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:

An easy pick this week, with a whole bunch of my favourite musicians gathered together through the organizational acumen of Bea Labikova and Kayla Milmine. Four nights, four venues, many styles, and many voices combine to celebrate boundaries being pushed in all directions. Celebrate International Women's Day all weekend long in spaces that centre and amplify a wide range of womens' voices. (And bonus! The festival extends into Monday of next week as well!)
