Moira & Claire and Postfun's Halifax

Moira & Claire·Musician & Band19 picksMay 2026
Halifax folk/pop sister duo Moira & Claire have been releasing music for almost a decade — and singing together for even longer. They've grown into one of Atlantic Canada's most impressive acts, producing genuinely world-class pop folk that is starting to garner attention well beyond the region. Joining them are Postfun, Halifax rockers and kindred spirits, here to celebrate a brand new collaboration. We asked them both to share what they love about our city — and it turns out they agree on quite a lot.
“Agricola street! It has some of our favourite bars, thrift stores, cafés, and cool shops. We like it so much it's the opening line of our new song.”
Chainyard
Chainyard! Their Wednesday Bingo nights are such a fun time. And it's free! You just have to start a tab. We still haven't won a bingo yet, but we are determined to.
idialedyournumber
We loveeeee idialedurnumber. They are absolutely killing it in the Halifax scene and beyond. Their live set pulls you in, and leaves you wanting more. Such a great group of people making and playing sick music.
Local Artist Spotify
No better spot to spend all your savings on fancy coffee, and lock in upstairs with some headphones in. Staff are the freaking best, and having the Garrison drinks on tap, it makes for a great band meeting zone, morning or night.
Agricola Street Brasserie
Moira & Claire: Agricola street! It has some of our favourite bars, thrift stores, cafés, and cool shops. We like it so much it's the opening line of our new song, something (anything).

Postfun: Agricola Street for sure! Great street to walk the dog on. Lots of great bars, food spots, cafe's and a hub for creative folks. We recorded our last record on Agricola street with Braden Kamermans, and we try and bring the house down at Gus' Pub as often as we can. The street has meant a lot to us for quite some time. Echoing Moira & Claire, we love it so much we wrote a song about it!

Gus' Pub
Our fav venue has gotta be Gus' Pub. It feels like home. The staff are all close pals of ours and every show we have there is always a welcoming and inclusive environment.
