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.
Gig of the week:
The 17th Annual Small World Music Festival (feat. Daraa Tribes / Vieux Farka Touré) / Harbourfront Centre (Concert Stage) 2018-08-17 (Friday – free! outdoors! all-ages + family-friendly!) [more info]
There's a lot to delve into at Small World's 17th Annual Music Festival, moving this year to Harbourfront Centre for the weekend. But the true highlight is a free concert with one of the world's great guitar players. Joyfully effortless virtuosity (and plenty groovin'!) should go down just perfect down on the lake shore, so this one is not to be missed.
