Concert Listings Roundup #294

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:

Two Ted Country Blues [Allison Cameron/Kurt Newman/Mark Zurawinski] / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2019-03-20 (Wednesday – early!)

Gordon Grdina/Nick Fraser/Karen Ng (Gordon Grdina [solo!]) / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2019-03-20 (Wednesday) [FB event]

No spectacles here, just a relaxed double-header at The Tranzac. Another recombination of Allison Cameron's frequent collaborators in the early slot, followed by a visit from Vancouver's Gord Grdina later on.
