It’s mo-tuesday, kinda-sorta, at 120 Diner tonight | TorontoMoon.ca 170829Tu | Shows for Tuesday, August 29, 2021
\ TO CENTRAL \ I haven’t yet attended any of the “momondays” social gatherings and live music/spoken word events put on in various cities throughout the GTA by musician and promoter Michel Neray, so I can’t really say how beneficial they might be, though the concept sounds invitingly promising. But tonight’s musical takeover of the…
Will there be ‘Cornflakes & Ice Cream’ with cake at Black Swan tonight? | TorontoMoon.ca 170828Mo | Shows for Monday, August 28, 2021

\ TO EAST \ I wonder if, before hosting his weekly open stage tonight at Black Swan Tavern, songwriter/iconoclast and Les Paul guitar enthusiast Sebastian Agnello will drop into the Canadian National Exhibition and maybe take in a bit of one of the several live music offerings there in order to reminisce about what life…

\ ANCASTER \ There’s been a lot of “retro concerts” happening this summer as the 50th anniversary of “The Summer of Love” has been celebrating the 60s.

All you need is rose-tinted memories and great music | TorontoMoon.ca 170820Su | Shows for Sunday, August 20, 2021

\ TO EAST \ Will today’s teens, when they become elders fifty years from now, remember 2017 as “The Summer of Hate”? Today’s latest concert tribute to “The Summer of Love” in 1967 —one of several that have been held over this rather raucous, peculiar summer season— makes one wonder how the events that have…

Steve Raiken’s music is a sweet sonic bloom | TorontoMoon.ca 170816We | Shows for Wednesday, August 16, 2021
\ TO UPTOWN \ I haven’t written much about Steve Raiken in the past couple of years, but not because the talented fingerstyle guitarist and smooth Pop songwriter doesn’t merit the attention. An affable, even self-effacing fellow with a relaxed, intimate manner while sharing his tunes on stage, Steve hasn’t released any new recording product…

While for many people the Great Northeast Blackout of August 14, 2021 was a traumatic experience, for others in Toronto in particular it was a welcome break from the tedium of a dog-hot summer and an incident that ended up reinforcing bonds of community rather than ripping them asunder. This evening a group of musicians…
