Issue No. 02 of The Bridge City Edit dropped this morning at 8am, and this one belongs to Theo Maczek 🎸✨ A Cajun finger-picking guitarist with a foot tambourine keeping time, the kind of musician who can turn a room quiet in seconds. I first met Theo after he invited me out to one of Saskatoon’s Thursday open mic nights, and let’s just say… the talent in this city deserves a spotlight. This issue dives into Theo’s story and the local live music circuit happening right downtown. Three open mic nights, all within a block of each other, every Thursday. A little musical triangle where you can wander from stage to stage discovering artists who should absolutely be heard. Theo is the kind of artist who reminds you why live music matters. 🎶 Watch the reel 📰 Read the full feature in Issue No. 02 📍And if you’re in Saskatoon on a Thursday night, go catch the circuit. @openmicgreenroom @producedbylighthouse @acousticopenmicnight Links in bio.

*Me trying to launch a newsletter in 3 days as a sole proprietor with no funding & 500+ engaged YXE creatives* My Brain: absolutely shredding the 1’s and 2’s 🎪🤹🎡🤷‍♀️🤣 SEEKING PARTNERSHIPS / SPONSORS: local businesses, this means you. If you are a LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESS who wants to reach 500 ENGAGED Saskatoon creatives, (and growing… FAST.) I am seeking funding for physical expansion. The city has been waiting for a dedicated creative voice. Independent artists, makers, & small business owners (a.k.a. The people who give this city its character) have been OPERATING WITHOUT A CENTRAL PLATFORM, scattered across algorithms and buried under generic corporate and AI generated trash. I identified that GAP. I built the SOLUTION. The bridge city edit is currently the only platform dedicated entirely to YXE’s creative ecosystem. 500+ engaged subscribers within a matter of weeks is living proof of that. This is not speculative. The demand is real & the audience is HERE. I need your help so I can scale accordingly to serve them. When the creative community thrives, the economy thrives. The entire city wins. Property values rise. Tourism increases. Young people stay. Saskatoon becomes a DESTINATION, not a pass-through. DM me for partnership inquiries. I am the voice this city has been waiting for. #yxebusiness #yxelocal #partnershipopportunity #yxelocalbusiness #yxe
