\ ETOBICOKE \ Although it’s known as a Jazz venue, Etobicoke’s Old Mill Inn is by no means rigid in its musical roster, often offering Pop Rock groups, occasional Roots performers and, like tonight, Blues musicians with a smooth command of their craft. Accompanied by Juno-winning pianist and Blues songwriter Julian Fauth, tonight’s feature there,…
Versatile stringsmeister Chris Bennett is a key part of several highly regarded Roots/Country-Pop groups, to the point where when you see his name listed as one of the players on a show you can pretty much be guaranteed that it’s going to be an exceptionally entertaining and high-quality experience. I first heard him accompanying rootsy…

\ TO EAST \ An often stirringly inspiring and sometimes cleverly biting songwriter, Murray Powell has spent way too little time on stage over the past couple of years for our liking. I do know he’s been busy working on a new album, long overdue after his fine debut effort Remedials released way back in…

When it comes to musical legacies, few Toronto performers can match the longevity, stamina and verve of R&B singer John Finley, who is being honoured for fifty years of musical excellence at a sold-out show on Sunday, October 25. The Honouring Our Own tribute show, being put on by Pete Otis and his SongTown music…
Hopefully tonight’s show by The McDales at Humble Beginnings on Dundas St. West in the Junction area of west TO means that Country songwriter Herb Dale is fully recovered from the medical challenges that have plagued him over the past couple of years. I’m not sure if Herb and bass-vocals accompanist and life partner Fran…
\ TO EAST \ Pop Rock, Dance/Funk and Reggae songwriter Julian Taylor (JT to friends and fans) has been receiving a steady stream of accolades over the past few months, but that eruption of respect and appreciation is only likely to increase towards the end of the year as he releases a new double-album in…
\ TO DOWNTOWN \ Music bios are regularly full of a lot of hype and the superlatives contained in descriptions of 26 year-old Pop songwriter and R&B/Soul/Funk covers artist Stacey Kaniuk might seem to conform to that mold. But in her case, certainly based on what I’ve heard and seen on her You Tube videos,…
Since young Blues tyro Sam Taylor stopped doing any performances at Relish in east TO a few weeks ago, about now some of his many fans will be jonesing for a dose of his by turns fiery and smooth guitar licks and soulful vocals. Never fear, tonight he takes his mix of covers and originals downtown…

\ MISSISSAUGA \ It’s been over five years since the last time I visited the Mulligan’s pub in west Mississauga (at 2458 Dundas St. West in the Tim Horton’s/Beer Store plaza just east of Winston Churchill Drive) but I doubt the place has changed much since then. I used to go there when I lived…
\ BURLINGTON \ Is there anybody reading this who, even if they haven’t actually attended a show by the Phil & John duo —Phil Naro and John Rogers (sometimes aka The Dusty Danglers)— hasn’t at least heard of this act? It seems unlikely. The pair perform well over 100 shows a year together and have…

\ SCARBOROUGH \ There’s a reason why fun-loving couple and talented singers Carol “The English Rose” MacDonald and partner Rob “The Mad Englishman” have been enduring attractions at a number of clubs in the east GTA for several years now. As I’ve mentioned previously, the pair host Karaoke Sundays in Ajax as well as every…
Given that it’s a holiday with a lot of family connotations attached, many clubs have cancelled regularly scheduled shows (Dora Keogh, The Roncy, Roc ‘n’ Doc’s, for example) or aren’t even open at all today (Cameron House, Relish). While we have double-checked many of the events below, since we can’t check every event in every…
