07/17/08 Jeff Straker in Toronto unCORKed - Songwriters in the Round - Bread and Circus/Toronto
  Time: 8:00pm. Admission: $5. Address: 193 1/2 Baldwin St Toronto. Sara Kamin, Kat Goldman, Annette Buckley and Jeffery Straker performing songs in the round at Bread and Circus. Songwriters in the round evenings feature the artist telling a bit about the song origins then singing it for you live and in person - in a way unCORKing the origins of the tune (to use both a wine reference and a reference to Annette’s home of Cork Ireland all in one….). You get to savour the song far more than you would with just a passive listen. “In the round” means that the singer changes with each song so the night is always kept fresh. This line up is wonderful - I’ve performed with both Sara and Kat and they are superb Toronto songwriters and singers - not to mention talented musicians. Annette will be coming to us from Cork Ireland and comes highly recommended - her reviews are rave. Bread and Circus is the perfect location for this type of event. Come and soak up some music in the heart of beautiful Kensington Market. Come and unCORK some songs!
8pm start - $5.
