Blues Rock, Hard Rock, Rock n Blues & Waterfront Blues

When things pickup, they really pickup! I’ve got a busy Blues week ahead. Starting with local hard-rock act Flux440 at the Birchmount this Friday, then on Saturday, I’ll be trekkin down to the infamous El Mocambo for the return of the Legendary band Moxy. I’m gonna try to see all this plus the Waterfront Blues Festival at Woodbine park (A free event), and even finish rebuilding my mothers backyard deck!!

Next week, on Thursday, Frank Cosentino will bring his blues-rock gang to Timothy’s on Brownsline. And to top the week off, Big Crush will be vying for the top spot in the Toronto Blues Society’s Talent Search on June 8th at Dominion on Queen East.

Hope to see some of you out and about supporting your local Blues, Rock and Festival scene, cheers!

Virgil Scott hosts his annual New Years for Musicians Party, in February

Hey all, please excuse the delay in posting some new pic’s, I’m getting around to editing & posting a few gems from this past winter. More recent galleries and posts coming soon. This event at Hollywood Bar & Grill in Etobicoke, was post-poned from it’s originally scheduled date, Jan 22nd to Feb 19th due to an apparent gas leak at the club.

So we all had to wait another month for this great showcase of exceptionally gifted performers, most of which live, play, perform and otherwise entertain in the GTA and surrounding urban areas. All organized and hosted by Virgil Scott!

Here are a few selections from that show, with more at the gallery link. Please check them out, comment or question if you wish, otherwise, enjoy!
