Ptarmageddon

Acclaimed Labrador alt rockers Ptarmageddon are hitting the stage at The Rotary Arts Centre Thursday July 16 at 8 pm! Scott Neary (guitar/vocals) and Jenn Edwards (keys/vocals) are joined by local musicians Scott Sheppard (bass) and Paul Harris (drums).

A Ptarmageddon show is like listening to that burnt CD that lived in your first car. What ties their genre-bending sound together are rich vocal harmonies and tight arrangements, leaving enough space for some guitar pyrotechnics by frontman Scott Neary. Their collaborative, playful songwriting approach has generated a truly eclectic catalogue of songs, ranging from sincere to tongue-in-cheek.

The Labrador-based band has earned four Music NL Award nominations to date, including Alternative Group of the Year. The original trio came together in 2021 as a pandemic project, live-streaming acoustic covers from their living rooms. Since releasing their debut EP, Holding Pattern, and following it up with the concept album, Dream Logic (2022), they’ve become one of the most sought-after groups in the region.
