Shawn Phillips Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh’s Room, 296 Broadview Avenue
Show at 8pm, Doors at 7pm
$40+ in advance, $47+at the door
Shawn Phillips is the man whom Bill Graham called “the best kept secret in the music business”, the man who taught Joni Mitchell her first guitar techniques and also taught George Harrison his first lessons on Sitar, wrote the music to Donovan’s Season of the Witch and has played with many of the finest musicians in the world including Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood.
He has produced 27 albums and is known around the world for his refusal to bow down to commercialism in the music industry. He has done what many singer/songwriters don’t do, which is to continue to evolve his creative skills in his concerts. When he comes to a venue, he brings the sounds of an entire symphony orchestra in real time and plays the songs so many love as closely as possible to what was recorded on the albums. All in real time… all solo! This is a show you do not want to miss. Shawn will be at Hugh’s Room on Wednesday October 8.
296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so – please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
