Sunday Morning Soul brings you the best in new Blues, R&B, Soul and Roots music from across the planet, every Sunday morning at 11AM(EDT). We also repeat the show on Wednesday evenings form 10PM to midnight(EDT) on www.thehazefm.ca, Canada's only commercial webradio station. We report to as many Blues Societies as possible and many blues lists…we get it out!
I'll be playing at a novel, new venue on saturday, august 7th: the Village Vapor Lounge at Church and Wellesley in downtown Toronto. With rare exception, this will be a regular saturday evening gig for me.
This non-licensed lounge is on the third floor at 66 Wellesley St. East. Not licensed for alcohol, the lounge is licensed for personal marijuana use, by patients of the medical marijuana compassion clinic on the second floor, and - for a $5.00 cover - by any guests who'd like to bring their own and inhale - legally! I'm not much of a smoker anymore, but this would have been a great gig to have in my college days. Or maybe not - sometimes I wonder how I finished the program, puffer that I was.
Finding the Village Vapor Lounge can be a little tricky since, while its address is 66 Wellesley East, the building on the corner of Wellesley and Church has a #66B address painted on a door, leading you to perhaps think the VVL is in that location. But it's actually located on the third floor above the Ho's Team beauty salon in the next building to the west, where the Medical Marijuana Compassion Clinic is also situated on the second floor.
peace, Mark

New Big Blue X song, Prepare For War (live recording), download it for free, it you like it forward this email to all your friends. And we have a gig scheduled for August 8th (details below).
It took a few weeks to write Prepare For War, it's one of our favorite songs to play, it's got a lot of melody. Initially we had about 3 songs worth of lyrics, Brian tossed most of them out and added some new ideas.
As you may know, we've been talking like idiots about recording - it's been a slow climb, the best we could do right now is to release a live recording straight off the mixing board. Prepare For War is from a gig we did in early June in a small pub in Toronto, it's a FREE download so don't be shy.
The mix is super rough but for now this should give you a good idea of where we're at - I did some mastering magic to even it out. The goal is to still get some better studio recordings.
We've got a gig scheduled for August 8th, Toronto (Dundas & 427) - it's an all ages gig, we go on at 2:30pm.
Date: Sunday, August 8, 2010 2:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: The Rockpile an ALL AGES venue 5555a Dundas Street West (427&Dundas) Etobicoke, ON
- Cheers, Carl
