\ TO WEST \ Although I have never visited the Holy Oak Café and live music bar at 1231 Bloor St. W. near Lansdowne Ave., I feel as if I know the vibe there pretty well after a couple of years of visiting their website daily to see who’s performing in the room that night.…

\ TO NORTH \ The way live music clubs are opening, closing and re-opening on the Toronto scene of late, it feels a bit like watching the swinging doors of a wild west saloon. And the simile is somewhat appropriate, given the chaotic regulatory and business framework within which clubs are operating these days. Longtime…

\ TO EAST \ Toronto’s original February live music festival —the Winterfolk Blues & Roots Festival— was blessed with balmy temps and sunny skies for its 15h edition last weekend, despite being founded as a “weather-proof” mid-winter tonic that usually sees freezing air and snowy streets. Regular winter temps will more the ambiance this weekend,…

\ TO EAST \ There was a time when there was really only one Roots festival that artists of that genre talked about in TO. Back when I started this publication —25 years ago this coming April, as Open Season (which gave birth to to-nite before evolving into TorontoMoon.ca)— the Mariposa Festival had a very…

\ TO EAST \ With Valentines Day just past some clubs are still holding love-oriented events tonight, but nowhere will it feel like a love-in any more than is bound to be the atmosphere for the release of Roots songwriter Harpin’ Norm Lucien’s debut full-length album this evening as part of Winterfolk XV. That’s not…

to-nite coverage of Winterfolk I, 2003. Issue #288

\ TO EAST \ If you had asked me on this date in 2003, when I was a few weeks away from marking the eleventh anniversary of this publication’s genesis, what I would be doing exactly 14 years henceforth, I highly doubt I would have answered “writing about the 15th edition of the Winterfolk Festival…

\ TO EAST \ We’ve written several times about guest artists who appeared at the long-running “M-Factor Mondays” series at the Old Nick Pub and which came to an end last month after six years there. As we told you then, host Elana Harte and her band, who’ve been putting on the shows for a…

Derek Currie with his sister Sheila @ California 090519 -GARY 17

\ TO CENTRAL \ A gentle soul with a somewhat reserved, unassuming demeanour, Derek Currie never became a household name or top-billed attraction at high-profile live music shows, but some of those who have achieved that status can be counted among his fans. Derek, who passed away in September after a lengthy illness, was a…

Editor’s Note: As you go about your “love day” celebrations, you might want to consider the origins of the festivities, which reach all the way back into antiquity and which would fit right in with the action in some of the bars in TO today! To give you more insight, here’s a “guest” article about…

\ TO WEST \ Love is in the air (you can find it between the snowflakes) as Valentines Day nears and for those whose passion is Country and early Rockabilly, their hearts will surely swell when they learn that an icon of the genre, Albert Lee, will still be doing two Toronto shows originally scheduled…

\ TO CENTRAL \ We told you a little last month about the new album just released at the beginning of the year by songwriter and poet Max Layton and this week he’s celebrating it with free downloads and at his regular monthly “More Songs and Poems” show at Tranzac Lounge this afternoon. Layton co-hosts…
