Mike Daley & Mike Ferolia
2026-03-12 18:00 - 20:00
Mike Ferolia began his career singing in bars and clubs in Kitchener and Toronto Ontario. Having had the pleasure of singing in bands with some of the best musicians in Canada, his career progressed quickly. With as many as three weekly gigs at any time from 2006 to 2016, Mike was able to hone a performance style that remains refreshingly engaging to this day.
The stage wasn’t Mike’s only domain. In the 2010s, the booming Toronto session scene also embraced him as a vocalist and even occasionally, a voice-over actor. Mike could be heard on the radio for years on the heels of commercials for Molson Canadian, Swiss Chalet, Mini Wheats, Casino Rama & more. He can also be heard on Jesse Cook’s ‘Nomad’, and Amy Sky’s ‘With This Kiss’ albums as well as countless independent records as both a bassist & vocalist.
In the mid to late 2010s, as the venues he frequented began to close (Joe Mama’s, Bar Italia, College Street Bar), Mike knew it was time for a change. By that time he had already begun honing a new skill, the bass guitar. Under the influence of some of his musical heroes, most notably, Sting, Mike found a new outlet and a fresh connection to music. From 2012 up to the present day, he’s been able to transform his successful and widely diverse career primarily as a vocalist, now working nearly exclusively as a vocalist/bassist.

Fraser Melvin & Jenie Thai
2026-03-14 17:00 - 19:00
Fraser Melvin is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, arranger, composer, and bandleader. He plays guitar, lap steel, mandolin, ukulele, bass, keys, trombone, and sings. Fraser has been performing in and around Toronto and Southern Ontario since 2006 with his own group, The Fraser Melvin Band, as well as numerous other bands including Bad Luck Woman & Her Misfortunes, Sam Polley And The Old Tomorrows, and The Jenie Thai Band. With over 15 years experience in the music business, Fraser has performed at the Toronto Jazz Festival, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Tremblant International Blues Festival, and the Kitchener Blues Festival as well as opened for Johnny Winter, Jim Cuddy, and Chilliwack.
When you meet her, Jenie Thai is composed, pleasant, amiable, friendly, and — she won’t like the word but you have to live with it — sweet. She has an open face, long hair, a ready smile and an easy laugh.
And she is also tough, and gritty, and plays barrelhouse piano steeped in the blues — and if that wasn’t enough to get your head around, she also writes and sings tough and tender ballads, direct from her heart to yours.
There’s a new album, Night on Fire, with a sold out show at Toronto’s Hugh’s Room and — while she now calls Toronto home — she lives on the road, and there’s dust on her shoes, love in her heart, and a whole lot of music in her soul.

Mike Daley & Alfie Smith
2026-03-19 18:00 - 20:00
Alfie Smith is a popular and crowd-pleasing fixture on the Ontario’s blues/folk/roots festivals and club circuit. He is a triple threat: a guitar virtuoso fluent on slide and vintage National and resonator instruments, an eloquent songwriter in the classic blues tradition, and a powerful singer with a voice to match his formidable physical presence. That deep voice sounds like it has been dredged from the depths of the muddy Mississippi River. It is rich and earthy, and capable of expressing tenderness, melancholy, joy, and righteous anger.
“Alfie Smith is one bad Mother @%*er.” – Mel Brown

Lily Frost
2026-03-21 17:00 - 19:00
Lily Frost is a dramatic, stylish performer who draws from the aesthetic of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the soundtracks of Quentin Tarantino, and the hot & bothered emotional drama that goes on between us fascinating humans. The poetry of Rimbaud, the erotica of Anaïs Nin, and torch singers like Julie London & Juliette Greco serve as strong influences. Frost has toured from Paris to Los Angeles and has shared stages with Pink Martini, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Coldplay and many more. Her awards include the Video Silver Sun through Bravo, a Gemini nomination for her theme song co-write for the hit TV series “Being Erica”, and Vancouver Female Vocalist of the Year in 2003. Lily’s songs have been frequently placed in TV shows and movies such as Grey’s Anatomy, Crazy Beautiful, Chevy Cobalt, Charmed, Felicity, and many more. Her efforts are now focused on curating a show that combines swing, rockabilly, burlesque, dance & fashion in an event called Big City Social.

The Del-Fis
2026-03-22 15:00 - 18:00
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?
Okay, 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.
Jerry 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.
Jerry’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.
It’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.

The band has released two independent CDs of all original material showcasing their wide range of musical interests.

Danny Marks
2026-03-28 17:00 - 19:00
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.
A 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.
Most 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.
Danny’s in his thirteenth year as the radio host of JAZZ.FM91’s Saturday night blues show, bluz.fm.
As 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.

Whiskey Business
2026-04-09 18:00 - 20:00
Whiskey Business is a powerhouse four-piece that channels the grit, groove, and soul of Southern rock at its finest. Fueled by bluesy swagger and vintage attitude, they bring the magic of groove-driven rock to life with every performance. Their deep-cut setlist rides through the swampy riffs of the Black Crowes and the Allman Brothers Band, and taps into the raw, blues-soaked energy of The Rolling Stones. But it doesn’t stop there—Whiskey Business also blends in the psychedelic-folk edge of Blind Melon, the funk-rock punch of Lenny Kravitz, and proudly tips their hat to Canadian icons like Big Sugar and The Tragically Hip. Every show is a high-octane journey down a dusty highway of rock ‘n’ roll classics—played loud and with heart. Their sound drips with southern-fried soul and no-frills authenticity, delivering a mix of back-porch boogie and roadhouse riot that gets bodies moving and heads nodding. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of bluesy rock, a lover of classic cuts, or just chasing a damn good time—Whiskey Business serves it up straight, no chaser.
