The new year is underway but it’s a pretty quiet start. Mondays are never a particularly busy day to begin with and several of the regular open stages and residency shows normally taking place are cancelled as a huge number of rooms choose to take the day off to recover from last night’s festivities. (As with New Year’s Eve and other holidays, I’ve only included shows that I have some solid indication are actually happening.)
On the flip side, however, there are a few places offering shows this afternoon that you’d normally expect to see on a Sunday, especially in the 905 West area where Roc’n Doc’s and Mulligan’s Pub in Mississauga and Carrigan Arms in Burlington all have afternoon shows taking place that you’d otherwise be more likely to find happening on the Sabbath.
Elsewhere a few of the more hardy artists and rooms which house them will be doing their thing as usual and if you’re a musician who didn’t have a New Year’s Eve gig you can still, despite cancellation of most of the usual jams and open stages, get your chops out today with Sebastian Agnello at Black Swan in TO East, Al Reilly and his Catalyst band at Rockpile in Etobicoke or at Cornerstone in Guelph. You may get bonus points (and bonus stage time) for attending on such a frigid holiday Monday!
