Jack and the Spare Hearts

TWB Patio Music Series
2026-06-26 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | TWB Brewing, 300 Mill Street, Unit #1, Kitchener, ON, N2M 5G8, Canada
JSH / Funk ‘n Circumstance returns to TWB for the first of two patio performances this summer! Ska? R&B? Funk? Jazz? Tijuana Brass covers? Videogame themes? We’ve got you covered! We’ll be playing mostly instrumental covers along with a few original numbers thrown in for good luck.
No tickets or reservations required. It’s PWYC to help cover band costs (we go through a lot of valve oil and guitar strings!)
I personally recommend the Wobbly Wheel and Hydrocut, because I’m an IPA guy all the way.
PWYC can be sent via eTransfer to jc@jackcooper.ca

Private Party - Kitchener
2026-06-20 19:00 - 22:00
Shh… it’s a private event. It could be a wedding. It could be an outdoor bris. Maybe a birthday or two.
I know, it’s downright pretentious to advertise an event that isn’t open to the public. But the thing is, we live in a shallow culture where venue owners or other bookers in the ‘biz’ like to see that you and/or your band are being active and busy little bees. So it comes down to this. I hope you appreciate this, City of Kitchener! I hope you appreciate this, Boathouse! I hope you appreciate this, all you venues with more bands covering 80s and 90s tunes than you can shake a stick at! We bleed for our art. No flies on us!
