Author: Todd Snelgrove

I've been having a lot of fun these past fifty-odd years. I've busked and bicycled through more places I can count, taught music and caught dengue fever, managed a band that toured all over North America and worked with Canada's National Orchestra for two decades. I've traveled countless miles to see a thousand concerts, played hundreds of gigs, won in Vegas and lost in Estonia, worked as a concert promoter, university instructor, janitor, and entertainment writer, seen the Grateful Dead and hiked the Dogon Valley, ran the stairs of the CN Tower and pedalled across Scandinavia once and Newfoundland twice. I've visited the graves of Alexander the Great and the great Robert Johnson, drunk excessively with some of the best and worst people you can imagine, and I've slept in some very, very weird places. Several years ago I started writing some of it down, and much of it is collected here for your perusal.

New Orleans: December, 2023

A relaxed family trip to one of the party capitals of the world.

January 4, 2025 Moe Koffman / Ticket Stories

010497 Moe Koffman, Ottawa, ON

I’m not sure what Generations X, Y, Z is (or was), but as long as they were serving up cool, interesting live shows at bargain-basement prices I had no need to ask questions…

January 3, 2025 Aerosmith / Skid Row / Ticket Stories

010390 Aerosmith/Skid Row, Ottawa, ON

This was my first big rock and roll arena show since moving to Ottawa…

January 1, 2025 Fear of Flying / Ticket Stories

010188 Fear of Flying, Moncton, NB

This torn bit of paper is emblematic of how rabidly I collected ticket stubs back in the early days. This is hardly a ticket stub; it looks more like a section torn from a handbill of upcoming nightclub events…

123113 Phish, New York, NY

On December 31st, 2013 I took on the final night of Phish’s nearly-annual New Year’s run at Madison Square Garden…

December 30, 2024 Coney Hatch / Ticket Stories

I did not attend this concert. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a story…

December 28, 2024 Blake Johnston / Christine Campbell / Matt Minglewood / Ticket Stories / Travis Furlong

122819 Matt Minglewood/Christine Campbell and Blake Johnston/Travis Furlong, Moncton, NB

Matt Minglewood was once again bringing his band to the casino and that was plenty fine enough entertainment for a guy like me…

December 27, 2024 AC/DC / Ticket Stories / Vintage Trouble

090315 ACDC/Vintage Trouble, Ottawa, ON

On September 3rd, 2015 I saw what I suspect will be my final AC/DC concert…
