Sam Roberts Band Brings the Lo-Fantasy Tour to Toronto’s Massey Hall
It was very cold Valentine’s Day in Toronto but the Sam Roberts Band certainly warmed things up inside Massey Hall last night. Let’s start with the opening act, The High Dials, who turned on the heat. It’s not a coincidence that this band is also a Montreal based act, turns out Sam and Trevor Anderson have known each other since elementary school. The High Dials website describes their music as being “shaded with psychedelic, electronic and folk rock influences but firmly rooted in a timeless pop approach and sensibility.” I found the music had an ethereal feel, with wonderful harmonies, interesting percussion, and provoking lyrics.

Meghan Patrick: Canadian Artists to Watch
I first saw Meghan Patrick at Boots & Hearts in 2013. She was fronting The Stone Sparrows, a local Bowmanville act, and the second she opened her mouth she had my attention. Gorgeous, talented and wearing what turned out to be my favourite boots of the weekend. I think Meghan has the voice of an angel and her new song is stuck in my head.
