It's almost here! Canadian Music Week is so close I can taste it.
There are so many choices and to help you with your planning, I've picked three shows that I think you shouldn't miss during CMW 2017.

This show is also on Joshua's list and that's because we both know a great thing when we see one. It's an amazing opening night lineup. Some of these bands are brand new to me but some of them are favourites and I'm happy we've got this show to get the week started.

I've written in detail about this showcase and you can read everything you need to know about all of the bands here but let me remind you that while all of the acts are Aussie based there's a little bit of everything genre-wise for everyone. Stop by, say hello and check out some amazing talent from Australia.

Saturday is going to be a late one but with this lineup, we're pretty sure you'll be sticking around until the end. Indie rock, alternative rock, hard rock, Rock 'n' Roll, with some funk and soul thrown in for good measure. It's going to be a high energy show and I'm thrilled to see some of my favourite Toronto bands and I'm always excited to see acts that are new to me. new music... is there anything better?
And now I'm going to cheat and add a couple more bands to my list. I've said it before if you haven't seen Crown Lands live yet, put them on your "must see" list. They'll be playing both Friday the 21st at Hard Luck Bar and Saturday 22nd at The Bovine. Second on the cheat list is Andrew Hyatt. He's been around a little while but Andrew just keeps getting better and better. If you haven't seen him yet, now is the time to get on board. His latest release She Ain't You reaches into your heart and says what we're all thinking. Andrew's playing the KX Country's Hot Shots Showcase on Tuesday, April 18th.
