UPDATE:  The Mike McKenna birthday show has been rescheduled to next Sunday due to the weather.  Other show cancellations have also been received since this was posted.  If you want to check a show’s status, click the link in the club’s address field to go to Google Maps, where address listings also usually include phone numbers.

Weather forecasters, police and other well-meaning authorities are advising people, because of an expected ice storm, not to travel today unless it is “essential” to do so.  But for some die-hard Blues-Rock and Roots/Jazz/Blues music fans, that is exactly how they’ll regard attendance at either of two cavalcades of talent taking place in the east and west end of Toronto.

Fans of Mike McKenna have been loyal for 50 years now, since the iconic Blues-Rock slide guitar player was with Luke & The Apostles and The Ugly Ducklings and since, half a century ago this summer, he took out an ad seeking fellow players to start a new band, leading to the formation of McKenna Mendelson Mainline that autumn and a place in music history.

As I told you a couple of years ago on the occasion of his 70^th birthday, McKenna was inducted into the Canada South Blues Hall of Fame in 2013, as we reported back then.  And, as I’ve also noted on several occasions, he is regarded by Blues players all across the world as a seminal influence emanating from his brilliance on MMM’s debut Stink album from 1969.

McKenna celebrates his 72^nd birthday today at Black Swan Tavern with a musical party orchestrated by SongTown impresario Pete Otis that includes not only a reprise of George Olliver and Steven Ambrose sharing a stage (about which we told you a month ago) but also features numbers by legendary R&B/Jazz crooner and entertainer Danny B, plus Roots doyenne Debbie Fleming —all performing backed by McKenna’s all-star Slidewinder Band: Tom Robertson on second guitar, Hap Roderman on bass and Rob Kirkpatrick on the kit.

But wait, there’s more!  Taking place from 4 till 8 or so in the room at 154 Danforth Ave. near Broadview, the panoply of talents will also include guest harpist Jay Moonah plus mini-sets by dynamic Pop duo Amber & Alex, by songwriters Pat Little and Stephen Court and also one by Otis himself.  And incredibly, the cover charge for this all-star assemblage is just $10.

While fans at the Swan will be celebrating, it’ll be more like a wake —albeit a very lively, entertaining one— at Gate 403 on Roncesvalles Ave., where a plethora of artists who’ve performed in the room over the past 25 years (less a few months) will gather to say good-bye to the venue.

The room at 403 Roncesvalles is closing after tonight’s 5 p.m. through 1 a.m. (or later?) parade of artists representing the many genres of music that have found a home in the toney yet casual space just south of Howard Park Ave.  The room has been sold and the new owner has no plans to continue live music, we’re told.

As I recounted in an article I wrote in 2015, the club has been vital in helping to lead the transformation of the strip along Roncesvalles from a dowdy, xenophobic ethnic enclave to become part of the hip Parkdale-Junction live music corridor

Through the years, as I’ve told you previously, it has consistently offered a wide array of live music that includes a heaping helping of Jazz but also lots of Blues, Roots and even Latin and other World genres —and most of the artists have been performing original material.  Blues songwriter Julian Fauth used his multi-year residency there, with its in-house grand piano, to develop and test-drive songs that ultimately won him a Juno award —and that’s just one example.

It’s also been a welcoming kind of home=away-from home hangout for the local artists —and also for many area families.  Parents introducing their kids to the charms of live music have regularly been seen there on weekends and even for the 5 p.m. early shows nightly during the week —which, it must be added, have been way ahead of the curve for what venues need to do to succeed in today’s market.

Bill Heffernan, about whom I wrote yesterday as he hosted the final show of a 13-year weekly run there Saturday afternoons, summed up it’s special appeal in a post he wrote yesterday on social media.

“It was a place where a single mother or father or a couple could bring their kids and let them roam freely, instilling in them a love of live music and all that goes with it, while the adults could kick back with some food and drink in a relaxed casual atmosphere,” he wrote.

About tonight’s show, Bill tells us to expect a star-studded stream of talents who’ve performed in the room over the past quarter century sitting in with the listed acts.

“I think, other than the frontline “names” it’s the friends component that will make this show electric,” he told us in an email, “as all of us have had so many fine local musicians sit in on our shows.

“Too numerous to name will be all of the other front liners and sidemen and women who will be showing up to collaborate with the feature acts.  Also of note there will be multiple Juno Award winners, as well as Maple Blues Award winners and nominees, and critically acclaimed Jazz and Folk artists,” he predicted.

The formal set list includes: Julian Fauth with Ken Yoshioka & Friends; Chris Staig & Shelley Coopersmith & Friends; Bruce Griffin Trio; Donne Roberts; Bill Heffernan & Friends; Evan Desaulnier Trio; Arthur Renwick & Friends; and Michelle Rumball.  [See set times in listings.]

For this show, as has always been the case at the room, there won’t be a cover charge but you can expect there’ll be a prominently displayed donations jar, with all proceeds going to the musicians, who will now have one less place

Luckily for both of these momentous events, it appears at this writing at 8 a.m. as if the expected storm may not be as severe and dangerous as initially predicted.

The latest forecast calls for temperatures to hit by a couple of degrees above zero by 3 p.m. or so, while the likelihood of precipitation falls to about 20%.  Hopefully that eventuality makes the absolutely necessary travel to these two shows relatively hazard-free for the throngs who will be there no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.
