Concert Listings Roundup #277

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gigs of the week:

Allison Cameron Mini-Festival (feat. Arraymusic with Germaine Liu and Nicole Rampersaud) / Array Space 2018-11-23 (Friday) [FB event]

Allison Cameron Mini-Festival (feat. Allison Cameron [solo] / c_RL) / Array Space 2018-11-24 (Saturday) [FB event]

A civic treasure and an inspiration to many, it's rather pleasing to see Allison Cameron being celebrated with a couple of shows at Array that show off her different creative sides (composer and improviser) — as well as a chance to see how the two inform each other.
