Yukon Cigar
2026-06-20 16:00 - 2026-06-21 19:00
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.

Stone's Throw
2026-06-21 15:00 - 18:00
Stone’s Throw 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.
Band members:
Jeremy Oudit – Lead vocals, Guitar & Ukulele

Danny Marks
2026-06-27 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.

The Del-Fis
2026-06-28 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.
