["Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: (OAC) Dayna M., Lenni J., Mia S. surface in T.O.! Hey, folks... I'm currently suffering what I call "gig withdrawal" now that I'm back at school - don't have the time to go to too many shows during the schoolweek, but I've gotten so used to going to some amazing gig or another almost every day over the summer that it's killing me now. ;-) So I was looking through the weekly local listings, and there are some amazing small shows happening in town this week that I thought I'd share so at least *some* of you can go check them out even if I can't. ;-P - - Dayna Manning comes out of hiding ;) to join the Bluebird North singer-songwriter workshop/showcase tomorrow night (Sept. 21) at the Rivoli, along with soul diva Ivanna Santilli, snarky singer-songwriter Arlene Bishop, and guitar legend David Wilcox. Bluebird North is a loose collective of artists that get together at these periodic shows to try out new material, jam, and bounce ideas off each other. It's a great way to see some of these artists in a more intimate setting, so go! ;) In more Dayna info, apparently she's been working on demos in L.A. with The Tea Party's Jeff Martin (?!). Don't ask me. ;-) - - Another local singer-songwriter who's been missing in action lately, Lenni Jabour, is part of yet *another* group of singer-songwriters (good gracious, what's in the water in T.O.?! ;-)) getting together at Ted's Wrecking Yard *tonight* (Sept. 20) - things kick off at 9:30 with an incredible lineup that includes Lenni, Tory Cassis, and Howie Beck. - - May as well mention the final singer-songwriter night while I'm at it - - Renann hosts Raw Wednesdays at the Rivoli with guests Sarah Slean (!!), Lindy, Jeremy Robinson and more. (Sept.22) - - A gal who's friends with *all* of the above ;), Mia Sheard, is back with a new album, "Reptilian", which she unveils at Ted's Wrecking Yard on Tuesday (Sept. 21). Other shows of note: - - excellent American folkster Catie Curtis at the Horseshoe tonight (Sept. 20) - - alt-popsters By Divine Right with Bodega do a matinee at 2 pm on Sept. 26 at the Rivoli on the heels of a show at the Horseshoe the night before (Sept. 25) with guests Blurtonia. - - High-energy Guelph indie band Corduroy Leda (they're fun, check 'em out) play Ted's Wrecking Yard Thursday Sept. 23. - - And finally, Ottawa alt-popsters Starling make a rare appearance also at Ted's (go, Yvonne! ;)) on Friday the 24th. Whew! Gigs galore! I've just planned everyone's week for them. ;-) But seriously, folks, do yourself a favor if you're in/around the Toronto area and *do* check out one or two of these shows. The depth of the local scene never fails to amaze me, and it's weeks like this when every single night has several great shows going on that really say a lot. - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Sep 1999 23:19:34 GMT From: "Shawna Caspi" Subject: Re: (OAC) Dayna M., Lenni J., Mia S. surface in T.O.!

Whaaa?! Ivana?! This is the downside to being in London. What I would give to see that show...I may be going out on a limb here, but Ivana's pretty much my favourite live performer at the moment. (Despite the fact that I've only seen her once.) And Dayna Manning?! Volume 2 has been 'coming out soon' for years now...Tab, I hope you make it to this show and tell me all about it! ~Andy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Sep 1999 22:33:10 -0400 From: Steve I Subject: Re: (OAC) Dayna M., Lenni J., Mia S. surface in T.O.!

I believe this is an error. BDR and Blurtonia were at the Shoe on Saturday Sept *18th*, and the BDR/Bodega show was on the 19th. I really wanted to go both of them but the former clashed with the Scrappy Bitch Tour show and I had an Ultimate game during the latter. >- And finally, Ottawa alt-popsters Starling make a rare appearance also at >Ted's (go, Yvonne! ;)) on Friday the 24th. About time they returned, I say! I have to replace my Starling disc that I lost a few months ago. Did anyone notice that they were added to the lineup for the turn of the century Hip show? Wow.
