Between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on the third Monday of the year, various local businesses throughout central Peterborough will have the opportunity to beat the Monday blues with various local talents.
“The third Monday in January is said to be ‘the most depressing day of the year,’ says Showplace in a press release. “The sub-zero temperatures, the lack of daylight, the arrival of our post-Christmas credit card bill. Don’t worry, Showplace is here to help!”

"Before We Arrive: The Story Of The Weber Brothers" Music Documentary
/
Peterborough's The Weber Brothers have been together for 15 years, performing many coast to coast tours. Like any band, they have gone through ups and downs.
A documentary six years in the works on the band, Before We Arrive: The Story Of The Weber Brothers, is now in post-production. It's directed and produced by Rob Viscardis, and the producer/directory of photography is Jeremy Blair Kelly.
The team behind the doc are launching a crowdfunding campaign to go towards their postproduction budget.
For The Weber Brothers, what matters most in their rollercoaster ride of being a band is not fame, fortune, or mainstream success. It's simply about making music. Something this upcoming documentary explores.
"Before We Arrive" is a culmination of events, performances and interviews that have been collected over the past decade and a half from The Weber Brothers’ career.
Watch the teaser trailer below for the doc, which is slated for release later this year...
