OPEN MIC MONDAYS at THE PAINTED LADY
featuring Host NELSON SOBRAL
& The Monday Night Magik Band
Our view on songwriting is that it’s a craft to be honed everyday, and with talent and work, it can evolve to high art… And as serious as that sounds, rest assured, there’s more than a little bit of fun going on around here… ; )
WHEN:
10pm every Monday.
Sign up at 9pm sharp.
Special feature performer every Monday at 9:15pm
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE ON STAGE?:
2 songs per performer.
IS IT ONLY ACOUSTIC?
Short answer… No.
We’re Electrified. And Acoustic.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC…?
All genres welcome. We’ve engineered them all… You’ll sound great.
I’M A MAGICIAN. I’M A VENTRILOQUIST. I’M A COMEDIAN. I’M A MIME. MAY I STILL PERFORM?
Short answer… No. We’re keeping it strictly music. Beat poetry, Rap poetry excepted (Shram) as it’s musical.
We’ve welcomed various diciplines in the past, and we’ve had a great time, yet we’ve decided it’s best to organize a separate night to allow the necessary space, time, and unique vibe they each deserve. Sorry folks, but on the bright side, please come in + talk to us about a show idea!

EPIC TUESDAYS! Debut show
So pumped up to be able to bring you these three amazing bands in one evening at an amazing venue!!!
Stolen Statues 11pm:
New band on the scene – 7 piece sophistipop that brings cool tunes that will remind you of bands like Danny Wilson (band), Johnny Hates Jazz, Level 42, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson. Really amazing group and you’re gonna love their music.
Cat and the Queen 10pm
high energy theatrical pop that brings Cat’s incisive lyrical perspective to life, love, and sometimes waffles. Everyone deserves waffles on Sunday and you gotta check out her music. If you love Tori Amos’s “Under the Pink” album or the music of Julia Bentley you’ll love Cat’s live show for sure. Who’s gonna call it? Mercy!!

SONGWRITER’S WORKSHOP WITH BROOKLYN DORAN!
We have added a Songwriting Workshop to this monthly series! The talented Brooklyn Doran will be the workshop facilitator and will talk about her tricks of the trade as well as help you put together any songs you’re currently working on.
7p-9p: Songwriting Workshop
9p-1130p: Show
***
Never been to an In The Round? These concerts focus on the stories behind the music, and the songs themselves. The music is stripped back to allow listeners to really experience the songs at the most authentic level. What it also means is that we won’t be having ‘sets’ per se – all four songwriters will be on stage together the whole time!
Gillian Nicola (Host)
gilliannicola.com
The first thing that strikes listeners about Hamilton’s Gillian Nicola is the strength of her vocals. This rising singer/songwriter calls on influences of folk, rock and alt-country to bring a sound both unique to her and that honours her diverse taste.
Brooklyn Doran (Workshop Facilitator)
brooklyndoran.com
Brooklyn Doran is an emerging singer-songwriter, originally from Kenora, Ontario and now based in Toronto. Brooklyn’s music presents a unique and harmonious blend of indie-folk & contemporary pop. Her live show weaves song and storytelling, from humorous anecdotes to emotional ballads, to delightfully folk-infused love songs.
Greg McEvoy
gregmcevoymusic.tumblr.com
Folk rocker Greg McEvoy threads together psychedelic acoustic country and raucous New Jersey party tunes to create something unmistakably Canadian, with nods to legends like Neil Young as well as his contemporaries Joel Plaskett and Bahamas. McEvoy is currently supporting his most recent full length album ‘Selfish Love Songs’
Jenie Thai
www.jeniethai.ca

Toronto’s live music scene is still happening on Ossington. Come by the Painted Lady for Thursday night tunes.
The Responsables
What started out once as a tiny little trio in late 2009 has grown into a core six-piece reggae groove outfit that brings the good vibes. That said, these days it’s more like a nine-piece! Four part harmonies, a blend of reggae roots, a touch of afrobeat, and some funky breaks, it’s always a rockin’ dance party!
Train on The Water
They play the good musics!
