BORN IN THE U.S.A. - TOMMY YOUNGSTEEN PRESENTS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Regent Theatre, Oshawa
riday, Apr. 8, 20168:00 p.m.

We're never ones to promote tributes, we'd rather focus on makers of new music rather than rehashing oldies but Tommy Youngsteen, a tribute to Tom Petty, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen is just way too good a concept to miss. The ten piece horns and all outfit (featuring members of Sam Roberts Band, Stars, Sloan, The Stills, The Arkells, Broken Social Scene & The Trews) will be running through the hits of The Boss like they were born to it.

Three solo singer/songwriters from the Black Grass scene haven't played together in a while so this is a treat. All are fine singers and guitar players, Liscio in particular knows his way around an axe.

JULIE DOIRON, STEVE LAMBKE, WILL KIDMAN
Monarch Tavern, Toronto
Sunday, Apr 10 9 p.m.

Three solo singer/songwriters with quite the pedigree. As well as their time in Eric's Trip and the Constantines respectively they have had produced wonderful solo work. Lambke's recent Days of Heaven made the 2015 SlowCity Top 5 list.
