But at Relish in east TO, patrons, musicians and owner Joanne Clayton will be more excited to mark the 14th anniversary of the opening of the room —and a mere two weeks away from its closing!
But never fear, Relish isn’t going away, it’s just going west a little, relocating from 2152 Danforth Ave. at Cedarvale a block east of Woodbine to a more central location on Danforth near Logan Avenue, where they’ll have more space for the seven-days-a-week live music and a lot more foot traffic to enjoy the talent and scrumptious tapas food.
For tonight, however, the two-part anniversary celebration kicks off at 7 with eclectic band Four One Six and continues from 10 till close with an artist who’s been central to making the room a hip music desination: songwriter and jam emcee David Macmichael, who will do his bi-weekly Friday night appearance with his versatile band The $5 Tall Boys, who may just end up also getting a few special guests up on stage with them for this party.
No cover and there’s bound to be lots of treats floating around the room this evening I’d guess.
