It's time to celebrate by writing your best song ever. Here's how it works: • Write a NEW song inspired by one or more of the topics below, and, • Sign up to perform that song and one other song of your choice on the evening of your choice. Westboro Masonic Hall, 430 Churchill Ave. (at Byron) Friday April 7, 7 pm Saturday, April 8, 7 pm The five topics are: - Coffee to go - Late night call - Between the lines - James Bond - Keep going If you are inspired and would like to participate, write a NEW song on any of these topics, and then contact: Greg Kelly at grgr2swtr@yahoo.ca or Tony Turner at tony@tonyturner.ca Make sure you let them know the night you would like to perform.

Released March 1, 2017 http://www.wildriversmusic.com/ Toronto’s Wild Rivers began life as folk duo Devan & Khalid, named for Devan Glover and Khalid Yassein. The duo added Ben Labenski (drums) and Andrew Oliver (bass, guitar). Wild Rivers says, “Though we only released our debut album ten months ago, we wanted to release something new to represent our growth and development as people, musicians, and a band. After months of touring our debut album, we were inspired to explore new areas of our music: developing a larger, richer sound while still focusing on vocal harmonies and thoughtful lyrics. ‘Do Right’ is a song that displays growth from our folk roots, along with experiences we’ve encountered as a group over the last year. It showcases a refreshing new take on Wild Rivers, featuring more energy than ever before. We’re excited to continue exploring this sound towards uncharted territory.” http://www.popmatters.com/post/wild-rivers-do-right-audio-premiere/ |
