On July 4th, Landmark Events will be hosting another preliminary round for talented Montreal artists and bands. The event is taking place at Phi Center, which is located in the heart of Old Montreal - 5 min walk from the metro station Square Victoria.

We will be welcoming back TAYLOR & BRYN as our featured artist. The TAYLOR & BRYN sound is a distinctive blend of innovation and musicianship that evokes jazz standards, 70's pop, folk, rock, soul, hip hop, show tunes and beyond — a bright, bold sound that’s equal parts distinct, refreshing, and accessible. Taylor & Bryn's live shows are high-energy infusions of melody, wit, soaring harmonies, sophisticated guitar parts, and beat-boxing harmonica. 

If you’re a fan, you’ll know why, out of hundreds of acts and three elimination rounds, the duo took 1st place in our Toronto 2014 Landmark Events Showcase Festival.

The duo will release their first EP in 2015, produced by veteran producer-mixer Glen Robinson (The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, etc).
