My Favourite Tragedy also walked away from the LiVE 88.5 Big Money Shot Finals with $75,000. They’ve made big strides since I saw them in the competition last year. They were one of my picks at the start of the night to walk away with a financial boost to their musical journey, and the judges agreed.

Anyone familiar with the Ottawa music scene knows that lead singer North Easton has been at this for a long time. I’m sure his vast experience will help the band put their winnings to good use.
