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:
The Music Gallery's Departures Series: TONE Festival (feat. Dwarfs of East Agouza [Maurice Louca/Sam Shalabi/Alan Bishop] / Fresh Snow / Omar Bongo) / The Tranzac (Main Hall) 2019-06-06 (Thursday) [FB event]
TONE Festival (feat. Ben LaMar Gay / Bonjay / Craig Dunsmuir's Dun Dun Band) / The Drake Underground 2019-06-09 (Sunday) [FB event]
The TONE festival returns for a third year, mixing visiting headliners who are too audacious or too out-of-the-box for other local festivals with noteworthy local acts. There's three pairs of shows spread out through the month, but things get going with a bang with these two nights. Money-saving four show and festival passes are available if you want to take the plunge. (Taking the plunge is recommended.)
