Just Shows co-founder and Parts & Labour show booker Mark Pesci is bringing his talents to another west-end venue, College Street’s Smiling Buddha – pencilling in singers, bands and DJs as well as comedians. One of his first shows? Peach Kelli Pop with Average Times, First Base and Non-Stop Girls on March 21.
Bonus? The venue has a brand-spanking new sound system to boot.
& the nominees are…
The 2014 Juno Award nominations were announced Tuesday morning, February 4, in Toronto, and the contenders from our city span all categories.
