School House & Braden Lam
2026-03-14 19:30 - 23:00 | Overflow Brewing Company, 2477 Kaladar Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
On Saturday, March 14th, Overflow Brewing Company presents a compelling night of original music featuring two of Canada’s fast-rising singer-songwriters: School House and Braden Lam. This bill brings together distinctive voices from the contemporary folk and indie scene, each with a growing national reputation for thoughtful songwriting and engaging live performance.

School House has quickly established itself as one of Canada’s most talked-about emerging folk acts. Formed in 2021 when three longtime friends moved into a century-old schoolhouse that became the heart of their creativity, the band’s sound blends three-part harmonies, heartfelt balladry, and uplifting folk-rooted storytelling. Their momentum over the past few years has been steady and respected — from opening for Canadian favourites The Strumbellas to earning Group of the Year at the 2024 Ottawa Music Awards, winning the Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in 2025, and earning critical attention for their rich, harmony-driven material. In early 2026 they released Homeland, their sophomore album, marking a new chapter of songwriting that feels both personal and resonant.

Joining them is Braden Lam, a Halifax-born singer-songwriter whose work blends indie folk and Americana with a contemporary sensibility. Lam’s debut album The Cloudmaker’s Cry has drawn praise for its organic sound and lyrical depth, reflecting on love, life’s quiet reckonings, and emotional nuance. With accolades including multiple award nominations and a track that reached the CBC Top 20, Lam brings both experience and vulnerability to the stage. Whether performing solo or with a full band, his shows are marked by direct connection with the audience and a finely tuned grasp of dynamics and mood.

Together, School House and Braden Lam promise a night of original songwriting that is both immediate and thoughtful — music that invites listeners in with sincerity, craft, and shared experience. For fans who value strong lyrics, warm harmonies, and live performances that feel personal and honest, this is an evening built around the kind of artistry that sticks with you long after the last chord fades.

Don’t miss School House & Braden Lam live at Overflow Brewing Company on March 14th, 2026 — a showcase of emerging talent and original music making waves across the Canadian scene.

Born out of Oakland’s underground hip-hop movement in the early ’90s, Hieroglyphics (Hiero) are revered pioneers of independent hip-hop—championing creative freedom, lyrical complexity, and community long before it became the norm. Anchored by core members Del the Funky Homosapien, Souls of Mischief (A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, Tajai), Casual, Pep Love, Domino, and DJ Toure, the collective helped define a generation of alternative hip-hop with releases like 3rd Eye Vision and Full Circle.

Known for intricate rhyme schemes, forward-thinking production, and their iconic three-eyed logo, Hieroglyphics seamlessly bridge classic boom-bap foundations with futuristic, genre-bending sounds. Their influence stretches across decades, inspiring artists worldwide while remaining fiercely independent and true to their roots.

The 360 Tour elevates that legacy into a fully immersive live format—placing the performance at the center of the room and surrounding the audience with beats, bars, and energy. The result is a communal, up-close experience where every verse hits harder and every crowd response feeds directly back into the show. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a shared cipher between artists and fans.

Expect a night packed with deep cuts, classic anthems, and razor-sharp lyricism delivered by some of the most respected voices in underground hip-hop history. Whether you grew up on Hiero records or discovered them through their lasting influence, this is a must-see event for true hip-hop heads.
