Winterfolk XII is here!

Winterfolk returns this weekend running from Valentines Day, February 14th thru to the 16th, so you then get to spend Family Day recovering, or ah , spend time with your Family!

This year it has moved back to the street! Danforth & Broadview to be specific, were several bars in the area will play host to over 100 blues & roots artists on 5 stages. Most shows are free admission with a few modestly priced headliner shows. There will also be singer/songwriter workshops, audience participation ones too. Check out the lineup and venue info at the newly revamped Winterfolk website;  www.winterfolk.com

Returning this year is, amongest others, Jack de Keyzer, Rick Taylor & Maneli Jamal. Three very different and distinctive guitarist’s. I found a few images from last years festival which was held at the Delta, now Eaton Chelsea Hotel plus a couple more as a little preview , enjoy! Support Live Indie Music in all it’s forms, go check out a band or two 🙂

Paul James Band @ The Opera House 1/18/2014

The annual Paul James Birthday Bash presented by Q107 was held at the Opera House this year, an amazing venue, beautiful place. Quite a few people I now were planning to attend this show, which was ‘sort of’ free. You had to know the secret catch phrase “Hey Bo-Diddely” to get in, or pay a modest $15.

Paul was at his best, playing a great selection of rock n roll and rockabilly tunes, while showing off his showmanship, spinning around numerous times with his guitar behind his head.

The fans and friends in attendance sang out an enthusiastic rendition of Happy Birthday midway through the set, Paul was quite taken and thankful.

The special guest for this evening was blues harp maestro Paul Reddick
