Here it is, the final night in what I thought of as “The Year of 17” —it was awfully nice of life to name a whole year after me! On the whole it’s been a steadfast year and I may have gained a little ground. I’ve expanded the listings in TorontoMoon.ca quite a bit this…

David Hines adding lustre to new Port Credit room tonight |TorontoMoon.ca 171227We | Shows for Wednesday, December 27, 2021
\ MISSISSAUGA \ A newish room in Port Credit, that I hadn’t previously been aware of, apparently hosts a Tuesday open stage night —which I only just found out about as a side-effect of learning that a musician I follow, David Hines, is performing there tonight for a special between-Christmas-and-New-Years show he’s putting on. David,…
Boxing Day is a weird animal | TorontoMoon.ca 171226Tu | Shows for Tuesday, December 26, 2021
I’m surprised at how many bars seem to take seriously the very loosely enforced laws and bylaws about doing business on Boxing Day. But a lot of places that normally have live music seven days a week are in fact closed today, while others may be open but are offering no entertainment. No wonder they…

Ugly Christmas sweaters hippest new fashion trend | TorontoMoon.ca 171222Fr | Shows for Friday, December 22, 2021
It should hardly come as news —though I haven’t really seen it written about anywhere else yet— that “ugly Christmas sweaters” are all the new fashion rage. Good luck trying to find one in a second-hand store this year. For there’s been a sudden mushrooming plethora of Ugly Christmas Sweater parties appear out of nowhere…
You can’t rely on social media alone to promote your shows

Being a subscriber to TorontoMoon.ca guarantees your gigs will be listed and seen by other paying subscribers, with a live link to your…

Lift spirits raising your voice in Christmas song with Michael Keys | TorontoMoon.ca 171218Mo | Shows for Monday, December 18, 2021
\ HAMILTON \ It’s too bad that keyboardist/singer and versatile band leader Michael Keys doesn’t get more gigs these days, because this lifetime honouree of two venerable music institutions not only is musically proficient and diligent, but can assemble an all-star unit at the drop of a stylish hat. We told you not too long…
Helping Shawn Brush stay mobile is a great Christmas cause | TorontoMoon.ca 171217Su | Shows for Sunday, December 17, 2021
\ OAKVILLE \ As we’ve mentioned before, a few years ago now, Shawn “The Krooked Cowboy” Brush is a versatile and seemingly indefatigable artist, and this despite the fact that he suffers from a sometimes debilitating condition that would keep many people stuck at home counting down the hours until the end. He suffers from…
