Fresh off a flight over the Atlantic Ocean, from Germany to Toronto, The Dead South barely had time to catch their breath before playing back-to-back nights in Hogtown. We sat down with Nate, Scott, and Colton before their set at The Horseshoe to talk about Europe, Road Gold, their music, Bluegrass, and hanging out in […]
The Edge’s Jingle Bell Rock Series Cairo, Birds of Bellwoods and Blue Sky Miners Saturday night in Toronto was the first show of The Edge’s Jingle Bell Rock concerts. The first in the Discovery Series at The Mod Club, and it was amazing! The Edge is donating $1 from each ticket sale to The Daily […]
If you didn’t already know, Friday night is a good night for rock and roll in Toronto! On a chilly November night on Queen Street, three rock and roll bands took their turns on the legendary Horseshoe Tavern stage and did everything in their power to turn up the heat and the volume. Spoiler: They […]
I had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely and talented Leah Daniels last week at The Gibson Guitar Lounge where we caught up and chatted about her album “What it Feels Like”. Let’s get right to it! TC: Hi Leah, it’s so good to see you! LD: Hi! It’s so good to see […]
Toronto: The Opera House – SOLD OUT Thanks to Poor Young Things we were front row for the sold out “The Contender Tour” on Saturday night at The Opera House.

Country music needs to stop hating on country music! If you’ve ever read the comment section of a Sam Hunt or Florida Georgia Line video, you know what I’m talking about. And if your gut reaction to that sentence is to say, “That’s not real country music”, I really hope you keep reading this post. […]
It’s that time of year again – moustaches are sprouting on Mo Bros all over the place, and Mo Sistas are joining the campaign to help raise funds and awareness to support men’s health initiatives. Here in Toronto I’ve been lucky enough to have a team of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas for the last […]
We’re always told not to judge a book by its cover. BUT, when you look at the boys from The Lazys with their long hair, healthy beards, ink, and beers in their hands – it’s hard not to see rock and roll. This week we sat down with lead singer Leon Harrison and guitarist Matty […]
I love Movember. I love the coming together of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to help raise awareness and money to help dudes with physical and mental health needs. In fact, this is the 6th year in a row that I’m growing my own moustache in support of the cause. So, to celebrate the season, […]
CD Shopping Spree at HMV My week started off pretty high up on the awesome scale. I had the privilege of meeting up with Poor Young Things at the Yonge and Bloor HMV for a little CD shopping. I chatted with Matt about the band and the EP and then we picked out some awesome CDs. TC: Let’s start […]
And the CMA goes to… If you didn’t get a chance to watch the CMA Awards last night we’re highly recommending you make an effort to watch it. ABC has posted the entire show on YouTube! Country Music Awards 2015 – Full Show But even without the surprises of the award winners, this is an […]
With the announcement of Tim McGraw as one of the first two headliners added to the 2016 Boots and Hearts lineup we’re thinking about how lucky we are to get a 2nd chance to see maybe the biggest male country star of a generation. McGraw headlined Friday night of Boots & Hearts year 1 (2012), […]
