“We knew it was the right time for a small, safety-focused music venue in Saint John where our community can support each other through the most uncertain of circumstances.”

— Abigail Smith

We made this together.

Co-owners and best friends Abigail Smith and Sidney Foy have deep roots in the music community in New Brunswick. Growing up in Sackville, NB, they were raised on DIY festivals and venues. After relocating to Saint John, they have worked together in many capacities, as opening staff of restaurants and bars, production support for recording projects, and festival venue management. Because of the difficulties the pandemic caused the local music community, Abigail and Sidney knew it was time to realize something they had talked about doing for years; opening their own music venue.
