Venue review

The musician's read

SOHO YEG is a downtown Edmonton live-music room and bar built to host bands across rock, indie, punk and singer-songwriter styles. The 21+ venue is music-first enough for original acts to present a real show rather than background entertainment. Bands with a clear identity and a concert-ready set should see it as a useful local routing room.
