimalist production that provides the springboard for the listener to connect with the story behind the lyrics.

Abu is a Guelph-based vocalist, pianist, and songwriter blending elements of R&B, soul, gospel, and jazz into intimate, emotionally driven performances. After years immersed in Toronto’s live music scene — performing at jam sessions, live shows, and recording with musicians across the city — he developed a musical style rooted in storytelling, improvisation, and soulful connection.

His single “When I’m With You” is available on all streaming platforms, with more music and live performances to come.

This event will make for the perfect date night or intimate evening with friends. Doors for 7:30, music by 8pm. Link in bio to grab your tickets!

Emily Steinwall is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Toronto, who is on tour in celebration of the first single from her highly anticipated sophomore album entitled “but, there’s beauty in the fall from Grace”. The album follows up her 2021 release , “Welcome to the Garden”, which won the SOCAN songwriters prize that year. In the wake of the latter’s verdant exploration of wide-eyed love and cosmic belonging, its sequel fully embraces darkness and strives to find the beauty within it. Join Emily and her band for an evening of music that ranges from grungey art-rock to sophisticated, heartfelt ballads.

Opening for Emily is talented local artist and singer songwriter Rachel Hickey.

This show is happening on June 5th, doors at 7:30pm. Tickets are limited to buy them now!! Link in bio to purchase 🎶

🎵Songs & Sips Ep. 3🎵

Liam is all about Canadian artists and a crispy flat white. Niche music goes well with caffeine!

Here’s how to make a flat white…
1. Begin with a double shot espresso into the bottom of an 8oz cup.
2. Steam your milk of choice (MNR still loves you if you use a milk alternative even if Liam doesn’t, we promise!!)
3. When steaming the milk, avoid adding excess air into the steaming jug. This is the key to a proper flat white!
4. Pour milk over the espresso doing your best to add a design.
5. Enjoy! ☕️
