William Prince
2026-03-20 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
The distance travelled on William Prince’s new album, Further From the Country, is generational, aspirational, and metaphysical. Expansive and declarative, Further From the Country is the work of an artist who meets the challenge of putting incisive and enduring words to this age of uncertainty. William Prince’s perspective – a songwriter who carries great legacies of family and songcraft forward – is singular and significant. Further From the Country, his fifth LP, is an extraordinary work of observation, reflection and ambition, a work that will leave its mark on listeners for its humanity and its potency.
The two-time JUNO Award-winning artist continues to build an exceptional body of acclaimed work, with recent accolades including the John Prine Songwriter Fellowship and Americana Honors & Awards nomination. From Newport Folk Festival to sold-out shows at prestigious theatres, including Massey Hall, from NPR’s Tiny Desk to tours with The War and Treaty, Yola and more, William Prince has made significant appearances on historic stages. Celebrated by peers, critics and fans, William Prince’s songs resonate on deep emotional levels.
Now, with Further From the Country, Prince expands his sound and sharpens his focus for a collection of songs that share personal and universal truths alike. A commanding and accomplished album, Further From the Country signals an artist who has impelled his craft to formidable new heights.

Overflow Brewing Company is proud to present Overture, a brand-new, powerhouse tribute to the music of Rush, making their inaugural performance on Saturday, March 21st, 2026.

Overture is not just a tribute band—it’s a supergroup of elite Canadian musicians whose combined experience spans international touring, major television appearances, award-winning recordings, and decades of professional performance.

Featuring:

Dave Langguth (Drums) – Berklee-trained drummer best known for touring with Kim Mitchell, Streetheart, and Nelly Furtado, with appearances on The Tonight Show, David Letterman, and major international drum festivals.

Eric Robbs (Guitar, Vocals) – A seasoned songwriter and multi-instrumentalist deeply inspired by Alex Lifeson, with extensive touring and recording credits across Canada and beyond.

Trevor Friday (Bass, Synths, Vocals) – A Metalworks-trained multi-instrumentalist whose playing is shaped by the melodic bass lines of Geddy Lee and the progressive depth of Rush’s iconic sound.

Together, these musicians recreate the complexity, power, and emotional impact that define Rush—faithfully performing the intricate arrangements, shifting time signatures, soaring melodies, and layered synth textures that fans know and love.

If you’re looking for some of the world’s most talented musicianship, look no further—Overture will absolutely blow your mind.

Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?
Is your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?
In social situations, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?
We can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for December 22: The Holidays! (please note there will be no Geek Trivia on December 29)
Book a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.
