SUMMARY:Lily Frost
DESCRIPTION: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.

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: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:Whiskey Business
DESCRIPTION: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. \nBand members: \nJeremy Oudit – Lead vocals\, Guitar & Ukulele \nChris Wise – Bass \nJay Cleary – Guitar \nNeil DeGasperis – Drums & Back-up vocals

SUMMARY:Yukon Cigar
DESCRIPTION:Yukon Cigar was lit in 2005. The idea? To take an earthy\, hushed songwriting style and set it on fire. Now\, after years on the Toronto club circuit (playing the likes of Cameron House\, Castro’s Lounge\, C’est What\, El Mocambo\, Rancho Relaxo\, and the NXNE festival)\, mainstays Craig and Peter have taken to backyard parties and neighbourhood pubs\, just two acoustics and a growing list of standards. With countless songs in the fire\, here lies the promise of sweet sing-alongs to come.

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 & Jenie Thai
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAnd 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. \nThere’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. \nMike 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. \n
