Thursday night we joined Canadian music fans and supporters at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto in support of MusiCounts.

MusiCounts – Support Music in Canadian Schools

October 7th, 2015 by Joshua Murray

We’re very lucky as music fans in Canada to listen to and watch our favourite Canadian artists do their thing.
