Artist History The Crowd started in 1996 as a "get together to have some fun" band and have since been performing a regular weekly gig at The Whipping Post, in downtown Ottawa. They have become a real tight unit over the years and have created a polished show that is guarunteed to move butts and bring smiles to the faces of the audience.
