\ TO EAST \

 

Reid Pickering and Chris Bennett are at the heart of the lively and catchy original Country Pop sound of The Ditch Horses, who do their monthly first-Tuesday no-cover show 9-11 tonight at The Only Café on Danforth Ave. at Donlands.

As we told you back in June, the first Tuesdays of each month are an unfortunately totally unpublicized (except by TorontoMoon.ca!) but excellent musical adventure at Dora Keogh on Danforth Ave. near Broadview. Stuart Laughton and a highly talented group of versatile players live up to their “Radio Dial” name by taking audiences on a no-cover 9-12 tour of the hits from a wide of genres from the days when radios did still have dials and were worth giving a spin.
