The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern : 60th Anniversary
Part Grand Ol Opry, part CBGB’s, part Whisky-A-Go-Go, the ‘Shoe is unique among live music joints. While most clubs expire quicker than a car lease, the Horseshoe has continued to shape and define the Toronto music scene since 1947. It has survived and even thrived, with many a tale to tell in its beer- and sweat- and blood-stained floors.

It was the biggest clusterfuck ever. They wanted chaos – they got chaos. Security was scalping tickets at the back door. We also had Dan Aykroyd doing security, and a completely obliterated John Goodman behind the bar.
