Reuben and the Dark

Canadian indie-folk mainstays Reuben and the Dark are bringing their deeply atmospheric sound to West Queen West this autumn. Catch them live at Longboat Hall—tucked away in the basement of The Great Hall at 1087 Queen Street West—on Tuesday, October 21, 2026.

Led by singer-songwriter Reuben Bullock, the project is celebrated for its rich blend of traditional folk instrumentation, soaring choral harmonies, and soaring, spiritual lyricism. Whether they are driving a rhythm-heavy stomp or stripping things down to a haunting vocal and acoustic guitar, their live shows are known for creating an intense, communal sense of intimacy.

The Experience Longboat Hall's rustic, wood-beamed basement setting is the absolute ideal room for Reuben and the Dark's organic soundscapes. This is an all-ages event with doors opening at 7:00 PM and the show starting at 8:00 PM.

Around the Neighbourhood Located in the heart of West Queen West, you'll find endless options for pre-show dinner or post-show drinks. Hit up one of the local spots along Queen West or grab a quick bite near Ossington before heading into the venue. It's a stellar mid-week escape into thoughtful, beautifully crafted Canadian indie music.
