Dan Livingstone at La Cocktailerie

Dan Livingstone live at La Cocktailerie, the cocktail bar at Square Old Chelsea in Old Chelsea, Québec, just 15 minutes from Ottawa–Gatineau. Settle into our intimate cocktail bar for a night of live music, craft cocktails, and timeless acoustic blues.

Acclaimed by audiences, critics, and peers for his authenticity and fingerstyle virtuosity, Canadian guitarist and singer Dan Livingstone blends ragtime, swing, traditional folk, and Piedmont blues into a warm, expressive sound. With a rich, powerful voice and a subtly dazzling guitar touch, he channels old-school roots while reinventing them for today, an ideal match for a close‑up concert in a cocktail bar setting.

A veteran of major stages across North America and Europe, Livingstone has performed at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Tremblant International Blues Festival, Le Festif! de Baie‑Saint‑Paul, the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, and Cahors Blues Festival. His work has been highlighted on the cover of Blues & Co., nominated at Québec’s Lys Blues, featured in Blues Blast Magazine’s Blind Lemon Top 20 Canadian Blues Albums, and ranked in Blues Underground Network’s year-end lists. Recently a CBC Pick of the Week and heard on ICI Espace Musique, Stingray Blues, DAWG.fm, and CKRL.fm, he continues to captivate with performances inspired by his solo work and his high‑energy project, The Griffintown Jug Addicts. His latest release, Ace up My Sleeve, showcases the exuberant spirit that defines his live shows.
