Canadian Music Week 2016 is in full swing in Toronto. And man it’s pretty much all night, every night, at every venue in the T-dot. While Corey was over at the Phoenix, I hit up the Dakota Tavern to capture the action and here is my recap of what went down.
Boots and Hearts Pre-Game Party – Toronto
KX Country and Boots & Hearts teamed up to bring the biggest Country Show to CMW.
