3rd Friday Coming Up

Reminder: this Friday is Music Friday downtown. The Chromatics will be playing at The Glassworks. See you on the 300 block of Queen Street.

3rd Friday

This Friday was 3rd Friday (or Music Friday) on the 300 block of North Queen Street. Most of the shops were open and the street was full of buskers ("buskers" is your word of the day). The focus was at Building Character, where there were food and art vendors and Faux Minx was playing. Faux Minx is a 5-piece electric jazz group and they are very good. I was impressed with the sax player in particular, who also had an EWI (Electric Wind Instrument), which I had never seen before.

Also very good was the cute Maryjo Mattea, who was winning over the crowd with Beatles covers next to The Dude Shop.

There were many others there, playing between 7 & 9pm. I'm sure they'll do it again in August, so mark it on your calendar now.
