TorontoMoon.ca 140528We Shows - Underhill & Cass a formidable yet welcoming jam host duo
Underhill & Cass a formidable yet welcoming jam host duo /TORONTO WEST/ Between the two of them, there’s probably no style of music that eclectic guitarist Wayne Cass and versatile sax player (and mayoral candidate) Richard Underhill aren’t comfortable playing.

TorontoMoon.ca 140526Mo Shows - Guitarist Girdlestone helps attract top talent to Monday jam
Guitarist Girdlestone helps attract top talent to Monday jam /PORT CREDIT/ Back in early February I described the advent of a new Monday jam with the Kimberley & Co. band at Roc’n Doc’s in Port Credit as “an exciting development”.

Tranzac has super roster to compete with the sunny Sun. weather /TORONTO/ It’s not easy attracting people to come into a bar on a Sunday afternoon at this time of year, particularly when it’s a day like today is forecast to be: warm, sunny and all-round basically the kind of day we dreamt about through…

Passionate but perky songwriter Jessica Blake shines tonight /TORONTO EAST/ Personable, passionate, gorgeous and very animated on stage, Folk-Pop songwriter Jessica Blake wove a captivating spell the night I heard her with her trio last month at Relish on Danforth Ave. in east TO. The highlight of that night was certainly originals of substance from…
TorontoMoon.ca 140521We Shows - BTBs Fusion Jazz combo shows amorphous quality of genre
BTBs Fusion Jazz combo shows amorphous quality of genre /TORONTO EAST/ Given the fact that the term “Jazz” started out as being coined to describe music that fit no other genre, because it incorporated elements of other, often widely disparate forms as it first emerged in the early 20th century, it shouldn’t be surprising that…

TorontoMoon.ca 140520Tu Shows - Mike Daley showing his own stuff at Monarchs Pub tonight
Mike Daley showing his own stuff at Monarchs Pub tonight /TORONTO/ You have to a pretty decent musician to get uber-bassist Alec Fraser to be your accompanist for a gig, let alone form a duo with you and record two albums. So even if you’re not familiar with the talents of guitarist Mike Daley (best…

Robbie Lane & The Disciplines can make staycation weekend special /TORONTO NORTH/ So you’re stuck at home for the long weekend (just as well perhaps, given how chilly it was yesterday, and especially last night) and have a pocketful of cash that you didn’t spend going away.
