Venue review

The musician's read

Free Times Cafe is an independent Toronto cafe, restaurant and concert venue with a deep history of original music. Folk, singer-songwriter, jazz and Klezmer are all part of the room’s identity, and the venue actively welcomes gig inquiries. The all-ages setting is best for musicians who can hold attention through songs, stories and personality rather than production scale.

Burdock Music Hall is an all-ages Bloordale concert room attached to Burdock Brewery’s restaurant. Indie, folk, jazz, experimental and singer-songwriter acts fit the intimate setting, and the separate music-hall identity keeps the performance from feeling like incidental restaurant entertainment. It is especially strong for artists whose songs benefit from a close, attentive audience.
