PERFORMANCES
Paul Simon (Friday): We’ve got a concert-goers dream couple of weeks ahead of us at Massey Hall, beginning with a performance from the legendary and inspiring Paul Simon (Friday May 6). Simon has penned some magnificent, joyous, and challenging music over his vast career. If you have yet to hear his latest album, So Beautiful or So What – we highly reccommend you do. (Listen here). There is nothing nostalgic about it. The man deserves his accolades. Enjoy the show if you are lucky enough to attend!
The Lowest of the Low (Saturday): The Canadian independent music scene is well-known and admired all over the world. 20 years ago, when the Toronto band The Lowest of the Low, released Shakespeare My Butt…, which was the highest selling indie release in Canadian history. Guitarist Stephen Stanley recently told us about his unique history with the Hall and explained why this show on Saturday will hold a special place for him when the band conclude their 20th Anniversary tour on Saturday May 7 performing that album in its entirety.
JUST ANNOUNCED
Fresh from her stunning performance which garnered a standing ovation this past weekend, when she played special guest to Michael Kaeshammer at Massey Hall, Jill Barber will headline her own show when we present her at Glenn Gould Studio on October 21, 2011. Barber plays in support of her acclaimed new album Mischievous Moon (which NOW Magazine says sounds like “Patsy Cline meets Burt Bacharach”). If you haven’t already, check her out here.
