SUMMARY:Danny Marks
DESCRIPTION:This iconic rocker’s roots go back to the sixties as a founding member of Capitol Records’ group\, Edward Bear. After a span as a journey man session musician throughout the seventies\, Danny settled in to the club scene\, establishing a cult following as a genre bender in music and humor. \nA house band gig at Toronto’s famed Albert’s Hall led him to host his own nation-wide TV show\, Stormy Monday. Through the eighties\, Danny starred in CBC radio’s hit series the Hum Line. \nMost recently\, Danny Marks recorded two original music albums\, Guitarchaeology and True\, before paying tribute to Toronto’s R&B roots with Big Town Boy in 2005. \nDanny’s in his thirteenth year as the radio host of JAZZ.FM91’s Saturday night blues show\, bluz.fm. \nAs a child\, young Danny would lock himself in his room with a stack of 45’s\, an old Seabreeze record player\, and a fantasy of having his own radio show. More than a few years later this pre-pubescent propensity paid off.

SUMMARY:Mike Daley & Sean Pinchin
DESCRIPTION:Mike Daley is a guitarist and singer based in Toronto. A professional musician for over 30 years\, Mike has toured Canada\, the United States and England and has recorded extensively in a variety of musical styles. He is a longtime member of Fraser/Daley with bassist Alec Fraser and is also proud to work with a variety of bands around Toronto including the Tom Waits Appreciation Congregation\, the Travellers and others. \nSean Pinchin is a Canadian slide guitar hero that has been playing professionally for over twenty years.

SUMMARY:The Del-Fis
DESCRIPTION:I don’t know what The Del Fi’s are; the more I think about it\, the more I don’t know what to say. But I know it’s right\, and I know it’s good. I know it works. I mean\, it’s Jerry Leger’s thing\, but when I asked him what he would say The Del Fi’s are\, all he would tell me is that I (meaning me) am The Del Fi’s\, just as you (meaning you) are The Del Fi’s. And because you are you\, you understand. Don’t you? \nOkay\, maybe we should try this again. Jerry Leger is a Toronto singer/songwriter\, and one of the best in the world\, as far as I’m concerned. If you haven’t heard him\, you have no right to be one of these people constantly moaning about how music was so much better when people actually played instruments\, blah\, blah\, blah. \nJerry loves Bob Dylan\, Neil Young and John Lennon. Sometimes it sounds as though all three are fighting for space in his songs. But those songs are his own\, the product of a natural born storyteller with a sense of rhythm that would make Little Richard’s big toe shoot up in his boot. \nJerry’s songs hit deep in your soul\, but he also often loves just making music with folks just to flex some of his old time rock and roll muscles\, and explore some of the paths his songwriting normally doesn’t take. That’s kinda where The Del Fi’s come in. \nIt’s rock and roll that we all care about right? I’m sure you wouldn’t still be reading this if you didn’t agree. So I guess that does make you a Del Fi. Welcome aboard and grab an instrument\, we’ve got a show to do.

SUMMARY:Yukon Cigar
DESCRIPTION:Yukon Cigar was lit in 2005. The idea? To take an earthy\, hushed songwriting style and set it on fire.

With countless songs in the fire\, here lies the promise of sweet sing-alongs to come.

SUMMARY:Compassion Fatigue (Book Launch)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Compassion Fatigue the latest book from Humberto da Silva. \nAbout the book…A father comforts his young son\, hoping against hope their last little island of the Azorean archipelago won’t be strip mined by the Singularity. A couple choose a cheap upload for the consciousness of their young daughter who is dying from a disease they can’t afford to cure. A tourist doing yoga on a Canary Island beach watches the distance diminish between himself and the African refugees landing on a European shore. A soldier is debriefed after witnessing unimaginable violence ending in an encounter with a mythical being. Humberto da Silva’s prophetic\, disturbingly realized stories remind us of the bizarre\, disorienting\, and occasionally horrifying nature of life in the recent past\, the weird present\, and the fearful future. Humans are adaptable\, love is enduring\, but it will get weird. Compassion Fatigue is an unnerving\, and occasionally funny\, collection of speculative fiction. \nAbout the author…Humberto da Silva’s work has published in Our Times\, THIS Magazine\, OnSpec\, and Rampike. His story “Compassion Fatigue” was included in Best Canadian Short Stories (Oberon Press\, 1992). He has flown millions of miles and visited world capitals\, tourist resorts\, and war zones\, managing to retain his sense of humour along the way. Humberto da Silva lives in Toronto with his wife Lina\, and black cat Montie.

SUMMARY:Michelle Rumball
DESCRIPTION:Michelle Rumball makes songs. She chases songs by other writers. And she sings them all with joy and conviction and a smile in her voice.  Now\, after a ground-breaking album with the legendary Grievous Angels\, two previous solo records\, and a sojourn in New Orleans\, she’s back with a new collection of songs. \n     Time to make a list\n     Burn it up and move along\n     Time to sing a whole new kind of song\n     Time to see a sky of blue not grey or rain \nThey’re the opening lines of just one of the 11 songs on Years Behind\, Michelle’s new record\, and a new turning point in her life.  Five of the  songs on the record she made herself; others are love-letters to your heart from John Hiatt\, Bob Dylan\, Sting and Toronto songwriters Kevin Quain and Chris Staig. \nAnd she sings all of them with heart and style. \nMichelle is from Toronto’s maligned suburb of Scarborough — and proud of it — and she’s been a musician for as long as she can remember. Her powerful voice first emerged as the voice of the legendary Canadian acoustic rock band Grievous Angels. After two records and five years\, a Juno nomination  and countless gigs in coffee houses\, clubs\, concert and legion halls\, bars and festivals across the country\, she left to find her own voice and sing her own songs.

SUMMARY:Danny Marks
DESCRIPTION:This iconic rocker’s roots go back to the sixties as a founding member of Capitol Records’ group\, Edward Bear. After a span as a journey man session musician throughout the seventies\, Danny settled in to the club scene\, establishing a cult following as a genre bender in music and humor. \nA house band gig at Toronto’s famed Albert’s Hall led him to host his own nation-wide TV show\, Stormy Monday. Through the eighties\, Danny starred in CBC radio’s hit series the Hum Line. \nMost recently\, Danny Marks recorded two original music albums\, Guitarchaeology and True\, before paying tribute to Toronto’s R&B roots with Big Town Boy in 2005. \nDanny’s in his thirteenth year as the radio host of JAZZ.FM91’s Saturday night blues show\, bluz.fm. \nAs a child\, young Danny would lock himself in his room with a stack of 45’s\, an old Seabreeze record player\, and a fantasy of having his own radio show. More than a few years later this pre-pubescent propensity paid off.
