\ TO CENTRAL \ Although he’s only one of two feature acts on the bill as part of tonight’s weekly Monday open stage at Grossman’s Tavern, to his fellow songwriters and fans Brian Jantzi will definitely be a highlight of the night. Having finally released an album of his originals this summer, Jantzi has been…

There are Hallowe’en parties that include live bands happening all across the GTA and in 905, 519 and 705 to boot and we’ve got about 50 of them listed. (The orange H prior to event times indicates it’s a Hallowe’en bash.) The styles of music on offer vary widely, from Roots and Blues through Rock,…
\ TO CENTRAL \ Not everyone gets excited at the prospect of dressing up in costume and being in a room full of strangers in disguise, nor celebrating faux gore and chills. If you’re one of those who won’t be attending one of the plethora of Hallowe’en parties happening tonight but are still looking for…
\ TO CENTRAL \ Even in “reduced” mode as a seven-piece with “only” two singers and one horn, R&B/Motown/Funk ensemble BackTrack was mightily impressive the night I finally got to hear them live this summer at the Bier Markt’s location in Don Mills. It was their debut performance for the chain, which has four locations,…
\ TO EAST \ One of the acts that was part of Elana Hart’s immensely successful first annual Birdseye Music Festival that took place at Eton House October 21-22 (and raised over $5,000 for the bladder cancer unit at Mount Sinai Hospital) singer-songwriter Sandra Bouza has been in on-and-off career mode the past couple of…
\ HAMILTON \ A bi-weekly Folk open stage that’s been happening in Hamilton since 1982 may come to an end tonight if a replacement isn’t found for the host, Al Lindsay, who says this will be his final week at the helm. The event, operated by the Hamilton Folk Club at The Pheasant Plucker bar…

\ TO EAST \ Having a brush with your own mortality is enough to give anyone pause to reflect on what’s important in life, and fem-Rock songwriter, bandleader and indefatigable indie acts promoter Elana Harte is no exception. For nearly a year the feisty but genial guitarist and singer faced uncertainty in the face of…
\ TO CENTRAL \ As powerfully true as is the premise of the title track (“Rescued You”) of the new Rory Cummings album being released tonight, had I been asked I would have chosen for the disc’s title another of the 18-songs cornucopia from this collection. But no, as some longtime readers may suppose, it…

\ TO CENTRAL \ A staple of Folk festivals, the songwriters-in-the-round musical presentation concept has also been gaining in popularity for club night shows the past couple of years. We’re written previously about several of these events, typically hosted by a talented performer and inviting songwriters, arranged in a semi-circle or line on stage, to…
\ TO EAST \ Blame it all on Bluegrass! For it was Bluegrass bands, particularly The Dixie Flyers, that first got me going to bars regularly to listen to live music when I was barely more than a pup in my mid-twenties living in London, Ontario. The Flyers and various other offshoots and combos of…
\ ETOBICOKE \ Now fully back in action after another enforced hiatus following successful hip surgery this summer, David Love can be counted on to be doing that “Hippie Hippie Shake” this afternoon when his eponymous David Love Band returns to Timothy’s in Etobicoke. The veteran Rocker, who had also endured a 9-week recuperation period…

\ TO CENTRAL \ Hopefully tonight won’t be the last night that Soul/R&B group Memphis Mudcat (aka The Legendary Mudcat Band) performs in the back room at Imperial Pub at 54 Dundas St. E. virtually across from Yonge-Dundas Square. The band is shooting some pro-calibre video tonight, but the combo, which features highly regarded veteran…
\ TO CENTRAL \ A venerable bassist who’s probably performed as part of more acts than most people have ever even had gigs, Terry Wilkins tonight celebrates his 70th birthday as part of a 10 p.m. show at Cameron House with The Sinners Choir, one of many acclaimed acts that have benefitted from his talents.…
