Keep stoking your creativity during the last bit of winter by hitting up one of the myriad open mics and instrument jams. The east end does ’em best. Standouts include Julian Taylor’s House Party at Dora Keogh (141 Danforth), which runs Mondays from 5 pm to midnight, and the Corktown Ukulele Jam, newly relocated to the Paintbox Bistro (555 Dundas East) on Wednesdays. A paid workshop starts at 8 pm, followed by a free group jam and open stage at 9:30 pm. In the west end, you can’t go wrong with Dr. B’s Acoustic Medicine Show with Brian Gladstone on Saturday afternoons at Free Times (320 College).
