The Ainslie + Gorman Arts Centres are again presenting a full weekend’s worth of excellent music, this time as part of the Ainslie Salon series. Experimental saxophone-drums noise duo Party Dozen, composer and The Jezabels keyboardist Heather Shannon, and electronic duo HTRK lead the lineup set to take over Ainslie Arts Centre’s Main Hall from Thursday to Sunday.
Transit Bar continues its live music resurgence with a number of gigs throughout the week. Catch local rockers Slow Dial and The Narcissists on Thursday before brand new hip hop improv jam night Mobius takes over the underground venue on Friday.
Milk Records artists and globetrotter Hachiku will be appearing at sideway on East Row this weekend for an intimate Sunday afternoon show. The singer-songwriter will be joined by locals dog world and Flik.
