\ SCARBOROUGH \

There are three more Saturday afternoon jams before the holiday break at The Loaded Dog in Scarborough, and singer Jim Cornell of the host band Still Sunday wants to make the best use of them by doing something to add to the holiday spirit. His group, which also features Earl Johnson on second guitar, is asking jammers to bring along donations to a Toy Mountain collection as well as items suitable for donation to the Food Bank.

 

 

\ TO DOWNTOWN \

If Julian Taylor needs an introduction then you haven’t been regularly reading our daily posts —and you must not have been paying attention to the buzz in the music industry either— because JT and his band are very hot right now. Tonight at Horseshoe Tavern they release the first of four eps that together will eventually comprise a double album to be known as Desert Star.
