They each spent years touring as collaborators with diverse projects, and all along they were playing fiddle tunes at sessions, folk dances, and afterparties. With this duo project, you’re invited into these social music afterhours, as they dig into their favourite tunes on hardingfele, guitar, and raging twin fiddles. Their show is a masterful exploration of traditional music collected from years of immersion. Norwegian gangars learned in the mountains of Telemark, Irish jigs picked up from countless sessions, French bourrées lifted from community dances - the thread that connects these pieces is Boeur and Iredale-Gray’s open-hearted, contagious love of the melodies.

Billy, all the way from Abitibi in North Western Québec, the piper of the group, cracks the Scottish traditions of the Highlands and Lowlands on Bagpipes and Smallpipes, and is not shy to weave Uilleann Pipes, Whistles and Harmonicas into the mix, along with a good dose of foot tapping and chansons à répondre. Chris, a reel traveler fiddler, grew up all over Canada and gives us a taste of the Cape Breton tradition, he always prefers to sing his songs in their purest forms. Together, they are Loch Ontario. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/bc900e7c-e38f-4c1b-93db-554962ff5610/BFJ+image.png Events - TUESDAY - BIG FAM JAM 9.00 The BigFamJam is a weekly open jam hosted by Jackson Steinwall, designed to bring together musicians of all backgrounds and skill levels to celebrate the joy of making music.

Shaped by the beauty and tension of the Canadian landscape, his songs carry a slow-burn intensity, delivered with what Electric City Magazine calls “calm, confident, and emotive vocals.” Backed by a seasoned band, Graham crafts polished alt-country songs that smolder beneath the surface—measured, human, and deeply felt. Their 2020 debut, Despite Where We’ve Been, was praised by Americana UK as a “mature and promising debut,” capturing a band fully in command of its sound. Moving between vulnerability and raw honesty, Peter Graham & the band deliver modern Canadiana that lingers—songs that either warm your chest or hit you square in the gut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/a38874ec-f327-48a1-8a32-5f7a573defd3/Petal+Loop+Poster.jpg Events - SUNDAY - PETAL LOOP 11.00 Monthly ambient Jam.

Playing alongside greats like the Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Planet Smashers, The Original Wailers, Big D and The Kids Table, The Slackers levelled up their fanbase and live show. With the release of Stand With The Youth the band was solidified in the National and now international Ska and Punk scenes. Things were going great!

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1c5b744f-dbf0-471c-9594-1aa8b2920c1b/Pachedub+Drom+Taberna+.JPG Events - FRIDAY - PACHEDUB COLLECTIVE 8.30 Pachedub Collective is a Latin Reggae–Funky–Dub band based between Toronto, Canada and Querétaro, Mexico.

The resulting eight‑track album is warm, intimate, and deeply personal, weaving stories of love, abandonment, resilience, and coming of age.

At just nineteen, Rachel has already built a notable performance résumé. She has appeared at festivals across Quebec, including the West Island Blues Festival, Montreal Ribfest, and Montreal Fringe Festival, where her storytelling and stage presence consistently resonate with audiences. Her reach extends into the United States as well, with solo performances at the New York State Fair, Brew York, and Pennsylvania’s Wally Lake Fest demonstrating her ability to connect across diverse venues and audiences. Rachel is currently preparing to release her new EP, Old at Soul and Young at Heart, produced on 2‑inch tape by Toronto's Josh Goldman, known for his musical direction on Juno Award winner Kairo McLean’s Easy Now. The project highlights her evolution as both a writer and performer, offering a raw, analog warmth that complements her poetic songwriting.

He studied dance and theatre in Tehran before gathering musicians of the independent scene around the contemporary folk project Kamakan. Drawing from music traditions of the south of Iran, Arabic and Persian heritage, animating songs drawn from classic and contemporary poetry, Kamakan has through the years taken multiple shapes with various musicians. In 2015 their first album quickly acquired classic status amongst young Iranians. A second couldn’t be published. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/72101f62-522a-4d20-bd76-080cc4f1aebe/QEN+POSTER+FEB+2026.PNG Events - THURSDAY - QUEER EMO NITE 10.3 0 doors TICKETED EVENT Toronto's queerest, saddest and wildest party, bring your most fabulous outfits down to the mosh pit and make some new queer sad friends!

Her influences range from pop, blues, rock, folk, jazz, reggae and classical citing influences from Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Nina Simone, Florence and the Machine, Adele, Toots and the Maytals, Parliament-Funkadelic to Bach. This diversity of musical tastes culminates in her particular indie-folk-pop sound. She is also a visual artist and chose to defer acceptance to complete graduate studies in Print at the Royal College of Art & Design (London) the world’s most prestigious post-graduate institute for art, in order to aggressively pursue music. She released her debut EP in 2024 and is currently working on her first LP. Athena’s music comes alive through a particular multi-cultural and poetic lens. She has Chinese-Filipino roots from her mother who was born in Manila and a European heritage from her father who hails from southern Greece. She is an ardent fan of magical realism in literature and the visual and cinematic arts and uses a similar filter when creating her music. An aim is to capture and process experiences and elevate them to the realm of the poetic. This is really what music, and all art, allows us to do. “I want to make the common inspiring and the mundane seem magical - because they are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8282f374-3569-48e2-9da9-16d38b45ff4d/Dabke+Fusion+Night.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - DABKE FUSION NIGHT PRESENTED BY THE GLOBAL SOUTH 10.00 Put your Dabke shoes on and let's dance shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand to remind each other how much unity and resistance Matter.

Drawing from Sephardi Judeo-Spanish songs, flamenco traditions from southern Spain, Balkan rhythms, and original global compositions, Ventanas creates a rich and expressive musical journey shaped by story, movement, and voice. The program is deeply connected to songs gathered and carried across generations. As a child, vocalist and dancer Tamar Ilana grew up travelling with her mother, an ethnomusicologist, learning old songs in villages, homes, and communities throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. These melodies, passed hand to hand and voice to voice, now live alongside new compositions, forming a living dialogue between tradition and the present moment. Throughout the concert, light appears as a guiding theme: candles glowing in windows, long winter nights filled with song, dawn slowly returning after darkness. The music moves fluidly between intimate, reflective moments and fiery, rhythm-driven pieces that warm the room and invite celebration. Designed for winter audiences in theatres, arts centres, and community spaces, Songs of Light offers a gathering place in the cold season — a shared experience of warmth, beauty, and connection.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/2d7ed39e-0575-44fa-b9e4-24aa131aff6a/Organic+Balkanic+photo.jpg Events - SATURDAY - ORGANIC BALKANIC BAND 8.30 Organic Balkanic Band exist more then 15 years.

Not bothered by the conventions and standard limitations of the flute, her powerful musical voice steers her through everything from hip-hop to bluegrass to Bulgarian folk music, and she is the leader of prog-rock tribute band Tullstars and performance art act Hairbrain. Catch Anh Phung on the mainstage at a summer festival facing off with the lead guitarist, or slinking around the basement after-hours at a free jazz club, but blink and she's off chasing the next new sound.” -Alan Mackie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - WEDNESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/n479jpdtg2gpzbk-dckfl-yd6dp-ryjdl-3hzw2-rjxrg-azr7t-7kt83-dh9y8-w7f7r-h7ep5-fgzet-f3shm-yx7c2-76r7h-ln87k-dcjd9-6rmad-2w34t-akh4h-jrepm-p65ry-n9ed6-k97wj-lzgbp-8wkx8-dl29h-tktpy-ahl9g monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/25785293-7296-46a6-8d0f-ed94d9c90383/Reverie+Taberna+%28Poster+%28US%29%29+%281%29.png Events - TUESDAY - REVERIE TABERNA 6.00 TICKETS HERE The Dell'arte Burlesque Collective brings you a Tuesday night revue of Burlesque Dancers and Cabaret Acts, twice a month at DROM!

Old New Year's Eve at DROM Taberna co-presented with LinkMusicLab Thanks to a far-sighted Roman general, who so totally crossed the Rubicon, we have been blessed with many interpretations of the New Year. For over 1600 years, the Julian calendar predominated in Western culture until Pope Gregory XIII changed it over to our current version of time calculation. In any case, the Julian Calendar still predominates in North Macedonia, Russia, Scotland, Serbia and Wales, amongst other nations. In partnership with Link Music Lab, we cordially invite you to our Old New Years celebration, bringing together the cultures of the old world, here in the historic meeting place on Turtle Island. We will have performances from DIVKA and Glava Lava featuring Marichka. DIVKA is a dynamic duo known for their cunning plucking, and wily word weaving. They embody a village girls' rebel reckoning, fusing mythologies, traditional village singing, and generations of femme power, mystic whimsy, and vengeance into a mesmerizing femme fatale force. With sharp tongues and a deep passion for ethnomusicology, Alina Kuzma and Zoë Ëoz bring a unique sonic experience using bygone folk songs from global women's music-making traditions. DIVKA weaves a sonic constellation of delicate arpeggios and guttural ancient invocations. Co-Presented by Link Music Lab, Glava Lava is a balkan-style brass band specializing in global folk music, with a rotating case of DROM Legends, led by Tangi Ropars. Link Music Lab is a Toronto-based artist collective & not-for-profit that strives to be a catalyst for content creation, bringing communities together through innovative and inclusive music. Link Music Lab employs an ethnomusicological approach to collaboratively developing concert, recording and artist marketing initiatives with member artists at all levels of career.

From Nubia, Sudan, to Harlem and Toronto. Their rhythms are played in what is considered “odd time” in Western music, combining jazz chord progressions with traditional African rhythms to produce an entrancing experience. Waleed tells stories atop an imaginative musical landscape, inspired by the chanting and vocal phrasing which have accompanied these rhythms since ancient times. Each composition narrates an experience or journey, continually changing depending on what story the musicians want to tell. Sometimes these experiences are personal, sometimes they are historical, sometimes they are a retelling of the past of the Nile and Nubian pyramids. Each musical journey creates a relationship between the storyteller (the band) and the audience. Waleed sings in over 15 African and Western languages, celebrating the African diaspora in Canada. As the band leader, Waleed has received numerous awards for different solo and group projects, being awarded and nominated for several Juno and Grammy awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/07c40ed8-b6d0-4fb7-956f-78413b27861e/JER+Jan+10+poster.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - JER LIVE AT DROM 11.30 Junction based Brazilian Canadian artist JER kicks off 2026 at Drom with an exclusive preview of her upcoming album It’s Not a Joke.

With his new album, “Soma”, producer, composer, DJ and visionary João Barbosa (Branko) has challenged himself to raise the bar even higher. The new album is the result of in-depth study, research, travel and production, where the artist presents his versatile universe of musical composition. Branko invited musicians into the studio to add harmonies and melodies to his productions. For “Soma”, Branko traveled between Lisbon, London and Rio de Janeiro. “Nuvem” (feat. BIAB), ‘Agenda’ (feat. Bryte), ‘Found My Way’ (feat. Carla Prata) and ‘Slide’ (feat. Jay Prince) are some of the tracks on the new album. Branko brings musicians on stage to accompany him, in what is an exercise in recreating the atmosphere of his latest album on stage. The artist, with “Soma”, has already performed all over Portugal, and also on international stages such as London, Amsterdam, Manchester, Berlin, Copenhagen and Gothenburg, among others. A different chapter begins for the founder of the unmissable Buraka Som Sistema, curator of festival line-ups across Europe, as well as the acclaimed TV show Club Atlas. Branko has been the focal point of an identity sound that is increasingly breaking down barriers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-rprgf-dd63g-3r2p5-xrdet-rxa6x-2kn58-bft3n-j3xl5-5rsj7-n2g5f-9zrkp-clydl-bp5mn-dj4gc-2hr4h-kp3gd-5rgp3-gdnkg-trbt2-d4txh monthly 0.5 2025-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/c918fbc1-dd8a-4402-acbc-ef8df4a3af51/Lilian+Blue+Makin.JPG Events - SUNDAY - LILLIAN BLUE MAKIN 8.45 Lillian Blue Makin is a 23-year-old, queer, alternative hip-hop and folk artist from Toronto.

But at Drom we’re flipping the script, and instead of going door to door with carols, we’re inviting you to come to us for an evening of songs celebrating life, renewal, and abundance for the year ahead. First set features the “amazing harmonies” (Eroll Nazareth, CBC Radio) of Ori Shalva, North America’s foremost Georgian polyphonic ensemble. Led by virtuoso traditional singer and multi-instrumentalist Shalva Makharashvili, Ori Shalva brings to life this UNESCO-recognized musical treasure - rarely heard outside its homeland - and transports listeners to the mountainous villages, and ancient rites of this small country at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Flipping the script even more, the second set features the genre-bending reimaginings of Georgian and Ukrainian folk polyphony through Andrea Kuzmich’s songSCAPIN’ project, which weaves tradition with jazz and raw improvisation to create an irresistible, groove-driven experience. But don’t expect to simply sit back and listen: in true folk fashion, you - the audience - will be invited to sing, clap, and become an essential celebratory force!

He generally lands somewhere between American, Irish, English, and Yiddish folk music, so I guess that puts him somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic (though he avoids shanties if at all possible). Angry songs, love songs, have-another-drink songs, don't-sleep-with-your-lord's-wife-while-he's-away songs...and, always a sucker for nostalgia, a bit of the ol' Greenwich village (though requests for Simon and Garfunkel will incur extra fees). Folk music is cool...I promise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - WEDNESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/n479jpdtg2gpzbk-dckfl-yd6dp-ryjdl-3hzw2-rjxrg-azr7t-7kt83-dh9y8-w7f7r-h7ep5-fgzet-f3shm-yx7c2-76r7h-ln87k-dcjd9-6rmad-2w34t-akh4h-jrepm-p65ry-n9ed6-k97wj-lzgbp-8wkx8-dl29h-tktpy-ytbxp monthly 0.5 2025-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/25785293-7296-46a6-8d0f-ed94d9c90383/Reverie+Taberna+%28Poster+%28US%29%29+%281%29.png Events - TUESDAY - REVERIE TABERNA 6.00 TICKETED EVENT The Dell'arte Burlesque Collective brings you a Tuesday night revue of Burlesque Dancers and Cabaret Acts, twice a month at DROM!

It was born when dear musical friends Suhashini Arulanandam (violin), Esme Allen-Creighton (viola), Sybil Shanahan (cello) and Shannon Wojewoda (double bass) spent three magical days by Pine Lake exploring how their instruments could mimic and expand upon the traditional sound world of Argentinian Tango including the bandoneon, piano and guitar. Following this tradition, each instrument is a soloist and virtuoso as well as ensemble musician. Cicada Woods also use their virtuosity to maintain the rich texture of traditional tango ensembles, arranging parts where instruments frequently carry multiple lines and harmonies. Their name was inspired by the tango ‘chicharra’ (Cicada) string technique where the bow scratches along the string windings as well as the forest setting where they made their first arrangements–four wooden instruments reborn from the gestation of classical and tango roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-rprgf-dd63g-3r2p5-xrdet-rxa6x-2kn58-bft3n-j3xl5-5rsj7-n2g5f-9zrkp-clydl-bp5mn-dj4gc-mrbca monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/ac7afbe5-a9f3-4566-9f8f-931f4dbf3ed4/petsalakis__square.jpg Events - SATURDAY - DEMETRIOS PETSALAKIS TRIO 6.00 Originally from Athens Greece, Demetri Petsalakis performs in a variety of styles with a focus on Greek and Middle Eastern lutes.

From Nubia, Sudan, to Harlem and Toronto. Their rhythms are played in what is considered “odd time” in Western music, combining jazz chord progressions with traditional African rhythms to produce an entrancing experience. Waleed tells stories atop an imaginative musical landscape, inspired by the chanting and vocal phrasing which have accompanied these rhythms since ancient times. Each composition narrates an experience or journey, continually changing depending on what story the musicians want to tell. Sometimes these experiences are personal, sometimes they are historical, sometimes they are a retelling of the past of the Nile and Nubian pyramids. Each musical journey creates a relationship between the storyteller (the band) and the audience. Waleed sings in over 15 African and Western languages, celebrating the African diaspora in Canada. As the band leader, Waleed has received numerous awards for different solo and group projects, being awarded and nominated for several Juno and Grammy awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/95994ac1-fc90-48bb-8a17-550d0327cd8a/Sattalites+new+photo.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - SATTALITES 11.30 The Sattalites are an influential Canadian reggae band and the winners of two Juno Awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/6c796126-a2c9-45b4-b5eb-4fc2b1aa0661/Woodshed+Orchestra+-+headshot.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - THE WOODSHED ORCHESTRA 2.30 The Woodshed Orchestra exists to uplift people. The Woodshed Orchestra mashes up classic dance styles from all over the world into a soulful celebration. Iconoclastic Toronto drummer Dave Clark (Rheostatics, Charles Spearin, Dinner is Ruined, Gord Downie…) created The Woodshed Orchestra with passionate, courageous and joyful friends to play the music from his original songbook. Clark leads the band “Levon Helm-style” from the drumkit, singing and sharing the lead vocal duties with members of the band. The band is a powerhouse that can improvise and turn tunes around on a dime to create unique frenzied moments that leave audiences awestruck and excited. The Woodshed Orchestra can play out as an electric band with drums, guitars, horns, keyboards and vocals and just as easily break out into a New Orleans-type 2nd Line brass band on parade. They plays with all the love that they have in their hearts every time they take the stage. It’s a beautiful thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/yj8ge23d4l3wasn monthly 0.5 2025-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/4136bce5-5859-4ea4-bdac-13af982c0406/Uncle+Old+Thyme.jpg Events - THURSDAY - UNCLE OLD THYME 6.30 Details on their way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/56a48d17-a7c6-47e4-8ea3-1c08b0c04691/Ratskin+every+2nd+thurs.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - THE RATSKIN FAMILY BAND RESIDENCY 8.00 TICKETED EVENT!

Their songs carry the grit of Southern folk, the sweep of Americana, and the reflective depth of someone who’s lived a thousand miles of road. The band is founded by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Benton Roark, whose songs have been described as “backwoods-choir elegance” (The Georgia Straight), “dirty-southern-gothic rock-country-folk” (Discorder Magazine), and “an experience of deep and darkling beauty” (The Austin Chronicle). The sound pulls from a wide range of roots: the storytelling spirit of The Band, the cinematic scope of Iron & Wine, the exploratory edge of cosmic country. These threads are woven into something distinctly their own, literary and lived-in, music that asks for your attention and gives back more the deeper you listen. Since leaving his hometown of Atlanta, GA, Roark has called Ohio, NYC, Vancouver, St. John’s, Newfoundland, and Toronto home. He’s been a bandleader for a number of groups, the last of which, Rollaway (“tone poems in the style of My Morning Jacket,” Maverick Magazine) set the scene for Mother Country’s inception. Taking up the Southern rock mantle, and weaving it with the distinct threads of old time, bluegrass, and trad folk music, as well as the visionary poetry of Maritimes poet Luke Hathaway, Mother Country set out in 2024 with its debut record, The Sign of Jonas (Milltown Records). An apocalypse folk-tale and concept album, the Jonas song cycle has been presented by English Harbour Arts, 10C Guelph, Camber Arts, Bannerman Brewing, and Halifax Central Library, and spent a number of weeks in the top ten Earshot radio charts in its first few months of existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/263568f7-db54-4013-aa71-5ec6b905bcd0/Nomada+.png Events - THURSDAY - NOMADA with Moonbean, DJs Sonic Griot, Sandwavv, Sophia Alexandra & Win 11.00 TICKETED EVENT Nomada is back, and we are excited to welcome you to our first EVER dance party at Drom!

There are almost forty different styles and ways of performing Sutartinės. The poetic texts encompass many themes, including work, calendar rituals, weddings, family, wars, history and moments of daily life. Sutartinės are performed on solemn occasions, as well as festivals, concerts and social gatherings. Their performance promotes the sharing of cultural values and provides a feeling of cultural identity, continuity and self-esteem. Sutartinės are usually sung by women. By combining these traditional elements with electronic beats, synths, and samples, Sutartonica is is pushing the boundaries of traditional music while staying true to their roots.

The idea was to bring traditional Indian music to a global audience in a way that can be presented in performance venues and environments available to us today. Gandhaar has since released multiple EPs and singles, polishing the unique sound that he discovered through this blending of distinctly different worlds. He has been performing this music as a solo performer and with a band for about a decade. Since moving to Toronto a year ago, he teamed up with tabla player and drummer Dhaivat Jani, who fit right in and was the perfect partner to play this music live with. This duo performance brings Indian classical melodies to a western urban audience, on a platter of groovy beats and lush synths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8e74cef7-c4be-4454-8332-9b73a0e8e523/Zamira+Dos+Gardenias.jpg Events - FRIDAY - DOS GARDENIAS “WOMEN IN BOLERO” BY ZAMIRA LACOSTA & ORI CHACON 8.30 TICKETED EVENT A tribute to the women who shaped bolero… and to those of us who continue to write its story.

With a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance from Humber College, Ward creates art that invites people into a shared story, believing that wonder belongs to everyone and can change everything. His work is defined by curiosity, care, and a commitment to excellence that honours both his craft and his audience. A multi-instrumentalist with a collaborative spirit, Ward has performed and recorded widely as a sideman with artists and ensembles including The West Coast Soul Collective, The Simon Williams Sextet, Ryan Van Winkle (20 EYES), and The Mumbo Jumbo Combo. He has also appeared as a substitute percussionist for Disney’s The Lion King Musical, presented by Mirvish Productions in Toronto. Ward’s primary creative outlet is his trio, a dynamic, improvisatory project rooted in storytelling, spontaneity, and musical expedition. Featuring pianist/arranger Simon Williams and bassist Josh Warren, the group blends the jazz tradition with rhythmic influences from Latin, Afro-Cuban, and New Orleans music, crafting performances that are both grounded and exploratory. His debut record, Senary, is a vivid expression of his artistic purpose. Inspired by the dynamic chemistry of the Miles Davis Quintet and the rhythmic complexity of artists such as Dafnis Prieto and Eliane Elias, the album navigates the emotional landscape of Ward’s transition from the West Coast to Toronto. Featuring a range of guest musicians, including Latin percussionist Joaquín Núñez Hidalgo and vibraphonist Kayla Hoshizaki, Senary brings together harmonic richness, improvisational depth, and rhythmic drive in service of something larger: moments of shared wonder, reflection, and joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-8npms-4h9ld-fdkec-ndh3n-xj4zj-z4ebg-nsh8d-djfp4-mrlfy-8kxch-32h6m-p2krl-4l9sz-37z5x-9f8d9-krxx8-6cjaa-kdp7n-9x8dx-gsafj monthly 0.5 2025-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/7d8fc5f4-f5ba-4032-8e98-f91f275dc5ca/QBB+NOV+9.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - QUEER BRAZILIAN BRUNCH 1.00 ADVANCE TICKETS HERE Get ready to savor some delicious Brazilian bites and celebrate the vibrant LGBTQ+ community at our special Queer Brazilian Brunch!

With two records out and a philosophy of “rock’n’rollin’ and really having fun”, bandcalledmax keeps it loose, loud, and just the right amount of reckless. Expect soaring hooks, sweaty riffs, and a commitment to having a stupidly good time—and making sure you do too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/3dp9rlj7xptklzz monthly 0.5 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3b16fca2-1f28-4e02-a712-50a7e97af48e/Truliqa.jpg Events - THURSDAY - TRULIQA 6.30 Truliqa is about true encounters.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/57f88340-9080-4429-a3b7-93bab4fe369d/LIVE+MUSIC%21.jpg Events - SUNDAY - GRAND ARABIC JAM VOL.10: SPACETOON NIGHT 7.00 TICKETED EVENT the grand arabic jam is back, with a special halloween edition… get your costumes ready for our first halloween jam - spacetoon night! join us on an adventure through time and space, across the planets of action, sports, emeralds, and history, through some of our favourite songs from the channel of the youth of tomorrow. musicians DM us at @grandarabicjam on instagram or email us at grandarabicjam@gmail.com for PWYC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/a38874ec-f327-48a1-8a32-5f7a573defd3/Petal+Loop+Poster.jpg Events - SUNDAY - PETAL LOOP 11.30 Monthly ambient jam hosted by Ray Sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-rprgf-dd63g-3r2p5-xrdet-rxa6x-2kn58-bft3n-j3xl5-5rsj7-n2g5f-9zrkp-clydl-bp5mn-rmlhn monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/d24bf068-bf58-4905-9c66-3902cb4c330d/TheWorstCaseScenario.jpg Events - SATURDAY - WORST CASE SCENARIO 6.00 Daniel Easty has been a professional musician for 30 years.

Born in November 2019, the ensemble is most notable for its distinctive instrumentation and genre-defying compositions. The ensemble consists of four woodwinds players, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bassist and drummer. The lack of a chordal instrument, such as a piano or guitar, creates a unique opportunity for the ensemble to experiment with incorporating melody, harmony and rhythm into their works.

The record features seven pieces of original music written by Thomas and members of the ensemble, and features ten of Toronto’s finest young musicians.

Not bothered by the conventions and standard limitations of the flute, her powerful musical voice steers her through everything from hip-hop to bluegrass to Bulgarian folk music, and she is the leader of prog-rock tribute band Tullstars and performance art act Hairbrain.

His blend of virtuosic fingerpicking and flatpicking has enchanted people the world over and made him a mainstay of Montreal’s vibrant folk music scene. In 2019 he released his first full length solo recording, ‘Tempered Tantrum’, to critical acclaim, including the observation from Fred Kraus at Minor7th that “Zimbel shows himself to be a shrewd observer of life […] his Shakespearean ear for couplets is as wise as the mountains, and you can feel his ache of the ages”. “Lucas Choi Zimbel’s new album, Tempered Tantrum, is a warm return to folk music’s legendary, civilly disobedient roots. The music feels wildly and cathartically familiar. The complex finger patterns, tempo changes, melodic structures, and relatable & unassuming lyrics are all impressive enough parts—which somehow pale in comparison to the substantive whole—that of Lucas’ ability to create simple, grounded, lived-in music—the kind of vibrations that make a listener feel safe inside. Safe enough to think for oneself and rise up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/6c20dd7a-4d08-4abb-9305-78f78978e6d0/Eric+St+Laurent+-+Hi+Res.jpg Events - FRIDAY - ERIC ST-LAURENT 8.00 Merle Travis calls Thelonious Monk on his iphone to ask a question about music theory.

They came together in the culturally rich atmosphere of Montreal with a common love for traditional music from around the world and a desire to explore new possibilities in acoustic sound and groove. As each of the 6 individuals learned and grew as musicians, so did the band evolve from being one that arranges traditional tunes, to being one that composes innovative original music, whilst never losing the acoustic spirit of the traditional music that inspires them. Mexican folk instruments like the Jarana, Requinto and “La Tarima” (Polyrhythm foot board for traditional rhythmic dancing) blend with microtonal melodies of the east on the violin and oud. All grounded with the earthy touch of an upright bass and an array of masterful percussion including cajon, riqq, pandero, and Kijada del Burro (donkey jaw bone). Their heavily danceable yet unusual rhythms set the stage for the two voices of the lead singers that never sing a song twice the same. To see El Balcón live is to see a band of best friends who have all lived together at different points. This familial connection comes through on stage where their love of creating and playing together shows in their fiery performances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-rprgf-dd63g-3r2p5-xrdet-rxa6x monthly 0.5 2025-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/ebc5fb58-6e14-4361-a738-9d3b95c0e172/Tich+Maredza.jpg Events - SATURDAY - TICH MAREDZA 5.30 The music of the TMB is like a warm breeze from the highland plateau; a breeze that refreshes, invigorates, inspires and delight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/bc24282e-ba9f-415e-94ca-6a01255eebe7/DebiBotos.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - DEBI BOTOS 8.00 From an early age, Debi Botos has cultivated an interest in Hungarian Gypsy music (where she was born).

Respite, hope, and uncertainty. Finding love, overcoming shame. Searching for purpose despite needing to pay rent. Such highs and lows of being a young person and coming to terms with yourself and the world around you are the focus of Bitch Stick. Bitch Stick is an alternative rock band from Toronto, Canada that blends post-punk and grunge influences with heartfelt introspection and sweet, yearning melodies.

Throughout it all, lead singer Olivia Gordon tirelessly wears her heart on her sleeve, with reflections that are endlessly relatable for anyone going through life with an open heart. Formed in 2021, Bitch Stick has released seven singles that showcase their diverse sonic palette and their introspective ambition, tackling themes of misogyny, assault, and addiction while backed by distorted guitars and spacey synths. With femininity and feminism intrinsic to their music, they bring a punk-rock ethos to a time of growing misogyny and inequality. Their debut album, Wouldn’t Miss It, will be released on July 11th, 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/596t68fa3dls5mr-f59lm-tstxe-rfe8p-c3yj7-l239n-2n7wk-sftal-jdyrp-bp5ge-8npms-4h9ld-fdkec-ndh3n-xj4zj-z4ebg-nsh8d-djfp4-mrlfy monthly 0.5 2025-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/9f6b774e-cab6-4fe3-b808-6d0932e71848/Divka+and+Honeypaw+Aug+24.jpg Events - SUNDAY - DIVKA AND HONEYPAW 2.00 TICKETED EVENT Honeypaw & DIVKA, two powerful duos rooted in folklore and sonic experimentation, join forces for an afternoon of otherworldly music.

Electro-Spaz is an etherial creature who was born ultra-sonic, having listened to all of the great symphonies and operas while still in the womb he emerged fully formed with all appendages and soon began to add new ones, such as various guitars, keyboards and percussion and a laptop computer. Each limb of consciousness has evolved into tools of free self-expression, self-flagellation, audio-visual environmental enhancements and erosions, temporary and ephemeral sonic blooms are a speciality of this earthy, spacey, fiery and long winded earthling, while being at the same time pretty Zen, who seeks to delight the ear, weave musical tapestries of golden heart strings without once resorting to middle aged white guy jazz. Electr0Spaz blends African, Indian, psychedelic eclectic fusion of influences, many and various folk musics from around the world, with dub, trip-hop, reggae, proto punk, funk, classical, Twang and Thwank, samples and various other onomatopoeia as needed and desired to produce an unique journey into the listeners microbiome via their vibratory antenna, producing a warm fuzzy feeling that can't be beat. Almost no live insects were harmed through this process.

Although she retired from rock and roll back per se when JUNO-winning indie-rock group Leslie Spit Treeo split up late last millennium, for several decades now she has been singing her soulful interpretations of vintage blues, jazz and Western swing all over the Greater Toronto Area. “I want to participate in the joy of the world, try to keep it light,” says Hubert. “Just trying to have some fun. Sing some songs. Make some music. Give some joy.” Over the years she recorded 3 solo albums with her band, led by pianist Peter Hill and featuring some of Toronto’s finest including Chris Whiteley, Brandi Disterheft, Victor Bateman, William Sperandei: “Girlish Days” (2000), “Live at the Rex” (2001) and “Half Bridled” (2004). In the years since these recordings, Hubert and her fans enjoyed residencies at venerable venues such as Grossman’s Tavern, The Cameron House and The Rex Hotel. Singing many of the same old classic songs over the years, like the finest of wine Hubert’s art has aged in the best way, her bluesy growl deeper and more powerful than ever. “One Night in Kensington” is an initiative spearheaded by Order of Canada member, singer-songwriter and long-time friend of Hubert, is the new recording fans have long been waiting for. “Hubert’s unique and soulful vocal delivery can make any old song sound brand new,” says Molly Johnson. Produced by Johnson and her Kensington Market Jazz Festival team, the new album live at Poetry Jazz Café find Hubert in the happy company of four very fine players: Eric St-Laurent on guitar, Davide DiRenzo on drums, Steve Wallace on bass and long-time musical partner Peter Hill on piano. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1beb4e51-8169-40e8-abb3-cad5bc7d66da/SS_Poster_Main_8.2.25.jpg Events - SATURDAY - SONIC SANCOCHO 11.00 TICKETED Sonic Sancocho is turning up the summer heat with soup, soul, and sazon!

The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/69bedce0-bad3-4b16-b3c2-ada22e3d55d0/Anime+Live+Chapter+4+Poster.png Events - THURSDAY - ANIME LIVE 8.00 Anime Live is a high-energy, 6-piece band that brings the vibrant world of anime to life through music.

He re­in­ter­prets and incor­po­rates blues, jump blues, hot jazz, a bit of rocka­billy, ori­gi­nal, and mo­dern songs in­to his unique yet cu­rious­ly fa­mi­liar sound. The re­sul­ting pre­sen­ta­tion is pro­vo­ca­tive and dis­tinctly reso­nant. Jazz has come to mean music that is snob­bish­ly so­phis­ti­ca­ted, bland and boring. Vis­ua­lise a bunch of musicians im­pres­sing each other, while stu­diou­sly ig­no­ring the audience. On the other hand, by original design, dixie­land, hot jazz and Tin Pan Alley engaged people and got them moving and dancing. As a con­tem­po­ra­ry artist in his twenties, Ragwax plays songs that are en­ter­tai­ning and almost a hun­dred years old. He re­vi­ves and re­news his­to­ric jazz stan­dards, proving them to be ex­ci­ting and truly time­less. While playing bars, clubs, hotels and res­tau­rants to make a living, patrons expect the usual clas­sic rock or top 40 for live en­ter­tain­ment, but Ragwax catches them off-guard and they'll dance, buy drinks, and show a per­so­nal in­ter­est be­tween sets. There is a no­stal­gia and time­less­ness to his per­for­mance that gets a crowd ex­cit­ed and en­ga­ged in a re­fresh­ing way. Ragwax en­ter­tain­ment is a rare treat, some­thing people would ty­pi­cal­ly have to go out of their way to find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/b26b9dde-321c-4d8a-aefb-c9ad58db56f9/Kristin+Lindell.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - KRISTIN LINDELL 5.00 Soulful Folk Jazz singer songwriter Kristin Lindell of the Beach area of Toronto weaves Swing, Blues and Folk seamlessly.

The identity of Korean music was formed based on the geographical features of peninsula resulting in the cultural diversity, when you walk on the open plain, you suddenly find yourself facing mountains, and when you go over the mountains, a broad expanse of sea welcomes you. That’s the beauty of peninsula (‘bando’ in Korean) and our cultural foundation has become more enriched because we are in this geographical position where we make constant communications with a vast continent as well as venture out into an unknown wide ocean. Born and raised in the Korean Peninsula, these four musicians in the Bando project present their original pieces about the geographical features of Korea in this album such as sea, river, island, rice paddy, or road. The music of the Bando project will sound foreign but familiar at the same time. Those who started from different places eventually came together and will provide listeners with the true understanding of Korean Music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/81d5cbf4-09da-4fd2-b60c-6eb2aa258dc9/Crooked+Fest+.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - CROOKED FESTIVAL FUNDRAISER 10.00 ADV $20 DM ROSIE WYSE / $25 DOOR Rosie Wyse, once a server at Drom, is now serving cunt with her 3 day music event Crooked Festival.

Nvita had a passion for music since age 5, following in the footsteps of his late father, who was a choir conductor and guitar player. He desired to pursue his love for music on an academic level. Because of his father's death, he missed the opportunity to attend music school and instead spent his adolescence studying chemistry and biology. Despite studying a different subject, music was still his passion. As he got older, his approach to music grew drastically in the way that his interest in music shifted in the direction of his heroes, such as Lokua Kanza, Luambo Makiadi, Richard Bona, Bobby McFerrin, and Al Jarreau. Nvita has a bachelor’s degree in music from Humber College, where he got the opportunity to study with many outstanding teachers in Canada. Currently pursuing his master’s degree at McGill University in sound recording. Nvita combines jazz knowledge with his African heritage through song, rhythm, and dance. He believes that “music is spiritual," a tool that helps to communicate with God and the ancestors and to reconnect with the beautiful land of Africa. Nvita's only goal in life is to bring peace between nations, put a smile on people's faces, share love, educate people through lyrics, and raise awareness. Nvita just released his debut album titled “Mosisa,” which means the roots. The album has 14 songs that showcase topics that most Africans are experiencing and educate about social norms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/2e98bd0d-1043-4c8f-9c8c-7f7b30722470/Nolan+Murphy.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - NOLAN MURPHY ORCHESTRA 2.30 The NMO is 17pc Jazz Orchestra, lead by Nolan Murphy, recreating some of the greatest hits of the golden era of North American music, by artists like Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/dnnecnk73xyxjkb-7pzgl-94dsy-zhzky-yzj7z-nnr2h-eel5g-khgre-ff7xn-gkyxx-fh97g-jc6lz-j4wzs-exyds-4xwhr monthly 0.5 2025-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/228eead0-5c97-41e6-919e-8fc03147ad8b/Luke+Vajsar+Photo+5.jpg Events - THURSDAY - LUKE VASJAR 5.30 Toronto bassist Luke Vajsar (pronounced "v-eye-sar") began playing guitar at the age of 10 and kept playing till he finally got his hands on a bass at the age of 14 to help fill in a spot for a band.

A top player on the jazz scene, he has played at most of Toronto’s jazz clubs.

The band features Harley Card on guitar, Mark Godfrey on bass, and Mack Longpre on drums. The band plays Daniel’s original hip-hop inspired tunes, and grooves, with a hard-hitting sound. They can be heard around town, most notably at 416 Snack Bar, where they play every month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/a71e00ac-3a2d-42d9-8524-0317c4d8d4be/Jerry+-+Psych+Fi%27s+session.jpg Events - SATURDAY - THE PSYCH FI’S 8.30 WHO ARE THE PSYCH FI'S? “You're traveling through another dimension – a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.” This iconic introduction is from Rod Serling’s timeless and influential television program, The Twilight Zone. Perhaps he would also apply this description to Can Con, the debut album by The Psych Fi’s. The group is an offshoot of Canadian singer-songwriter Jerry Leger's rock 'n' roll side project, The Del Fi's. Just as The Psych Fi’s describe themselves as “spontaneous psychedelic rock,” The Del Fi’s recorded two albums characterized by spontaneity, spirit, and trust. Leger brings his songs to a revolving door of musicians and singers (18 members, including Jerry, in the case of Can Con). Most of the performers have not heard these compositions before recording them. They have no chance to second-guess; they must be fearless and jump in with both feet. Recorded live in a haunted Toronto studio on a cold January 2024 day by fellow “Fi” Aaron Goldstein (Espanola, Kathleen Edwards, Daniel Romano), Can Con captures a moment in time (which is relative). Leger acts as a sort of loose conductor, allowing certain soloists to emerge from the musical collage. The group takes you on a hypnotic journey from the epic opening medley “Alone In A Room Of Mirrors/James Cagney” to the groove of “You Know That I Love You, I Do” and the openness of “Song For Vultures.” You’ll get lost in “Summer's Right Around The Corner,” which also features Don Stevenson (founding member of the legendary 60s psychedelic rock band Moby Grape) on backing vocals, alongside Kate Boothman (Katie Cruel) and Angie Hilts. This sound has evolved out of Del Fi performances, specifically when musicians Nichol Robertson, Jason Kenemy, Dave Clark (The Rheostatics, Woodshed Orchestra), and Michael Eckert were involved. Leger and these “Fi’s” eagerly ventured down less-traveled roads to destinations unknown. Other Psych Fi’s include Ken Yoshioka, Matthew Cooke, Les Armstrong, Chris Bennett, Shawn Clarke, Katie Methot, and members of “Jerry Leger & The Situation” (Dan Mock, Kyle Sullivan, Alan Zemaitis). Leger tells us at the beginning of the record, “I’m excited to live again,” and by the end of Can Con, he’s singing in his dreams and ours. This album will continue to grow, live, breathe, and expand as we share in each other’s minds. It’s a happening, and it’s happening – you can hear it throughout the grooves. Here is your mantra: “I AM A PSYCH FI.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/85e9e7c3-8a0c-46b3-aeb3-b410594ecaa2/Caliber.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - CALIBER 11.30 Caliber Funk is a 7-piece funk/R&B sensation.

Featuring Eric Montpool (vocals/guitar), Christian Strong (bass), Matt Scharfe (guitar), and Brendan Vandepol (drums), the band first emerged from the Ottawa indie scene before moving to Toronto following their debut album Poolside Fantasy and several festival appearances.

Rooted in the deep rhythms of 1970s funk, infused with the improvisatory soul of jazz, blues, and rock, we play music that reflects the struggles, hopes, and energy of our time. Our sound is both a celebration and a statement. The bass pulses with urgency, the horns call out like voices demanding to be heard, the synthesizers shimmer with visions of something greater. We play not just to entertain, but to connect—to tap into something raw and real, to offer a space where music becomes a form of sonic liberation. We create original music forged in the fire of our times, soundscapes of struggle and liberation. Funk is not just a genre—it’s resistance, it’s power, it’s freedom. If your mind is open and your soul is ready, step inside. The revolution has a rhythm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/5a5e29fb-2081-4a13-aaa2-c1de53ab9041/Blue+Hour+Drom+V1.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - BLUE HOUR FUSION QUARTET 2.30 Blue Hour, also known as the David Piluso Quartet, are an instrumental fusion band based in Toronto.

The group features David Piluso on guitar, Tristan St-Pierre on keys, Damien De Oliveira on drums, and Russell Molina on bass. Their debut album, Blue Hour, was released in the summer of 2024, marking an exciting milestone for the band. This instrumental fusion record showcases their diverse influences and was developed over two years while David and the band members pursued their studies in the Master of Arts in Music program at York University, with most of them also obtaining their bachelor's degrees there. Since its release, Blue Hour has garnered attention, receiving regular airplay on Canadian radio stations like JazzFM. At its peak, the album reached 1500 monthly listeners on Spotify and landed a spot on the first page of the Bandcamp charts for jazz and fusion. The group is preparing for more performances and anticipates releasing their second record with new bassist Russell Molina in the summer of 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/dnnecnk73xyxjkb-7pzgl-94dsy-zhzky-yzj7z-nnr2h-eel5g-khgre-ff7xn-gkyxx-fh97g monthly 0.5 2025-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/924d69e0-4687-4892-89fe-4d2e6d39c980/Freeman+Dre.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - FREEMAN DRE 6.00 Freeman Dre hails from the once gritty but quickly-gentrifying neighborhood of Parkdale. It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/30b9421e-ca5f-4cf6-8cdd-1f88550fdb08/Papalote+Poster.jpg Events - THURSDAY - PAPALOTE 8.00 Papalote is a Toronto-based Latin music group that has created a unique sound and repertoire rooted in the Cuban tradition of Son Montuno, with its seductive blend of folkloric poetry and complex rhythms: the Cha-cha-cha, Nengon and Son.

He has produced records for both himself and other artists, toured the country as a guitarist for an indie rock band, created ambient soundscapes for a number of dance works, and played more cover gigs than he can count. With no fixed genre or instrument, Alex prefers to let his entire love of music and collaboration guide his every decision to a place that feels boundless and natural. His most recent solo releases illustrate this best, blending acoustic singer-songwriter folk with twists of shoegaze, jazz, soul, and musique concrète. All this considered, he has recently decided to refresh his artistic voice with a re-introduction to simplicity. His solo performances at the moment find him channelling his work through voice and guitar alone; the instruments where he made his start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/09a7b589-4da5-4666-942f-063ca5ddef4d/Matias+Recharte.jpeg Events - MONDAY - CLASH OF DRUMS 8.30 Matias, Benny and Luis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/c15dfb99-2bf6-443c-b9b8-8514876e7683/Screenshot+2024-06-04+at+4.45.23%E2%80%AFPM.jpg Events - MONDAY - LIVE MUSIC 11.30 Details on their way https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/y65czs68393fz5y-h99yk-ykcj8-z93j8-56k77-en9al-5rslp-h94px-5jega-2g9z3-mte8p-7fndr-nsjgb-b3lr2-2fg7r-cdfds-3p3sf-tme3c-4n2t3-tjlez-glylx-cbhlf-gtd4z-cb53r-73d7c-wdxlt-rg384-bw4p7-chzg3-clw64 monthly 0.5 2025-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/efd77fec-3c7d-4cde-89ca-89e3b1cc8305/Solidaridad_Front_Colour.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - SOLIDARIDAD TANGO 2.00 Hot off their tour of Buenos Aires, Solidaridad Tango is North America’s original all-woman, diversity-affirming tango ensemble.

Steinwall’s roots in Toronto’s music scene run deep; her grandparents and parents were all active members of the local live music scene. This organically grew into a full-time career as a gigging musician for local and touring acts. Around 2017 Emily started to focus her energy more on songwriting and band leading, writing songs for her initial self-released album, titled “Welcome to the Garden”. Once described as “A Disney Princess on Acid” , this initial offering from Steinwall blends psychedelic rock, theatrical vocals and extended saxophone solos. It went on to receive the 2022 SOCAN songwriters prize. Steinwall’s sophomore album is currently in production and will be released later in 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8b826ca0-1867-4ebe-9a5c-3c27fc731e55/Huu+Bac.jpg Events - SATURDAY - HUU BAC QUINTET 8.30 Of Sino-Vietnamese origins, Montreal-based Huu Bac Quach masters a wide array of musical instruments, including the dan bau (single string Vietnamese instrument), theerhu (Chinese fiddle), the quena (Peruvian flute), and the guitar.

Drawing from klezmer, jazz, improvisation, and 70s Anatolian psychedelic rock, Kallisto thrives on spontaneity—bending traditions, blending genres, and seeing where the music takes them. It’s both deeply personal and joyfully chaotic, embracing the raw energy of rock and the playful and evocative spirit of klezmer. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and fresh—sometimes introspective, sometimes raucous, often teetering on the edge of raw and messy. Soaring melodies, intricate rhythms, and driving bass lines weave together a mosaic of influences shaped by MacInnis’s musical journey. Originally an acoustic jazz manouche trio in 2020, Kallisto has evolved into a five-piece rock-inspired band featuring clarinet, cello, drums, electric guitar, and bass. Their dynamic performances turn concerts into immersive experiences. Kallisto has performed at venues across Montréal, including Sala Rossa, Quai des Brumes, and Club Balattou, and collaborated with artists like Socalled and Zoë Aqua. They have released two EPs, Arcas (2023) and Tigris (2024), continuing to push klezmer’s boundaries while honoring its roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/f7271652-ba1e-4a2e-82da-e59801f72113/IMG_3396.jpg Events - THURSDAY - CHALLENGERS RAVE feat.

Having released 4 solo albums to critical acclaim worldwide, her 2022 self-titled release, debuted on the Canadian iTunes Top 200 RnB/Soul album chart at #5. Five tracks from that album were finalists in the John Lennon Song Writing Competition in 2022, in 4 different categories, with one winning the Grand Prize. That project of all original Alternative Soul, as well as her recent EP, ‘Scratching At the Surface’, is reminiscent of her love for RnB/Soul music, but with a more contemporary style. Influenced by artists such as Carole King, Amy Winehouse, and so many others, Avery’s created a soulful fun mix of RnB/Soul Funk and Pop, with a flavour of her Jazz, and Blues experiences.

He plays the classical violin, sings and writes folk and country songs on the acoustic guitar, experiments with the harmonica and banjo, and is experienced in multiple forms of visual arts including but not limited to film photography, oil painting and installation. Sigfried’s performance style is characterized by his baritone vocals and melancholy poetic lyrics. He incorporates multimedia aspects wherever possible, and is especially fond of mime and puppetry, and projecting his animations. He draws inspiration from classic artists like Bob Dylan, Beck, and David Bowie. Hemming brings a contrast to his performances, dressing in ccentric 1960s styles, but singing what is described as avant-garde folk and country music. Common themes of his music include homosexuality, misery, politics, and lived experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/5268ad1f-7ef9-460f-89b5-b3496d2f74eb/Indie+Mondays+WEBSITE.jpg Events - MONDAY - INDIE MONDAYS 8.00 Introducing Indie Mondays, a weekly showcase of up and coming local talent!

Love, magic, death, devotion, and no shortage of bawdy humour pervade these songs, played with authentic instruments and sung in the ancient, endangered languages of the region. From the longing of lovers to the terrors of war, from dances of courtship and revelry to exorcism ceremonies for those afflicted by the wolf spider, these are the rhythms and melodies that sustained the poor masses of southern Italy for countless generations. Travelling far beyond the well-known folk repertoire, Festa Popolare takes audiences to the depths of these traditions, some seldom performed outside of Italy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/713ab89a-0de8-4d33-a076-8910d155871f/FADO%40DROM.jpg Events - SUNDAY - NUNO CRISTO FADO AT DROM 8.30 Fado@Drom is an original project dedicated to fado performances at the Drom taberna.

Inspired by different musical traditions including Jazz, Electronic, Country Folk, and world music styles like Flamenco, Sufi, and Carnatic music, Carolina creates unique and emotional performances. She uses her love for production to create interesting sonic landscapes that support her heart-felt, rhyme-ridden lyrics inspired by Adrianne Lenker, Bon Iver, Björk, Nick Drake, Radiohead, Imogen Heap, and Arooj Aftab. The songwriting for her project often happens in solitude, but the music is brought to life by the three stellar musicians who accompany her: Samuel Laramee (electric guitar, production), Bjorn Kriel (bass), and Ambrose Veno (drums). Since their initiation into the Toronto music scene, Carolina's band has left a lasting impression on a steadily growing audience. The band's early sound is recorded on an EP released in September: "to me, you are always beautiful". The band is now in the pre-production process for a second release, this time a full-length album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/ntdcfsa46yhea9m-e3m5n-cl24p-2ndb6-6232r-ggssl-t4hnp-4shr4-l964b-w4333-xlwzh-s2dwd-yakkc-te8f5-pp7gf-hc67x monthly 0.5 2024-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/03d05c51-106f-49a2-84ac-e66b0dac7735/SwingDance.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - SWING DANCE TUESDAYS 8:00 - Late Join us every Tuesday at Drom Taberna for our swing dance nights with swing dance lessons and a live band.

From Patsy Cline to Linda Ronstadt, George Jones to George Strait, Love Hurts makes the cream of the country music songbook sound as fresh as the day it was made. Fronted by two dynamic singers, Barbara Johnston and Lowell Sostomi, and back by a cracking band who eat country licks for breakfast, Love Hurts follows no guide but a great song: if the tune makes you weep, call your momma, drink 15 beers, or cuss out your ex, you just might hear it at Love Hurts’ next gig. Long-time lovers of the genre will rejoice to hear Love Hurts’ faithful versions of old favourites, yet new ears to country will be won over by the excitement of their live shows. Dueling pedal-steel (Adrian Cook) and electric guitar (Shaun Hogan), and a down n’ dirty rhythm section that’ll make your grandma grin (Ty Rowles & Kyle Watt): Love Hurts puts on a live show that is not to be missed. So calling all members of life’s rich pageant: in country music there’s a song for each of you. And if Love Hurts is playing, you’re all invited to the dance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/b9c180c4-4af0-45ff-a4a4-5e6c5f163b3e/JoanSmithandtheJaneDoes.jpg Events - FRIDAY - JOAN SMITH & THE JANE DOES 2.30 Smith, she of “towering pipes and a remarkable dirty guitar tone” (torontomusicreviews.com), and guitarist/producer Tom Juhas from the Jane Does – a female fronted dance rock machine with cutting vocals that amp up to the edge of sanity, pulsing rock beats and relentless guitars which remind noted radio personality and music historian Jeff Woods of ‘Queens of the Stone Age and Stevie Nicks’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/e5g6ns3s2l5ryb5-nzzg3-btnrg-azjhc-hmll2-wgms7-ydgw4-7ntmr-bdzdp-fel48 monthly 0.5 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/24725efc-271b-476c-9eef-bd0e0fd9f7b5/Elise+And+Adam+Purple.jpg Events - THURSDAY - ELISE BOEUR & ADAM IREDALE-GRAY 6.30 Members of JUNO nominated, Canadian Folk Music Award winning neo-folk quintet Aerialists, Elise Boeur & Adam Iredale-Gray explore fiddle music in fluid, easy lockstep.

Until now it has served as the moniker for a bandcamp page which has sat untouched since my first year of undergrad while I pursued other creative projects and played/toured with other bands. After leaving Sundried Whales, the band in which I had played for four years and had learned about what it means to be serious about recording, touring, and writing music with friends, I took some time away from music to see if it would call me back. I returned from a lengthy period of travel loaded with songs I’d written in my travel journal and with a renewed desire to write, record, and perform but on my own artistic terms and guided by my own artistic vision. Playing solo as “saasha” shortens the distance between my experiences as a writer and as a performer and as such hopefully entails a more intimate connection between artist and audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/y65czs68393fz5y-h99yk-ykcj8-z93j8-56k77-en9al-5rslp-h94px-5jega-2g9z3-mte8p-7fndr-nsjgb-b3lr2 monthly 0.5 2024-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/daa04de5-1e5d-4cad-a2d2-db20fb5db2f0/462558841_3965579967052590_692790779611039453_n+%281%29.jpg Events - SUNDAY - QUEER BRAZILIAN BRUNCH 2.00 Come celebrate our queerness with the best of Brazilian music, food & vibes.

Bandleader Marie Goudy’s compositions feature sophisticated harmonies paired with catchy melodies that are brought to life by vocalist Jocelyn Barth’s sensitive musicality and “sensuous” vocal delivery (All About Jazz). Rounding out the sound, the instrumentalists take advantage of Goudy’s generous arrangements to stretch out and flex their technical prowess. Dynamic trumpet solos and lush vocal harmonies echo throughout Goudy's writing, influenced by her decade of experience playing mariachi music - a subtle but defining feature of Paloma Sky. Together, the quintet creates passionate jazz music that is infused with skill and charisma. Paloma Sky is a refreshing offering intended for a broad modern audience. Paloma Sky is the next evolution of Goudy and Barth's long-time musical partnership. Whereas their first offering, 2018 album The Bitter Suite, featured “haunting and introspective” (The WholeNote) originals arranged for 12tet, this project finds Goudy and Barth wholeheartedly embracing a sense of fun and vitality. The ensemble features the rhythm section of Stu Harrison on piano, Nick Arseneau on bass and Andrew Scott on drums. Paloma Sky invites listeners to lean into the music, infusing passion and positive energy into everything they do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/d6704df7-8dcd-4817-ad61-c880bb660b70/PETE+GUITAR.jpg Events - WEDNESDAY - PETE EASTMURE 11.00 The new album “Devil’s Taxi by troubadour/songwriter Pete Eastmure dropped February 17th, 2023 at The Cameron House in Toronto, and all digital platforms world-wide.

One could describe the taste on the tip of the tongue as funky, but likewise encompassing a wide range of sensations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8d283b70-9328-42e9-b43a-87be2cac8a77/Marta+Elena+-+Photo+credit+Danilo+Navas+01.jpg Events - SATURDAY - MARTA ELENA 11.30 Marta Elena, Juno winner and Excellence Award winner (Celebration of Latin Culture and Community,) was born into a musical family in Havana, Cuba.

Swirling border pipes, raging fiddle, thunderous guitar and three rich voices blend to create a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. After 24 years of touring, Cantrip has found a character like no other. Echoes can be heard of trad music from the 1960s and 70s, but the years have slowly infested their music with the sounds of funk, metal, bluegrass, swing, and even klezmer. Dan Houghton, Jon Bews, Alasdair White, and Eric McDonald stir the elements in a witches’ cauldron, slowly coalescing into chaotic order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/386aafb4-bc3f-4117-927b-8a573a586cd4/NGCamille+-+20240621+-+DONCF-102.jpg Events - WEDNESDAY - DOGHOUSE ORCHESTRA 10.00 Led by bassist and Oilers true fan Matthew Coldwell, Doghouse Orchestra is an eclectic Toronto-based ensemble that masterfully blends elements of gospel, jazz, funk, and country into a vibrant, genre-defying sound.

Born in November 2019, the ensemble is most notable for its distinctive instrumentation and genre-defying compositions. The ensemble consists of four woodwinds players, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bassist and drummer. The lack of a chordal instrument, such as a piano or guitar, creates a unique opportunity for the ensemble to experiment with incorporating melody, harmony and rhythm into their works. In February 2021, the ensemble released their debut record “10Tet”, which has been heard across the globe. The record features seven pieces of original music written by Thomas and members of the ensemble, and features ten of Toronto’s finest young musicians. As time passes, the group continues to expand their repertoire and look forward to continuing to compose and perform their innovative music for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1b0b15ba-0ca9-488b-b1f7-172afe080952/Queen+Pepper.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - QUEEN MARY 11.30 Queen Mary is the complete package; She is a vocal powerhouse, accomplished songwriter and she graces the stage with a spellbinding magnetic pull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/307efe02-1c67-4957-a15d-a13a69d9bc09/EmmettHodgins_HAMS_01.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - EMMET HODGINS COAST GROUP 2.30 The Emmett Hodgins Coast group is a quartet that explores the bridges between jazz music and alternative genres.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/942d5907-9cca-418f-a848-cfa3d6bdeb2c/Nii+Osabu.jpg Events - SATURDAY - NII OSABU 8.30 Nii Osabu (also known as Richmond Nii Teiko Osabu) is a Ghanaian highlife and African traditional musician, songwriter & music producer.

You can hear his love for nature pouring out through his music. Inspired by the starry night, old trees, moss-covered canyons and the way water sings. As soon as he could, he left home, with a backpack and an adventurous spirit to New Zealand. It was there where he got his first guitar. He had helped a friend build a fence in trade for an old dusty 5 string Yamaha. It wasn’t before long he fixed the broken string and wrote a collection of unique folk songs. Like flowers blooming overnight a dream was born. Gareth has travelled the world with his music, on a wing and a prayer. Playing all kinds of venues along the way. From street corners to stages, pubs, cafes, dive bars, outdoor festivals, house concerts, even on mountaintops! He returned to Canada in 2017 & continued performing, with the intention of finally recording some of his songs. In less than a week, in a small cabin below cedars by the sea, Gareth recorded his first full-length album titled “ The Immeasurable Blue ”. Its raw, original and as real as it gets. He released the album independently and hit the road, touring through Alberta and B.C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3af7089b-b752-4092-806e-a90e23b54ada/JoanneMorraLocation_103+WEB.jpg Events - THURSDAY - JOANNE MORRA 8.00 Joanne Morra began her artistic career in the visual arts, but the bilingual singer songwriter’s powerful voice refused to play second fiddle for long.

In 2017 Joanne released her debut album ""Alouette"", a deeply personal collection of bilingual classics ranging from Québécois rock to jazz standards, blues and original compositions. In August of 2019, she was an artist in residence at ""Les rencontres qui chantent"" (ANIM) in Petite-Vallée, Gaspésie, home to the world renowned ""Festival en chanson"".

Maybe you never called someone back and you want to say sorry and try again. You don't need to identify as queer to participate!

Based out of Toronto Canada, they are two experienced musicians who have been collaborating for the past year and are currently recording their debut E.P. with Canadian producer Ron Lopata (Jesse Labelle, Jully Black, Lindy Ortega). Born and raised in Waterford Ireland, Kayleigh is a soulful folk singer with a uniquely creative approach to the guitar. Chris is a Canadian touring and session musician who has shared the stage and studio with some of Canada’s biggest musical acts.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts.

They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/a0411f53-4a37-4e82-a2ef-19e14a7a0f44/Robert+Lee.jpg Events - WEDNESDAY - ROBERT LEE BRAZILIAN PROJECT 8.30 A performance of classic Brazilian tunes with a jazz twist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/cc5546d8-c42f-412f-ba4f-391ae6a260e1/Sebastian+Brown.png Events - WEDNESDAY - SEBASTIAN BROWN 11.00 @MuscularBusker Musician from East York ON https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - WEDNESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/ntdcfsa46yhea9m-e3m5n-cl24p-2ndb6-6232r-ggssl monthly 0.5 2024-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/2264a3ca-d3ab-4e6b-b0d8-eba8fa2ed756/down+and+out.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - DOWN AND OUT 7.00 The Down and Out are a high energy roots rock quartet committed to bringing a rollicking good time with classic styles ranging from rockabilly, swing and classic blues to country, rock and reggae fired with bass guitar and tenor sax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/03d05c51-106f-49a2-84ac-e66b0dac7735/SwingDance.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - SWING DANCE TUESDAYS 8:00 - Late Join us every Tuesday at Drom Taberna for our swing dance nights with swing dance lessons and a live band.

The Disaster Pony ethos is anchored in the electronic music of artists such as Amon Tobin, Bonobo and The Herbalist: artists known for combining hip-hip, downtempo, and jazz samples. Instead of sampling other artists, Adam Hindle (formerly of Born Ruffians), Ian Docherty (July Talk), Hyland, and a roster of other musicians performed their own grooves and improvisations using tracks by the likes of Amon Tobin, Madlib, MF Doom, and Beastie Boys as jumping off points. The recordings were then disassembled and reassembled, resulting in music that is groove-focused, tape drenched, saxophone friendly, and - above all - beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/e5g6ns3s2l5ryb5-nzzg3-btnrg monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8d088d79-df1e-49cf-af48-9f4cb31ff61c/Justin+Duhaime.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - JUSTIN DUHAIME & NATHAN HILTZ 5.30 Justin Duhaime is a passionate guitarist, composer, teacher, and storyteller with a deep commitment to music.

Shortly after completing her degree in jazz performance at Carleton University she released a debut full-length titled, Moments. It was met with modest acclaim but more importantly it introduced her to some heavy hitters in the scene like Guido Basso, Robi Botos and Terry Clarke. It was apparent Cynthia could hold her own as a skilled pianist and soulful vocalist. A new talent had arrived. Fast forward a couple years and a few hundred gigs later, including a stint in the stage production of Mama Mia, Cynthia was looking for some new and untapped avenues to explore. She sparked a friendship with Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene fame in 2022 which set in motion the idea to write songs together. This would prove to be a fruitful partnership and the two started scheming for the future. In the coming months you will hear new music from her new band TAURO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/5268ad1f-7ef9-460f-89b5-b3496d2f74eb/Indie+Mondays+WEBSITE.jpg Events - MONDAY - INDIE MONDAYS 8.00 Introducing Indie Mondays, a weekly showcase of up and coming local talent!

You’ll be smiling and dancing too, until you realize that you are celebrating death and taxes. You may then need to procure yourself another stiff drink and hey, why not one for the fellah on stage? He’ll take a double. In a career that hasn’t stopped its upward trajectory since 2010, Zimbel has done it all: international tours, festivals, bars, concert halls, composing, arranging, producing, film scoring and a Tupperware party. His blend of virtuosic fingerpicking and flatpicking has enchanted people the world over and made him a mainstay of Montreal’s vibrant folk music scene. In 2019 he released his first full length solo recording, ‘Tempered Tantrum’, to critical acclaim, including the observation from Fred Kraus at Minor7th that “Zimbel shows himself to be a shrewd observer of life […] his Shakespearean ear for couplets is as wise as the mountains, and you can feel his ache of the ages”. “Lucas Choi Zimbel’s new album, Tempered Tantrum, is a warm return to folk music’s legendary, civilly disobedient roots. The music feels wildly and cathartically familiar. The complex finger patterns, tempo changes, melodic structures, and relatable &amp; unassuming lyrics are all impressive enough parts—which somehow pale in comparison to the substantive whole—that of Lucas’ ability to create simple, grounded, lived-in music—the kind of vibrations that make a listener feel safe inside.

The energy of this indie band is undeniable on stage and on record; an original twist on Americana, made by a melting pot of gentlemen from Toronto, Canada. “Let it burn. It’s the ashes that I admire.” A taunt from the title track of The Honeyrunners' debut album, Everything Is On Fire, released on Canadian roots label Gypsy Soul Records, with a fire that sparked airplay on 150+ radio stations across Canada, US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, and beyond. The band’s prior body of work aimed at disrobing a culture of apathy – a sentiment that everything is always on fire with nothing to do but watch. The Honeyrunners are fronted by Ottawa-born singer/songwriter Dan Dwoskin (keys, lead vocals) and Canadian-Peruvian audio-engineer/producer, Guillermo Subauste (bass, vocals). Newer additions to the lineup include Conor Gains (electric guitar, vocals), Jeremiah Pick (electric guitar, vocals), and Dan Leigh McLean (drums, vocals). The Honeyrunners have been lucky to share a decade's worth of stages with friends and mentors including The Sadies, Jim Cuddy, Fred Penner, The Trews, The Beaches, Monowhales, U.S.S., Five Alarm Funk, My Son The Hurricane, Skye Wallace, Samantha Martin, Philip Sayce, Nick Waterhouse, King Khan, and many more over the years. The boys are back in studio with a raw batch of tunes that will cut through the noise of 2024 like a hot knife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/03d05c51-106f-49a2-84ac-e66b0dac7735/SwingDance.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - SWING DANCE TUESDAYS 8:00 - Late Join us every Tuesday at Drom Taberna for our swing dance nights with swing dance lessons and a live band.

We came up with several answers: It’s expensive. You have to dress up. It’s snobby. You can’t drink, except during intermission. You can’t talk. It’s snobby. You can’t get up and move around. And it’s snobby. So, that’s what we have set out to change. Opera Revue is a great way to introduce opera to people who have never seen it before, as well as a new way for opera lovers to enjoy it. We perform opera, opera parodies and even a bit of musical theatre in casual bar settings, where our audiences can feel comfortable to talk, drink, and to share the experience with those around them, without breaking the bank to afford a ticket! We aim to take away the exclusive nature of opera, and make it accessible for all audiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3cabba92-1e06-48ab-8cad-8f8dbb5b6596/sonic+Sancocho.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - SONIC SANCOCHO 11.00 - 4.00 4AM last call!

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3b150ddb-ff36-460b-9078-37b3972d8afc/Screenshot+2024-06-04+at+4.45.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Events - THURSDAY - NOLAN MURPHY’S BIG BAND 8.00 Details on their way https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8fe550ab-3721-4f60-b3c7-7ef83e6e019c/4852894B-C0ED-4997-AB77-0B05CC757262+-+juan+david+Ariza.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - SHOU 11.00 $10 at the door or PWYC SURPRISE ‘SHOU’ PRESENTS AN EVENING OF DEEP-SOUND EXPLORATIONS WITH LOCAL TALENT COME LISTEN TO DOWNTEMPO, PROGROCK, EXPERIMENTAL REGGAETON, GLITCH-HOP, JUNGLE + MORE THIS IS A PWYC/$10 SUGGEST ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY BACK TO EACH ARTIST LINE UP CONSISTS OF SERG (LIVE) ROBERTO (LIVE) JUANITO (LIVE) LUVBUG (DJ) HOSTED BY ESCOBUTT COME IMMERSE YOURSELF & FEEL YOUR BRAINS OUT LOVE YOU https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/88a3441e-fee1-4162-8300-de3b900e8087/Ears+Gang.jpg Events - THURSDAY - EARSGANG 2.30 Earsgang plays all their music by ear.

Love, magic, death, devotion, and no shortage of bawdy humour pervade these songs, played with authentic instruments and sung in the ancient, endangered languages of the region. From the longing of lovers to the terrors of war, from dances of courtship and revelry to exorcism ceremonies for those afflicted by the wolf spider, these are the rhythms and melodies that sustained the poor masses of southern Italy for countless generations. Travelling far beyond the well-known folk repertoire, Festa Popolare takes audiences to the depths of these traditions, some seldom performed outside of Italy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/7760fc50-7eeb-42a7-b891-14eb988bf24e/Screenshot+2024-06-04+at+4.45.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Events - FRIDAY - LIVE MUSIC 8.00 Details on their way https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/830a00d3-d192-4f95-b376-ad8a1a8a58a0/Sattalites.JPG Events - FRIDAY - SATTALITES 11.30 The Sattalites are an influential Canadian reggae band and the winners of two Juno Awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/d4c28aa0-3f1a-44e2-a45f-056aedf3ae30/Screenshot+2024-06-04+at+4.45.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Events - FRIDAY - LIVE MUSIC 2.30 Details on their way https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/42pncyns4rhnsxb-8jb5f-zj4b8-r6f4y-bffte-gnbay-mkdly-4ds24-bcye9-ckwhr-4mzjb-lnc2m-rer2g-nfeke-2jcsp-psn2h-3587n-a8bkb-jxhsk-ammzy-gwnhx-xbxrk-5nged-f7tl9 monthly 0.5 2024-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/4f276595-501b-4a74-aaa5-1ac1155d8713/BonDebarras-Reperes-HR-Credit_Vitor_Munhoz-23160X1080.jpg Events - THURSDAY - BON DEBARRAS (FROM MONTREAL) 6.00 TICKETS Bon Débarras unites the worlds of music, dance and poetry through a collaboration between Montreal artists Dominic Desrochers, Jean-François Dumas and Véronique Plasse. Over the years, Bon Débarras moved boldly into an entirely original repertoire steeped in poetry and rhythmic sounds, with unambiguous Quebec flavors. On guitar, banjo, violin and harmonica, the group carries an identity, a style and an energy-filled zest for life quite unique and beautifully served by the versatility of the musicians as well as their daring jigging and vivid body percussion. Bon Débarras’ energy taps into the rhythms of today and ventures boldly on the multi-faceted road to tomorrow’s dreams, in an atmosphere that transcends boundaries and ages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/ddda3730-94c7-4a4e-8bd0-aeda2755650d/Kalya_La+Cubana_Large-42+%281%29.jpg Events - THURSDAY - KALYA RAMU 8:15 Canadian Jazz vocalist and Visual Artist Kalya Ramu is making a name for herself in Toronto’s Jazz community.

Their new self-titled album, Creekbed Carter, is both creed and archive, formed from the eccentric preoccupations of a messy Catholic childhood that have been crafted into a dazzling, troubling, and ultimately wondrous collection of songwriting. Familiar spirits haunt these songs – Roger Miller, Bobbie Gentry, Elliott Smith, Karen Dalton – but ultimately, Hogan’s music emanates from the force of their own desires. Clever, searing, bald, and true, Creekbed Carter is, above all, an act of resilience: a flaming sword that both creator and listener can use to cut their way out and through, together. https://creekbedcarter.com Jude Brothers is an Arkansas forged and New Mexico molded folksy leaning singer songwriter with a penchant for whimsy and tender heartedness. Brothers’ distinct writing style is marked by congenial contrasts: passionate & playful, calculated & relaxed, approachable & quirky. Their lyrics communicate a simultaneous existential dread and intoxicating thrill of living and loving, a practice in raw and shameless vulnerability shared through song. All of this is transmitted through nimble vocal frolicking- a shapeshifter voice crawling, leaping, pirouetting over a landscape of folk harp, guitar, and tenor banjo. https://judebrothersmusic.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/57e92042-01f6-420b-908b-c077cf1637a4/LIVE+MUSIC%21.png Events - THURSDAY - BK & THE SHOP 8.00 Dinner time tunes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/269fd03b-d4c2-4717-988b-57b5362d0b47/437210096_784078610345674_8590724933152559005_n+-+Meskidei+Silica.jpg Events - THURSDAY - HAG RADIO 11.00 HAG Radio is a night of all-drag live music produced by Max Malada.

Their adolescent blend of curiosity and cheek holds true since 2015, still driving them to dive into unmapped sonic territory, leaving no inspiration untapped and with the chops to pull it off. Stu Mein’s drumming and Cameron Fraser’s bassing are the broth that binds Luge’s infinite spice-blend, locking into gridded topography throwing heavy, complex grooves straight at your head. Tobias Hart’s fizzing guitar freaks over the dance virus in a treble-drenched click-matrix that occasionally breaks into lucidity only long enough to bring you the riffs you need and the lines to lead. Finally, in this chaos, Kaiva Gotham arrives just in time to tame those discordant rhythms that threaten to doppler into nothing. Gotham brings hooks that rip flesh. Her voice and synth both hold the key to Luge’s puzzle box, pray she allow you a glimpse of its answer. Glimpse it loud if you can. Their fifth studio release, I Love it Here, I Live Here, is available now on all major streaming platforms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/jpk5rmrhg3app77-rpma7-727an-6lx4n-dh5fb-2flbs-wczlp-sty3h-tgyky-aa9sm-cjnfe-bxbym-s8gc2-fze8p-ah558-7dndk-hxhcw-xb629-djl5p-6l7ax-2sdk5-xlym7-j4j8p-cchgm-nxpp7-c6sh5-pnf9f-62fk4-4sjhw-wmyjb monthly 0.5 2024-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/57b6407b-fa89-4ead-a66c-2a9d6442725f/SpencerMackenzie+and+Miles.png Events - FRIDAY - SPENCER MACKENZIE DUO 6.00 With his fluid phrasing, resonant tone, and expressive performances, one could believe Spencer Mackenzie was born on Beale Street.

She began playing Royal Conservatory piano at the age of 7 and received her level 9 certificate. It wouldn't be until she turned 18 that she would pick up the guitar and begin writing immediately. She incorporates classical elements with a raw unhinged approach towards her music. This dynamic combination creates an often uncomfortable atmosphere, in which beauty and ugliness take hold of each other, depicting the untraversed crevices of the psyche. In this same vein, Rosie takes to acting with a curiosity for the unfamiliar. After training for many years under the Cindy Tanas Actors Studio, she took it upon herself to create roles of her own, the first of which would be Ted.

DRAW & THE STRANGE PARADE 8.00 Tickets are 20$ +HST and available online. There are very few names that can promise you won’t leave their gravitational pull without undergoing some kind of transformative emotional experience, and one of those names is Dr. Draw. Eugene Draw aka Dr. Draw moved to Canada with his family in 1992, and learned his craft busking on the streets of Toronto where he earned his stage moniker as a healer of the spirit. Impossible to ignore, Dr. Draw was often solely responsible for bringing the people he encountered out of their somber mood and into a sunny one. Dr. Draw has had a significant presence in the Toronto cultural scene for over 27 years. Rising from humble beginnings as a busker, he made history as the first violinist to bridge the gap between rock, classical, and electronic music cultures. Starting as a Canadian heartthrob in the late 2000s, his ambitions and audience have since transcended the borders of his youth, propelling Dr. Draw to renewed success in recent years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/57e92042-01f6-420b-908b-c077cf1637a4/LIVE+MUSIC%21.png Events - SUNDAY - LIVE MUSIC 11.00 Details on their way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/xnwab7pfr578mx7-mzxbe-fpgen-ptwf4-366zl-7k49r-7mabw-xmb9h-s2kf7-3bx8n-wtxbz-36ppn-hrxnf-9cl2y-3z8ah-x384a-pwcay monthly 0.5 2024-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8e8c347f-c69f-4a52-a0f6-da682f547913/Tak+Arikushi+1.jpg Events - THURSDAY - TAK ARIKUSHI QUINTET 7.00 Tak Arikushi is a Gypsy-jazz guitarist based in Toronto.

He is a member of Pasqua First Nation Band no. 79 in Treaty 4 Territory, Saskatchewan, Canada and he now lives in Hamilton, Ontario with his lovely wife Anne Goodbody. Robert enjoys spending time with his glamorous daughter, Tamar Ilana Cohen Adams, and his dynamic son-in-law, Ali Wasti; smoking cigars; and visiting with his many friends and family. Robert wrote this collection over the course of 20 years, finalizing it while living with Parkinson’s Disease in his early 70s. When he was 21, Robert had a vision of a holographic lion which led him down a lifelong spiritual path, canoeing solo down the Yukon River, studying Master Subramunya’s teachings, and traveling halfway across the country to enroll at Concordia University. He became a member of I.A.T.S.E Local 667 over 35 years ago and in 1997 he directed a documentary called “Urban Elder” for the National Film Board of Canada. Currently, he is working on a documentary entitled “Looking for God on the #2 Barton Street Bus”. Catch Robert at his favourite spot in Toronto, DROM Taberna, or in Hamilton, The Brain Pub, for a great conversation.

Established in 2022, Love Hurts has been breathing new life into bonafide country classics and forgotten gems, pinning heart wrenching 50s balladry alongside 70s outlaw swagger, and 90s honky-tonk revival with swooning 60s countrypolitan. From Patsy Cline to Linda Ronstadt, George Jones to George Strait, Love Hurts makes the cream of the country music songbook sound as fresh as the day it was made. Fronted by two dynamic singers, Barbara Johnston and Lowell Sostomi, and back by a cracking band who eat country licks for breakfast, Love Hurts follows no guide but a great song: if the tune makes you weep, call your momma, drink 15 beers, or cuss out your ex, you just might hear it at Love Hurts’ next gig. Long-time lovers of the genre will rejoice to hear Love Hurts’ faithful versions of old favourites, yet new ears to country will be won over by the excitement of their live shows. Dueling pedal-steel (Adrian Cook) and electric guitar (Shaun Hogan), and a down n’ dirty rhythm section that’ll make your grandma grin (Ty Rowles & Kyle Watt): Love Hurts puts on a live show that is not to be missed. So calling all members of life’s rich pageant: in country music there’s a song for each of you. And if Love Hurts is playing, you’re all invited to the dance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/23a53378-2e68-4f9d-99c6-0fe920a559e8/Stompin_Tree_CREDIT_OLIVIER_LEBLANC.jpg Events - FRIDAY - STOMPIN’ TREES 2.30 From the troubled mind of a mad man comes a melody. Through the whiskey-soaked vocal chords comes a sound. Slide to steel to seal the deal. From the streets of Vancouver to the alleys of Montréal.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/c1f0d4eb-1e8f-4c14-a5cd-1ca6af152f5f/SEXTETE_Mar22.png Events - FRIDAY - SEXTÊTE 8.30 SEXTÊTE is a group of six sexy friends who like to play music together.... a sextet if you will :D We are a queer/WOC-led group aiming to create spaces where girls, gays and marginalized artists can TAKE UP SPACE!

As veterans of the Canadian music scene these two musicians breathe a fresh approach into the art of collective improvisation. They build on a tradition established by such jazz luminaries as Jim Hall, Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Scott Lafaro, Dave Holland, and many more. With this as a starting point they create a sound and style "of their own" by playing music that is positively influenced by a variety of genres. The instrumental blend of electric guitar and double bass form a pallet of tonal possibilities that extend beyond the reach of the average jazz ensemble. Their sound travels along a wide spectrum ranging from impossibly quiet and gentle to aggressively intense. These two musicians keep a constant focus on re-creating the music, not just playing the music the "way it was played before". This is evident in their live presentation. In so doing James and Mike bring an exciting and diverse presentation that is enjoyed by all who hear them live. Guitarist, composer and educator James Brown has been a long time staple on the Canadian jazz scene. James’ most recent recording Song Within the Story was released in 2022 (NGP Records) and features guest tenor sax giant Mike Murley. Marrying his extensive background in classical performing and composing with jazz, James has created a unique musical space for himself. Double bassist, educator and sound engineer Mike Milligan (nominated as Jazz Bassist of the Year at the 2008 National Jazz Awards) is a fixture on the Canadian jazz scene and has been since the mid eighties. He has performed with internationally recognized musicians such as David Liebman, Chet Baker, Joshua Redman to name a few. As a sideman and leader, Mike has toured extensively worldwide. His solo bass CD Solo Flights, has been well received by jazz fans and critics alike. Along with James Brown, Mike released a duo album entitled Six Plus Four in 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - WEDNESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/42pncyns4rhnsxb-8jb5f-zj4b8-r6f4y-bffte-gnbay-mkdly-4ds24-bcye9-ckwhr-4mzjb monthly 0.5 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3ad127df-f029-4284-b412-5b5841c85f1c/image1.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - ALLYSON MORRIS TRIO 5.30 TICKETS Recently, Allyson has been on the road singing and collaborating with musicians both in Canada and Europe.

Rounding out the sound, the instrumentalists take advantage of Goudy’s generous arrangements to stretch out and flex their technical prowess. Dynamic trumpet solos and lush vocal harmonies echo throughout Goudy's writing, influenced by her decade of experience playing mariachi music - a subtle but defining feature of Paloma Sky. Together, the quintet creates passionate jazz music that is infused with skill and charisma. Paloma Sky is a refreshing offering intended for a broad modern audience. Paloma Sky is the next evolution of Goudy and Barth's long-time musical partnership. Whereas their first offering, 2018 album The Bitter Suite, featured “haunting and introspective” (The WholeNote) originals arranged for 12tet, this project finds Goudy and Barth wholeheartedly embracing a sense of fun and vitality. The ensemble features the rhythm section of Stu Harrison on piano, Nick Arseneau on bass and Andrew Scott on drums. Paloma Sky invites listeners to lean into the music, infusing passion and positive energy into everything they do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/9fdc877a-02d3-4868-a9eb-5f831ef77960/IMG_3784+-+idizxbalisi.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - GUILTY AS CHARGED 11.00 Indulge in a night of empowerment and entertainment at "Guilty as Charged" – a spectacular celebration to kick off International Womxn’sen's Month!

His music’s been played on radio stations around the globe, and he’s performed live all over North America and Europe. These days, a car and a guitar keeps him light and fancy free - THUNDERCLAP is a man alone and a band that can't break up! He believes that the intimate dynamics of the voice can be lost in band situations and the bravery needed to take a stage alone heightens the vulnerability of the performer, creating a deeper emotional rapport with the audience. THUNDERCLAP performs on the streets regularly, titillating audiences with his unique style as a "guerilla folk poet”. THUNDERCLAP’s performance style was honed as a practicing method actor. His approach is honesty without a preconceived outcome, a pinch of poetic justice, a grand gesture or two and voila! One hell of a strange, operatic minstrel that will leave you scratching your head and tapping your toes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - WEDNESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/42pncyns4rhnsxb-8jb5f-zj4b8-r6f4y-bffte-gnbay-mkdly-4ds24-bcye9 monthly 0.5 2024-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - TUESDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/275ead82-729c-4010-a819-a7a34055748b/IMG_6871.jpg Events - TUESDAY - SAM BROVERMAN & LAURA HUBERT QUARTET 5.30 TICKETS Popular Toronto-based jazz crooner and songwriter Sam Broverman and local legend Laura Hubert team up for an evening of classic standards, joined by cherished sidemen Peter Hill on piano and Chris Gale on saxophone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/03d05c51-106f-49a2-84ac-e66b0dac7735/SwingDance.jpeg Events - TUESDAY - SWING DANCE TUESDAYS 8:00 - Late Join us every Tuesday at Drom Taberna for our swing dance nights with swing dance lessons and a live band.

For some reason from one year to the next one it is so stressful for restaurant workers because we never know who and what to expect. And like we get it - it is this one time of the year when you feel obligated to take your partner out, even though realistically you should never need a reason to take your boo (boos) out, if you wanna spoil someone and can afford, just go and fucking do it. But it is also would be silly of us not to do something special for that day, so we want to make something in the spirit of Drom - by having everyone included. The first seating will be at 6 pm and it will be for couples, Viper’s Cloud will hit the stage with an outrageously romantic French Gypsy Jazz music, while we will be serving you some yum yum stuff that Chef Mike put together just for that day and some fun wines we all very specially picked. The second seating is a slightly different and a more robust story: same menu, same wine specials, but we are welcoming EVERYONE: couples, solo people that at the moment only want to share their love with themselves, people, who are in polyamorous relationships, queers, non-queers (but also let’s be honest we are all a little bit gay). Lady Son, a majestic Cuban woman with her band will start off the night with the first set of a more sit down dinner music and then once you are all done with consumption, we will get rid of a bunch of tables for dance, dance, dance reasons, you are more than welcome to stick around, you are more than welcome to come just for the dance part as well (going to be around 10:30pm). Come in a bit earlier so you still have time for your heart shaped praline chocolates consumed in bathtub filled with sparkling wine (please don’t, its sticky and a waste of wine), and then end up in bed all decorated with roses (also really not necessary anymore, we should let flowers to live). Or come in later and spend the night with us, eat the food, make sure you burnt enough energy and got good mood and good energy pumping through your veins so and go home and make LOVE or just walk around and hold hands that’s also super cool.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/bfd8ff37-9ec4-4990-a4d8-1ac3fdfbd134/image0.jpeg Events - MONDAY - LAMOUREUX/CROTTY 11.00 Improvised music for violin, cello, and pedalboards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/3psrlcnjlkxbw92-zrpm8-j2txn-cgym7-yxy24-yg59w-z9fw4-lgn3b-bt9j4-7elnr-z6pej-fzjlp-3ml34-bfjxs-aramk-lcbfs-425md monthly 0.5 2024-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/22eb9899-9548-4f6e-b292-7342588e18ef/Shahriyar+Jamshidi+with+Kamanche%2C+Photo_Credit%2C+Victoria+J.+Polsoni%2C+Lead+Picture+%281%29.JPG Events - SUNDAY - SHAHRIYAH JAMSHIDI 6.00 A Kurdish-Canadian kamānche player, composer, and vocalist Shahriyar Jamshidi with a pronounced cultural background has devoted his artistic profession to the preservation and transmission of the Kurdish musical heritage. He is also well-known for his creative and masterful kamānche improvisations, both as a soloist and in ensembles. Since settling in Canada in 2012, Shahriyar has consistently sought new musical languages, thereby crossing cultures with his Kamānche recitals. He already performed at the University of Minneapolis School of Music; Amsterdam Cello Biennial; Festival du Monde Arabe de Montréal; Canadian Opera Company; Aga Khan Musuem concert series; University of Glasgow; and Windsor Symphony Orchestra. Shahriyar’s recently released album “My Sunset-Land ROJAVA” is dedicated to all WOMEN who joined the story of resistance fighters to defend Rojava (northern Kurdistan in Syria) and lost their lives - all revenues from this project is going to support Yazidi women who suffer from the war.

Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral. It hopes to re-awaken motivic polyphonic chamber music as a popular music, suitable for street corners, engendering shouts instead of polite applause, and addressing themes relevant to this moment, including but not limited to communities organizing to resist cultural hegemony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/921dd55c-31cf-45f2-b60a-a40fa19a18a4/Untitled_Artwork+%281%29.jpg Events - SUNDAY - PETAL LOOP 11.00 A weekly ambient jam.

While a modern and contemporary group, the music composed and performed by the group is rooted in the jazz tradition. The group has performed across the city in a variety of venues, and has been a featured ensemble in the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Toronto TU Jazz Festival. Born in November 2019, the ensemble is most notable for its distinctive instrumentation and genre-defying compositions. The ensemble consists of four woodwinds players, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bassist and drummer. The lack of a chordal instrument, such as a piano or guitar, creates a unique opportunity for the ensemble to experiment with incorporating melody, harmony and rhythm into their works. In February 2021, the ensemble released their debut record “10Tet”, which has been heard across the globe. The record features seven pieces of original music written by Thomas and members of the ensemble, and features ten of Toronto’s finest young musicians. As time passes, the group continues to expand their repertoire and look forward to continuing to compose and perform their innovative music for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/76a407a2-b28d-4b84-9a1f-2a2cd71d2ad8/Sattalites.JPG Events - FRIDAY - THE SATTALITES 11.30 The Sattalites are an influential Canadian reggae band and the winners of two Juno Awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/2e32a270-7db3-4e82-ad49-823a2e7c6873/Roshane+Wright+2.jpg Events - FRIDAY - ROSHANE & THE GOOD VIBES 2.30 Roshane and the good vibes is a band compromised of toronto's greatest upcoming talents.

His father was a choir conductor and guitarist, but when his father died, he didn’t get the chance to go to music school to pursue his goal. He studied chemistry and biology because he didn’t have a choice. Even though he was studying another subject in school, music was still his passion. In 2014, Jonathan moved with his family to Canada. When he first arrived in Canada, he studied music at Humber College (vocal major) and continued to pursue his dream of singing and writing. With the multicultural band, Jonathan incorporates jazz knowledge and his African heritage through songs, rhythm, and dance. He believes that music is spiritual, a tool that helps to communicate with the ancestors, God, and to reconnect with that beautiful land of Africa. He and the band have recently been working on his first album and can't wait to release it.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/6e3aae87-01aa-4516-8cfb-bdfdf534a17b/NastasiaY.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - NASTASIA Y 8.30 Born in Ukraine, Nastasia Y [nas-TA-s’yah] is a multi-lingual singer & keyboardist who seamlessly blends folk tradition with a futuristic vision. Her music is inspired by the vibrant city of Toronto, Canada, which she now calls home: fusing funk, R&B, electro, and jazz with Slavic folk music. Her music is rooted in the ancestral grief and wisdom of her past while embracing a modern inter-connected future. Raised on her late father’s Ukrainian resistance songs, her journey took her to Canada, where she earned a jazz piano degree, originally releasing English-language music (as Stacey Y), evolving into championing her native culture through projects like DoVira and BLISK. Today, as Nastasia Y, her music reflects these diverse influences, and features top Canadian musicians in her band. She also actively advocates for her country, using her music as the vehicle for her activism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/2f44c86e-b139-45c7-bea4-f2f2d73a1591/JuniorDias.JPG Events - FRIDAY - JUNIOR DIAS 11.30 Born on March 4, 1989, in Espírito Santo, Brazil, Junior Dias started playing the accordion at 10, influenced by his father and friends.

While a modern and contemporary group, the music composed and performed by the group is rooted in the jazz tradition. The group has performed across the city in a variety of venues, and has been a featured ensemble in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Toronto TU Jazz Festival. Born in November 2019, the ensemble is most notable for its distinctive instrumentation and genre-defying compositions. The ensemble consists of four woodwinds players, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bassist and drummer. The lack of a chordal instrument, such as a piano or guitar, creates a unique opportunity for the ensemble to experiment with incorporating melody, harmony and rhythm into their works.In February 2021, the ensemble released their debut record “10Tet”, which has been heard across the globe. The record features seven pieces of original music written by Thomas and members of the ensemble, and features ten of Toronto’s finest young musicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/921dd55c-31cf-45f2-b60a-a40fa19a18a4/Untitled_Artwork+%281%29.jpg Events - SUNDAY - PETAL LOOP 11.00 Weekly ambient jam.

And yet, he's been around for over 18 years... He's been around. Originally from Stony Plain, Alberta, Rivest justifiably calls Kelowna, British Columbia, home. (Ah, but he was born on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario.) He released his first LP in Calgary, Alberta, after travelling and performing around Australia for most of 2005; he had lived in Calgary for a few years up to that point. His next release was an EP made while living in New Zealand for seven years; most of 2011 was spent in Buenos Aires, Argentina; his next EP—and various singles after that—were produced in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, where he's been based since 2013. No wonder you haven't heard of him—he hasn't been around.

Taylor is also a Canadian Idol & Mariposa showcase finalist, accomplished TV voice actor, and collaborator with emerging & platinum-selling talent for music in feature films & TV. Out of love for Taylor’s songwriting, Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, etc), insisted on co-producing his acclaimed debut studio album.

They are very loud and very exciting playing lots of high energy music, with lots of odd meters and even microtonal tunings. The band started as an excuse for Zachary Dawson to get people together to play fusion music and music that he has written but also to impose his love of dinosaurs on everyone around him. And yes they do play tunes named after Dinosaurs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/7e45d544-e77e-4f88-b723-b4b91dfcc449/EmilySteinwall_SSP_2022_BradArdley-24.jpeg Events - MONDAY - EMILY STEINWALL 11.00 Emily Steinwall is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrument from Toronto.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/6c29c7fb-1f2d-409a-b5e6-755a472d645a/315106491_559541676178314_3585783955547462774_n.jpg Events - THURSDAY - TARAF SYRIANA 8.00 As their name suggests, Taraf Syriana performs Syrian and Romani folk music, featuring a lineup of graduates from top conservatories in Syria and Europe.

Swirling border pipes, raging fiddle, thunderous guitar and three rich voices blend to create a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. After 24 years of touring, Cantrip has found a character like no other. Echoes can be heard of trad music from the 1960s and 70s, but the years have slowly infested their music with the sounds of funk, metal, bluegrass, swing, and even klezmer. Dan Houghton, Jon Bews, Alasdair White, and Eric McDonald stir the elements in a witches’ cauldron, slowly coalescing into chaotic order.

A land situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, southern Italy has long been a cultural crucible: Native traditions fusing and clashing with ancient Greek and Latin colonisations formed the bedrock, augmented by a subsequent millennium and a half of foreign invasions, occupations, and migrations, all of which comes through in the living testament of otherwise lost humanities that is the folk music of the South. Love, magic, death, devotion, and no shortage of bawdy humour pervade these songs, played with authentic instruments and sung in the ancient, endangered languages of the region. From the longing of lovers to the terrors of war, from dances of courtship and revelry to exorcism ceremonies for those afflicted by the wolf spider, these are the rhythms and melodies that sustained the poor masses of southern Italy for countless generations. Travelling far beyond the well-known folk repertoire, Festa Popolare takes audiences to the depths of these traditions, some seldom performed outside of Italy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/0e2a5184-8e80-448b-9994-a88d26a2d3eb/Vertical+still+frame.PNG Events - THURSDAY - QUEER THURSDAYS! 11.00 Lewdline: Hoerror Fête Halloween is finally here!

Maxwell started releasing music in 2019 with his debut album, Radio Silence (Trans Phatt Records), which quickly garnered substantial play on SiriusXM and over 400k streams on Spotify. Maxwell fed his new audience’s hunger for his fresh take on Pop/Alternative R&B with the EP Hellion, released in 2021, the album LP2, released in 2022, and most recently, acoustic reimaginings of five previously released songs with the EP basement acoustic sessions, in 2023. “I’m a 0 or 100 person, but I’m on 100 most of the time so that momentum is really important to helping me feel that I’m being productive and growing.” In three short years, Jesse Maxwell has indeed gone from 0 to 100: racking up 1.3 million streams on Spotify; becoming a regular fixture on radio across Canada; making inroads internationally (via a #1 on the People’s Soul Choice Charts on the UK’s Delite Radio); and gaining a well-deserved reputation as a prolific, deeply lyrical storyteller and a distinctively compelling voice in modern soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/3psrlcnjlkxbw92-zrpm8-j2txn monthly 0.5 2023-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3a93f043-fd87-4bf4-803b-c67f412b2655/roda+de+samba+de+toronto.jpg Events - SUNDAY - RODA DE SAMBA 6.00 Tickets $15 at the door Roda de Samba de Toronto is one of the most traditional grassroots samba bands in Toronto, bringing classic samba to Canada since 2014.

Grassroots samba, or "samba de raiz" as usually called in Brazil, has a little something for everyone: from the ones who would love to be in Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval, to the ones who would love to dance to some mellow tunes together, everybody finds something to enjoy when real samba is played.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/b6de50d6-56a9-4304-b2ea-e8a57ee016ae/CarlosCardozo.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - CARLOS CARDOZO QUARTET 8.00 Brazilian multi-instrumentalist/singer, composer Carlos Cardozo delivers a strong overview on Brazilian Samba, Bossa Nova, Forró, Funk adding jazz and folkloric fundamentals with a hint of Brazilian northeastern rhythms.

And everywhere and always the sound of music driving the essential spiral of celebration. Toronto trumpeter, composer and producer David Buchbinder was born in Kansas City, Missouri, grew up in Saint Louis and–after decades of not knowing what he was missing–first came to the Crescent City in February 2019, just in time to have his mind blown by all of the wild culture he found in the lead up to Mardi Gras. Since then the Grammy-nominated, JUNO-winning musician has been living on and off in New Orleans, and has had the honour of playing with a number of musical institutions including the iconic Treme Brass Band, the Panorama Jazz Band, the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, and The Iguanas, among others, along with playing in many, many parades. And, since this past February he has been playing gospel trumpet and piano in a local church. NOLA Dreams brings his love for New Orleans culture to Toronto, refracted through his dreams and the talents of a crew of fantastic Toronto musicians, featuring powerhouse singer, star of stage & screen Alana Bridgewater, incredible trombonist in town from New Orleans Trombone Red, masterful and deep-in-the tradition pianist Michael Shand, rising bassist Max Simpson, and drummer groovin-in-the-NOLA-bag Lowell Whitty. The show features music David has learned from New Orleans culture bearers in the brass band/jazz traditions, some gospel songs he’s played in church, a few NOLA-inspired originals, and some classic NOLA songs reimagined by Ms. Bridgewater. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/0071c81e-1500-4557-bb59-53796266575c/364804322_712240870710623_5469806148034677412_n.jpg Events - SATURDAY - RUSS GUITAR’S BLUES REVUE 11.30 Hailing from Bristol UK and led by Gretsch endorsed guitarist Ruzz Guitar...

His music’s been played on radio stations around the globe, and he’s performed live all over North America and Europe. These days, a car and a guitar keeps him light and fancy free - THUNDERCLAP is a man alone and a band that can't break up! He believes that the intimate dynamics of the voice can be lost in band situations and the bravery needed to take a stage alone heightens the vulnerability of the performer, creating a deeper emotional rapport with the audience. THUNDERCLAP performs on the streets regularly, titillating audiences with his unique style as a "guerilla folk poet”. THUNDERCLAP’s performance style was honed as a practicing method actor. His approach is honesty without a preconceived outcome, a pinch of poetic justice, a grand gesture or two and voila! One hell of a strange, operatic minstrel that will leave you scratching your head and tapping your toes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/pzn867gl4y7hbnw-alsmt-g8ba3-226e9-kz6hk-3e8xk-dxrkw-nzat5-ba5yl-9y8sy-sj3ml-hc9t2-gdxw7-k5m5y-zgyyl-w2wxm-sg4s4-p6wth-9ayzk-kd6nm-tsbxz-5ysef-6gg43-wzcfb-lrtrm-z2grp-gkzwz-9dnjd-rjlhk monthly 0.5 2023-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/aa6d8827-20a4-44ce-aa61-f7b47c2efad4/Aleksandr+Mikitenko.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - SASHA MIKITENKO 6.00 Aleksandr Mikitenko is an indie-underground singer-songwriter, musician and translator from Odessa, Ukraine, who became a refugee along with his family because of the Russian-Ukrainian war and eventually settled in Toronto, Canada.

Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral. It hopes to re-awaken motivic polyphonic chamber music as a popular music, suitable for street corners, engendering shouts instead of polite applause, and addressing themes relevant to this moment, including but not limited to communities organizing to resist cultural hegemony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/74da5e42-da71-4384-9118-fb8ee92c0e97/350799526_233588072740560_2308701226817824685_n.jpg Events - SUNDAY - BALKAN BUMP 10.30 Balkan Bump is the global electronic music project orchestrated by trumpet player, producer and ethnomusicologist Will Magid.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts.

The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/b9fa2e17-26b0-4bc9-a3e9-b2dc943a7862/Simon+Williams+%40+Drom+Taberna+%281%29.png Events - THURSDAY - SIMON WILLIAMS 6TET 8.00 Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Simon Williams is a Toronto-based composer and pianist.

A group of friends who first gathered together to play a few gigs during that year’s soccer World Cup, upon great audience feedback and having lots of fun playing together they then moved on to biweekly presentations that became a tradition and fundamental part of the exciting Bloor Street West cultural mix, bringing a loyal and highly energetic crowd to the area on Saturday afternoons for the next four years, and to many other places after that. Grassroots samba, or "samba de raiz" as usually called in Brazil, has a little something for everyone: from the ones who would love to be in Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval, to the ones who would love to dance to some mellow tunes together, everybody finds something to enjoy when real samba is played.

Through music, people found expression not only in their sufferings but in the moments of ecstatic happiness they found, princpally in one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/77bd6cd0-ed60-4d9d-919e-fe33b7986f56/AQJune182023105-7+piece+laughing+more.JPG Events - MONDAY - AL QAHWA 8.00 Al Qahwa is Maryem Tollar on vocals, riqq (Arabic tambourine) and qanun (Arabic table harp); Ernie Tollar on wind instruments; Demetri Petsalakis on oud and Naghmeh Fahrahmand on percussion.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/d1c716aa-e1e1-47a3-b1fa-dd9292c9c014/Eighth+Street+Orchestra.jpg Events - THURSDAY - EIGHT STREET ORCHESTRA 7.00 The biggest little brass band on the street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/bd7dd99f-8657-4913-a3ff-8e0ce53fa241/QueerThursdays.jpg Events - THURSDAY - QUED UP! 11.00 Que'd Up: Limelight an opportunity for some of our favourite emerging DJs from the open decks to take the stage!

We came up with several answers: It’s expensive. You have to dress up. It’s snobby. You can’t drink, except during intermission. You can’t talk. It’s snobby. You can’t get up and move around. And it’s snobby. So, that’s what we have set out to change. We perform opera and more in a fun, casual setting, making opera what it was originally intended to be - entertainment! Laughter, tears and gorgeous music! We aim to take away the exclusive nature of opera so our audiences can feel comfortable to talk, drink, and to share the experience with those around them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3316f8a6-27ca-4eef-bb2d-84628240161a/Drom+-+Manana+%28INSTA+RECTANGLE%29.png Events - SUNDAY - Ma’na’Na LatinE Flow 11.00 A community LatinE Event for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/pzn867gl4y7hbnw-alsmt-g8ba3-226e9-kz6hk-ardr9-88fzj-whbpy-reysr-cwber-4fsmz-ex8fx-4ywfg-gw9l4-95856-8dhsf-2zc74-sec2w-fkkp8-73dje-bbrxj-fbnnp monthly 0.5 2023-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/57e92042-01f6-420b-908b-c077cf1637a4/LIVE+MUSIC%21.png Events - SATURDAY - LIVE MUSIC 6.00 Dinner time tunes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/ddda3730-94c7-4a4e-8bd0-aeda2755650d/Kalya_La+Cubana_Large-42+%281%29.jpg Events - SATURDAY - KALYA RAMU (patio) 8.00 Canadian Jazz vocalist and Visual Artist Kalya Ramu is making a name for herself in Toronto’s Jazz community.

To cap off 2022, Bird and Farncombe released a surprise duo album of 11 originals entitled, "Songwriter". Kira Grunenberg at DownBeat Magazine wrote of the album, “Impassioned messages sung and played from one’s heart but worn on a well-dressed sleeve. Songwriter is an elegant, romantic, and well-executed gem of a record.” Alex literally grew up with the classics. As a young boy he was taken to hang around the Toronto jazz scene and had the opportunity to see and meet many of the greats along the way; Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Oscar Peterson, Mel Tormé, Ray Charles, Cleo Laine...the list goes on.

My name is Matthew Tenedero and I just finished my third year of Humber’s music program as a guitar player. I enjoy many different types of music but I love traditional and contemporary forms of jazz but I grew up listening to 90’s and early 2000’s R&B music so the kind of stuff really has a place in my heart. I also had a massive Beatles phase in High school. All the music that I write is very much influenced by that kind of music. I’m really thrilled to be a part of the music scene in Toronto and am eagerly waiting for what’s to come. Other than that I also like to eat, sleep, watch films, drive my car, read books, and go to church. I am very excited to be playing with my trio at Drom Taberna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/dbd1ddb7-883a-4dfd-976b-5a9f69ec572c/Donovan+Locke.jpeg Events - MONDAY - DONOVAN LOCKE QUARTET 8.00 Donovan Locke is a multi-talented vocalist based in Toronto.

Windjack's performances are a wild ride, full of surprises and unexpected twists, yet there's a sense of calm, serenity, and purpose in every note he plays and word he sings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - MONDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/pzn867gl4y7hbnw-alsmt-g8ba3-226e9-kz6hk-3e8xk-dxrkw-nzat5-ba5yl-9y8sy-sj3ml-hc9t2-gdxw7-k5m5y-zgyyl-w2wxm monthly 0.5 2023-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/8a71f37c-e19e-4d01-b8d1-6c80f4b39517/RaquelMarina.jpeg Events - SUNDAY - RAQUEL MARINA TRIO 6.00 Vocalist, composer, educator, and bandleader Raquel Marina Skilich is recognized for her adaptability, competence, and originality.

Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral. It hopes to re-awaken motivic polyphonic chamber music as a popular music, suitable for street corners, engendering shouts instead of polite applause, and addressing themes relevant to this moment, including but not limited to communities organizing to resist cultural hegemony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/3316f8a6-27ca-4eef-bb2d-84628240161a/Drom+-+Manana+%28INSTA+RECTANGLE%29.png Events - SUNDAY - Ma’na’Na LatinE Flow 11.00 A community LatinE Event for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/pzn867gl4y7hbnw-alsmt-g8ba3-226e9-kz6hk-ardr9-88fzj-whbpy-reysr-cwber-4fsmz-ex8fx-4ywfg-gw9l4-95856 monthly 0.5 2023-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/59edb38e-9b5a-4ff9-96dc-c52841d1bb57/221201_secret_life_of_secrets_1070132669.jpeg Events - SATURDAY - LIVE MUSIC 6.00 A secret show and we cant tell you so I guess you will have to come find out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/5d685521-4a48-4476-aa91-07f5db3ba8a5/Les+Tireux+d%27Roches_TDR+France_Davy+Gallant__.jpg Events - SATURDAY - LES TIREUX D’ROCHES 8.00 Les Tireux d’Roches (The Stone Chuckers) have come a long way since that night, back in 1998, when their journey began at Saint-Élie-de-Caxton (Quebec) little coffee shop.

The concept of longing, love, absence, adventure and uncertainty were introduced early on, along with the tools for capturing them, a voice, a guitar and poetry. She grew up in the Andean city of Quito, Ecuador, surrounded by mountains that echoed the sound of charangos, nylon guitars, boleros, pasillos for the aching hearts and merengue, salsa to clean wounds and celebrate life. Near her teenage years she moved to Canada to pursue music, and started writing songs that reflected the tugging of the roots that lay in the hearts of those away from their country.Writing music was a way to know those roots still laid deep and sharing her stories grew branches in a new land she now calls home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/81f7834d-2aff-4709-b348-42da0017680a/The+Sonny+Balcones.jpeg Events - WEDNESDAY - THE SONNY BALCONES 7.00 The Sonny Balcones are a Toronto based jazz band that combine 30's and 40's swing with soft samba, french jazz and sultry torch songs.

His father was a choir conductor and guitarist, but when his father died, he didn’t get the chance to go to music school to pursue his goal. He studied chemistry and biology because he didn’t have a choice. Even though he was studying another subject in school, music was still his passion. In 2014, Jonathan moved with his family to Canada. When he first arrived in Canada, he studied music at Humber College (vocal major) and continued to pursue his dream of singing and writing. With the multicultural band, Jonathan incorporates jazz knowledge and his African heritage through songs, rhythm, and dance. He believes that music is spiritual, a tool that helps to communicate with the ancestors, God, and to reconnect with that beautiful land of Africa. He and the band have recently been working on his first album and can't wait to release it. Check out his Instagram page for the announcement at @jonelpianomusic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/a493b61c-599b-4f73-ae22-219c190d5f92/D0000538+%282%29.jpg Events - SATURDAY - SUAVE SAX 2.30 Suave Sax is a Toronto based throwback cover band that features the sultry sounds of the saxophone.

We came up with several answers: It’s expensive. You have to dress up. It’s snobby. You can’t drink, except during intermission. You can’t talk. It’s snobby. You can’t get up and move around. And it’s snobby. So, that’s what we have set out to change. We perform opera and more in a fun, casual setting, making opera what it was originally intended to be - entertainment! Laughter, tears and gorgeous music! We aim to take away the exclusive nature of opera so our audiences can feel comfortable to talk, drink, and to share the experience with those around them.

Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral. It hopes to re-awaken motivic polyphonic chamber music as a popular music, suitable for street corners, engendering shouts instead of polite applause, and addressing themes relevant to this moment, including but not limited to communities organizing to resist cultural hegemony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SUNDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/pzn867gl4y7hbnw-alsmt-g8ba3-226e9-kz6hk-ardr9-88fzj monthly 0.5 2023-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - SATURDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/4306245a-0e25-44ad-9caf-8c4d44744d83/Kiraa%28Izzy%29.png Events - SATURDAY - KIRAA 6.00 Kiraa is a vocalist based in Toronto.

Sing some songs. Make some music. Give some joy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/19a09c4b-b63e-4030-8668-dc8c9d1473ec/10Tet+Photo.jpg Events - WEDNESDAY - THOMAS STEELE 10tet 8.30 - 10:30 The Thomas Steele 10Tet is a ten-piece contemporary large ensemble based in Toronto, Ontario. While a modern and contemporary group, the music composed and performed by the group is rooted in the jazz tradition. The group has performed across the city in a variety of venues, and has been a featured ensemble in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Toronto TU Jazz Festival. Born in November 2019, the ensemble is most notable for its distinctive instrumentation and genre-defying compositions. The ensemble consists of four woodwinds players, two trumpeters, two trombonists, a bassist and drummer. The lack of a chordal instrument, such as a piano or guitar, creates a unique opportunity for the ensemble to experiment with incorporating melody, harmony and rhythm into their works.

Dagan's rich bass-baritone is unmistakable. His consistently forward-thinking style is inspired by hundreds of heroines and heroes, including Sheila Jordan (with whom Dagan recorded a duet in 2017). One part instrumentalist, one part cabaret diva, Carrie Chesnutt has had a dual career as saxophone and flute sideman and recording artist, as well as a One Woman cabaret dynamo. Carrie's one woman show ran for 8 seasons in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico as well as touring Costa Rica and Canada. Carrie has performed at Canada’s Walk of Fame, played with Late Night With David Letterman’s’ Paul Schaffer, blues legend Paul Butterfield, Canada’s Queen of the Blues Rita Chiarelli, English songwriter and gay icon Tom Robinson, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, entertained at private parties for Rick Moranis and Tom Hanks, and opened for the one and only Phyllis Diller.

Trio Morochitas pays tribute to these masters and to the people who keep this tradition alive and up to date back home, for the new generations to learn and enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/0688cb31-e5a9-4269-9f61-aba4b9f53bdb/Beagelmania+%281%29+%281%29.jpg Events - FRIDAY - BEAGLEMANIA 8.30-11.00 Beaglemania is Toronto's ONLY Beatles cover band with a country/folk twist - familiar songs and faces in new, unfamiliar ways! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/89b90ca8-8ff6-4450-964a-4069bf3e82f7/Screen+Shot+2022-11-09+at+8.28.22+PM.png Events - FRIDAY - DJ ESCOBUTT 11.00 - ALL NIGHT Latin art and science muse ~ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/f7754fcb-e04d-44ca-9b9c-8c90468f3aa9/8thstreetOrchestra.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - EIGHTH STREET ORCHESTRA 11.30 - 2.00 A mostly brass ensemble playing its very own brand of '20's & '30's vintage dance-band swing and dixieland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/aee7e151-f60e-4e88-b476-68406a031865/IMG_4766.jpg Events - FRIDAY - BOFRÉ 2.30 - 3.45 Bòfré is a music collective founded on the island of Ilha Grande, Brazil.

The debut single "Wildflowers" arrived Oct 2022, and the debut EP "Ilha Grande" is arriving in November 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - FRIDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dromtaberna.com/events-9O8Cm/saturday-wpbty-ft86a-9nndc-z8fpc-b3hl2-lfax9-6fsyg-c36jy-9gfar-49wke-pcrk3-jkd5k-ccsb7 monthly 0.5 2022-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/1479db29-4777-4264-980e-96919730ec22/BottomBar.png Events - THURSDAY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/bfe37522-d251-45ce-ae12-4acfb7439a39/DVO_1162.jpg Events - THURSDAY - JULIAN FAUTH & KEN YOSHIOKA 6.00-8.00 Julian Fauth and Ken Yoshioka have been friends and frequent musical collaborators since meeting in Toronto’s Kensington Market in the mid 1990s.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/b55cdf95-89e1-43f7-a5f1-bc9f36102810/QueenKongDrom.jpeg Events - WEDNESDAY - QUEEN KONG 8.00 - 11.00 Queen Kong is an exploration of music inspired by the Radical Jewish Culture movement in New York founded by pioneer John Zorn.

Sing some songs. Make some music. Give some joy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/84f8676e-09f7-4d3c-b649-21d1408a90ba/311322456_470170891762398_513540636150462040_n.jpg Events - MONDAY - ALLOYS 8.00 - 11.00 Returning for the first time since 2019, Alloys is a jazz chamber brass band led by Toronto trumpet player Max Forster.

Poverty, fate, mysticism, beauty, folk wisdom, and unbridled emotion constitute the world of these songs. Through music, people found expression not only in their sufferings but in the moments of ecstatic happiness they found, principally in one another.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/367e48fa-82d8-4379-97eb-33fb2405d3fe/Angela+Edit-429-horizontal.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - ANGELA VERBRUGGE 8.00-11.00 Angela Verbrugge caught listeners’ ears with her debut album (released on NYC’s Gut String Records) and she won this year’s JazzTimes Readers’ Poll in the female jazz vocalist category.

It’s a place where junkies, winos and new immigrants exist in the shadow spaces between condo towers and artists’ lofts. Even as gentrification pushes them out, these wayward characters find a home in Freeman Dre’s songs. The tunes are direct, memorable, wildly romantic, and informed by the North American folk-rock tradition as much as his Irish and Polish roots. They invoke hug-your-neighbour singalongs, foot stomping dance parties, and more than a few tears. Like a late night shot of whiskey, Freemans Dre’s music hits you straight in the gut and then fills your head with the foolish idea that, with enough love, anything is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/c16b093c-6937-4717-b722-e04d6e41ea07/image0+%281%29.jpeg Events - THURSDAY - RHYTHM & SOUND 8.00-11.00 Rhythm and Sound is honoured to be playing the Drom Taberna with special guests appearing all night!

Formed in 2018, Amarras strives for a musical aesthetic that is dark, intense, and transformative. The music of contemporary tango is a music of resistance, and should resonate as closely with those listening in bars as those listening in chamber halls, or perhaps more so. It strives to move people, to be uncomfortable, to be bold. It is not pleasant music, though it is beautiful. It is not easy music, though it is accessible. It avoids cliché and trope, while still deriving power from a genre that is laced with both. It is explorative, challenging, and intrepid. It is unexpected. It is urban. It is loud. It is visceral.

The group is primarily devoted to klezmer—the musical heritage of Eastern European Jews—distinguished by a novel approach that incorporates various components of classical, Quebecois, and jazz repertoires. The group’s eight virtuoso musicians offer festive, high-energy performances, at once melancholic and profound, sprinkled with humour and spiced with narrative, in which original compositions and finely crafted arrangements combine with improvisation. Its members’ complicity, shared passion, and hard work are what makes each of their performances so memorable—whether on stage, in the street, on a ship, in a hot air balloon or in your living room, Oktopus is simply… spectentacular! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c74c09107e832e3b3ef524/c20a9588-c860-4c11-8b25-582a0dbbce39/Eighth+Street+Orchestra.jpeg Events - FRIDAY - EIGHTH STREET ORCHESTRA 11.30 - 2 A mostly brass ensemble playing its very own brand of '20's & '30's vintage dance-band swing and dixieland.
