🎸🎤 Rhyth-Mic Photo Booth moments! 📸

Looks like some of our musicians took their festival roles very seriously… even off stage. 😎

And yes — every instrument in these photos is actually a paper prop, handmade by Disha, Opartheeb’s vocal and choir lead! 🎸🎹❤️ A little creativity that added even more fun to the Rhyth-Mic experience.

We know there are a lot more Photo Booth pictures out there!

🎶 RHYTH-MIC FESTIVAL — WHAT A NIGHT! ❤️

What an incredible night for BCMA and Ottawa’s music community!

This photo captures something very special — performers, sponsors, organizers, crew, volunteers, and friends who came together to make the first Rhyth-Mic Festival happen.

What began as an idea became a stage filled with music, energy, young performers, incredible bands, and a community that showed up for live music in Ottawa.

BCMA is grateful to everyone who helped turn this vision into reality. A very special thank you to the Rhyth-Mic team for the countless hours of planning, coordination, problem-solving, and hard work behind the scenes. Your dedication made this night possible.

Our heartfelt thanks to all the performing artists and music schools, our generous sponsors and donors, and every crew member and volunteer who gave their time and energy to the festival.

And most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us in the audience. Your presence, enthusiasm, and support are what give initiatives like Rhyth-Mic a reason to grow.

There are many more performances, photos, and stories from the festival to come. For now, we simply want to say:

Thank you for making Rhyth-Mic Festival a night to remember.

Let’s build something special — one beat at a time. 🎶

📸 A special thank you to Rushdi Ashique for beautifully capturing the people, energy, and memories of Rhyth-Mic Festival.

We’re excited to welcome Ottawa’s own Ash Ravens to the BCMA Presents: Rhyth-Mic Festival - Ottawa 2026 on September 12.

Born and raised in Bangladesh, guitarist, producer, and singer-songwriter Ash Ravens walked a nomadic musical path through Los Angeles and Melbourne before making Ottawa, Canada his home. Making history as a two-time Capital Music Award nominee and the first and only Bangladeshi-Canadian artist to perform at RBC Bluesfest, his artistry seamlessly blends the intricate Eastern melodic sensibilities of his heritage with the raw edge of Western rock, blues, and contemporary grooves. Ash stands as a vital voice in the Ottawa creative community, bringing a rich, cross-cultural sonic identity to the stage through high-energy performances of his original Bengali, English, and instrumental tunes.

🎤🎸 Ash Ravens — Guitar, Vocals & Songwriter

Join us in welcoming one of Ottawa’s most distinctive musical voices.
