Listen to live music each Friday at Noon at Central Library.
This week, Checkerboard Floors takes the stage in Central Library's Hamilton Room. Aside from their energy-packed live shows that have crowds singing and dancing along, nothing more clearly demonstrates the Hamilton trio's drive than the songs they have been releasing independently, including their latest, EP, Let It Ride. On this EP, they wear their influences on their sleeve, as they power through modern indie rock, to classic 70s / honky tonk vibes, to late 60s surf/soul, to vintage British Invasion pop-rock.
Band members of the Checkerboard Floors include Derek Palango (vocals, guitar), Matt Outerson (bass, vocals) and Kevin Barrie (drums, vocals).

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
