\ 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…

\ 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…

\ TO CENTRAL \ On the final Sunday of every month from May through October certain streets in TO’s Kensington Market area are closed to automobile traffic and become a pedestrian free-for-all zone as “Pedestrian Sundays” take place from around noon till early evening. Anyone who’s experienced the delight of being able to roam the…

\ 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. But this afternoon and this evening it’ll be more like the 80s in Ancaster as URG Music Fest features some of Canada’s top Rock bands from that era. The…

\ TO EAST \ Four months into its existence, the Thursday open mic at Legends Lounge in east TO is coming along pretty well and now includes weekly feature performances. With singer Amber Durette having joined founder Gary Edward Allen as co-host a couple of months ago, the musical variety has increased impressively, with a…

\ TO EAST \ Although I haven’t seen Roots duo Maggie & Mr. Rogers in performance yet (I hope to tonight) based on the videos on their Facebook page, this evening’s appearance by the pair at Dora Keogh Irish pub promises to be a charming delight. Whether you watch them online as a duo, or…

\ 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…

\ TO CENTRAL \ As we told you a few weeks ago, the former owner of Upstairs @ Aquila, Jose Corniellis, is back in robust good health and has opened a new restaurant, Basso Pizzeria, downtown at 320 Queen St. East near Parliament that features superb live Blues acts every Friday night. Long-time readers will…

\ 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…

August 14, 2021

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…

\ TO EAST \ The Julian Taylor Band isn’t performing for the finale of the Taste of The Danforth festival this year, as it has a couple of times previously, but will be doing another east-end outdoor concert earlier in the day instead. The group is soaring these days as tracks from Taylor’s latest Desert…
