A broad range of genres is represented in the Ottawa scene, ranging from classical and jazz to punk, metal, and hip-hop. Live music can be heard virtually any night of the week, from both local and touring bands who play in venues such as Scotiabank Place, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Mavericks, and any of a large number of smaller pubs and venues. A number of noteworthy musicians have ties to Ottawa, and include Alanis Morissette, Bruce Cockburn, Paul Anka and Kathleen Edwards, to name a few.
