Carl! Music FestivalApril 27-29
130 King St. N.Waterloo Ontario Carl! is a 3 day, open minded, independent music festival at an alternative venue space. Carl! will be celebrating vital independent Canadian music and vibrant local arts at our very own Trepid House in Waterloo. Carl! is above all else, a 3 day mini-fest of house shows at 130 King St. N. in Waterloo. It's a chance for people to get to see a wide array of bands that they really should be exposed to, and to get to meet these people, and have a great time. One of the core concepts behind house shows and alternative venue spaces is the elimination of the barrier between performer and audience. To make personal connections between people and music. So it was very important that we avoid the impersonal tendency of naming festivals or events after locations, objects, or sayings. A festival founded on real connections needed to be named accordingly. Carl! isn't just a bunch of shows, it's a friend. Pronunciation Guide Performer Listing Schedule Some of the performers include:
