Slowcity.ca Open Mic with Cat Power, Tariq, Leaf Rapids, Bad Books, David Gray and Sessa

By Will McGuirk

As we waver between seasons, on the verge of summer, on the waning of Spring, wary of winter’s return we see this inbetweenness in the music stepping up for the open mic today - its a mixed bag with the swales and swells of Cat Power, the poptimism of Tarig, the icy Canadianism of Leaf Rapids, a double hit of the erudite Bad Books, the songwriterly David Gray, and Brazilian spiritualism from Sessa, Yes just go with the flow, we will get your there.

Slowcity.ca Open Mic: No jokes just great tunes from Jenn Grant, The Strumbellas, Yoke Lore, Justin Wright, Luca Fogale, Tariq, the Middle Kids and more

By Will McGuirk

Nature has been playing enough japes on us so there’s no need for the annual con on this April 1. We have a full line-up of known and new, stars and starters for the open mic. The list has Yoke Lore, Justin Wright, The Strumbellas, Close Talkers, Lydia Persaud, Tim Moxam, Jenn Grant, Radical Face, Luca Fogale, Tariq, Middle Kids on it. We are getting a lot of players as you can see and hear so we may have to add another open mic day, maybe Wednesdays. Dig in.
