Our Story
Not Ottawa is comprised of six musicians from the small town of Nottawa located just south of Collingwood on beautiful Georgian Bay. We're all experienced in life, and we have life long experience in music. We got together by chance in 2012 and had our first performance at the Collingwood Battle of the Bands where we placed second. After that, the gig offers came rolling in and we have been busy playing at area clubs, events and fundraisers ever since.
