Downchild set for rare date

DOWNCHILD SET FOR HORSESHOE DATE IN TORONTO THIS FRIDAY MARCH 24 Downchild,
which has long called itself "Canada's blues band" is set to play a rare
Toronto date this coming Friday March 24. While the band's leader, Donnie
"Mr. Downchild" Walsh spends his winters in Costa Rica, the band's members
all live in the Toronto area - but Downchild only plays two or three times
each year in the city. The March 24 date brings the band back to Toronto's
"legendary" Horseshoe Tavern for the first time in several years. Says
Walsh: "The 'Shoe is a terrific place to play, and the club's got a long
history with blues artists like James Cotton, and we're proud to be part of
that." The band will play material from its latest album, the Juno-nominated
"Come Right In." WHO: Downchild, Canada's blues band WHAT: Straight ahead
good-time rockin' blues - played with heart and passion WHY: The band needs
to play Toronto twice a year: This is one of those times WHERE: The
Legendary Horseshoe Tavern WHEN: Friday March 24. Doors at 9:00 p.m. sets at
10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. HOW MUCH: $12.50 advance (at The Horseshoe,
Ticketmaster, Soundscapes), $15.00 at door. For further information, hi-res
