No matter how much time moves on, the 80s refuse to die.
As I arrived for ABC’s concert at El Mocambo, the last time they visited Toronto was in 2009 when they played Pride, I saw two punk twentysomethings hanging out on the corner of College and Spadina. Siouxsie and the Banshees aren’t on the bill, I wanted to tell them. I should have just embraced them for looking so 80s.
Sudbury’s country star Andrew Hyatt takes on the stage at the El Mocambo in Toronto on May 6th for a private party to release his EP Four Good Years! Fans, friends and family all joined in for a night of old hits, new hits and of course his debut song Four Good Years. Accompanied with opening acts such as Cory James Mitchell Band and Alli Walker, it was a night for Canadian’s, by Canadian’s.
Nomadic indie-folk musician, Tennyson King, has been travelling across Canada tour in support of his recently released album, Good Company.
“I am so excited to get back on the road and start sharing my music to people in real life,” says Tennyson about his cross Canada tour. “Along with the excitement there are some nerves too as I’ve been grounded for almost two years, so it will take a little adjustment to be moving from town to town playing shows again. I think bringing music back into the world is important not only for me but for everyone right now. We all need to start feeling the sense of community, joy and human connection that has been missing.”
Kendra Kay, Manitoba’s rising country star, came to the legendary The El Mocambo in Toronto, ON, this past Thursday March 10th to show why she has several MCMA Awards to her name as well as being a two-time Manitoba Country Music Award Winner.
