RMG Fridays December

December 6, 2012

We’re excited to be hosting our final RMG Fridays of the year tomorrow. We are welcoming folks from the Art of Transition planning committees as well as expecting a great audience.

Just a quick post to share some music from the acts performing tomorrow….

Whitby native Jay Pollock plays with a percussive acoustic guitar style, paired with a haunting baritone voice. His lyrics are dark and sarcastic, but relatable, though infused with twisted imagery. This is paired with a dash or two of eastern melodic spices.

In October, Evening Hymns were featured on CBC Canada Live recorded at Toronto’s Great Hall and The Grid (Toronto) calls Spectral Dusk “…deeply evocative.” The December 7 concert date in Oshawa is the final in this tour and is a free show.
