Pages and articles from Toronto Moon Magazine from its inception in 2009 (after conversion from to-nite magazine) to its successor since January 2013, TorontoMoon.ca

Peter Eastmure releasing cd at Dave’s Sun. Jan. 30 The music of Peter Eastmure eloquently makes the argument that attempting to classify an artist into a pigeonhole of “Folk”, “Jazz”, “Rock” or “Pop” is an artificial and essentially fruitless endeavour.
