ROCK ON
Local band Taming Sari has released their latest single Loving Way. Bandmates Warren Meredith, Adam Ouellette, Alex Pellerin-Auprix, Danny Seguin-Brunette and Miguel Kingsberry-Brunette are known for their ability to combine 70s classic rock and old school blues into a decidedly modern package.
Their latest rollicking single continues to deliver their unmistakable signature sound. Their 2019 breakthrough LP, Thirsty from the Drought, prompted invites to play during the Ottawa Senator’s game intermission, as well as live events with Rebel 101.7 for their Real Rock Concert Series and Rebel Real Rock Search. The album’s fifth and fiery track Wake Up Boy hit the Top 100 in Canada for CBC Searchlight 2020.

FLAVOURS OF MEXICO
Ottawa couple Sandeep and Riti Gupta co-founded Cada Día sipping tequila, to embody the joy of living life to the fullest and embracing the good in each day (which is the translated meaning of its name). Their journey began with the understanding that purpose and balance in life is paramount.
Inspired by the vibrant colours and fiery and flavourful foods of Mexico, they found a way to embrace its culture through artfully crafted tequila. Cada Día tequila is authentically made in Mexico, but the company is based here in Ottawa. While the premium tequila can be found at some of Ottawa’s best restaurants, during COVID, they are offering no charge delivery for individual bottle orders in the Ottawa area and throughout Ontario.
