Ticket link is below. $52 per person. This is her first solo show in Toronto. Rising star in vocal jazz and double JUNO Award winner, **Dominique Fils-Aimé** is a Montreal singer-songwriter who puts the history of African-American musical culture into the heart of her work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=raz_WouI5EY&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Ftdmusichall.mhrth.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY She will perform a show that invites the audience to delve into the roots of her soul with a strong desire to connect with one's higher self. Whether in Canada (in a double bill with Allison Russell at Toronto's Koerner Hall), in Europe (opening for Melody Gardot, Diana Krall, and Ibrahim Maalouf), or in the United States (with acclaimed performances in New York and Los Angeles), Dominique Fils-Aimé captivates her spectators and leads them on a transcendent journey. **Ticket purchase info:** https://tdmusichall.mhrth.com/tickets/dominique-fils-aim%C3%A9/ TD Music Hall holds about 500 people. A super space we enjoy attending. Doors Open at 7pm. Concert begins at 8pm.

## Rehearsal Details: Thursday evenings 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m, Earl Bales Community Centre 4169 Bathurst St., just south of Sheppard, in Toronto. Email our membership chair, if you are interested in attending a rehearsal. **Lisa Taylor: 647-886-1766, [membershipchair@torontoaccolades.com](mailto:membershipchair@torontoaccolades.com)** Do you love to sing? Do you love performing for live audiences? The Toronto Accolades Chorus brings women-centric singers together to sing and perform a cappella harmony. Harmony connects people from all backgrounds, ages, and musical abilities to create a community where you can not only sing, but find a space to connect with other strong and dedicated people just like you. For decades, we've provided a venue for singers to express themselves, make quality music together, and form bonds beyond measure, and we invite you to join us for the ride. We welcome guests and work with them to find out their voice range and to determine what part (lead, tenor, baritone or bass) they would sing best. Guests are given a music folder and encouraged to participate in singing with the chorus in subsequent weeks. Although we continually strive for musical excellence, prior musical training is not necessary to belong to our chorus. We provide everyone with sheet music, audio learning tracks, education and guidance. At the end of 6 weeks, we ask each prospective member to audition, to ensure that they can hold their part in a four-part harmony song.

**A new format: you choose who you're interested in meeting** This meetup is about getting to know new people and sharing the experience in a small group (4-6 people). *We use the LYTT platform to handle group size and balance - so you're not just hoping someone interesting shows up.* To apply you will need to create an account at [lytt.me](https://lytt.me/meetup/indie-rock-horseshoe) \- it's free\. **The event: Live Indie Rock at The Horseshoe Tavern** The Horseshoe Tavern has been the launching pad for Canadian rock since 1947. The Rolling Stones kicked off their '97 world tour here. Blue Rodeo ran their record label from the basement. The Tragically Hip wrote about the checkerboard floors. This is where legends are made - and where you'll catch tomorrow's headliners tonight. Weekend showcases bring 2-4 indie rock bands through the intimate 300-person venue. Close to the stage, loud enough to feel it, small enough that every band treats it like their shot. The energy is electric, the sound system iconic, and your crew gets table seating to claim home base between sets. The whole experience runs about 3.5 hours. **The group: LYTT platform** LYTT forms small groups for events and activities you pick. 1\. Click 'Attend' here on Meetup\, then head to [lytt.me](https://lytt.me/meetup/indie-rock-horseshoe) to create a quick profile (photo, a few interests, short bio) 2\. Browse others who applied and select who you'd want to meet 3\. We form groups where the interest is mutual 4\. You get notified when your group is confirmed \- payment happens then 5\. Show up knowing your crew already picked you \- *but no one knows who picked who*, to keep mystery and low pressure Applying doesn't guarantee a spot - but we may form multiple groups or invite you to similar events with other crews. **What's included:** \- Entry to the showcase \- 2\-4 bands performing live \- Table seating for your group **Details:** **Cost:** $25 CAD cover. Drinks separate. **Time:** 8:00pm - 11:30pm **Location:** The Horseshoe Tavern, 370 Queen Street West, Toronto **Who this is for:** \- People who love live music \- Those who want to discover new bands with people who'll actually discuss them after \- Looking for friends\, dates\, or just better ways to spend a Saturday night **Questions?** hey@lytt.me **Proceed to register here:** [https://lytt.me/meetup/indie-rock-horseshoe](https://lytt.me/meetup/indie-rock-horseshoe)

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Our Fun Friday event just got better! Our event has been expanded to include your choice of TWO great films: EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT or SCREAM 7! EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT is directed by Baz Luhrmann and uses rare and previously unseen interviews and videos of Elvis in concert to create “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen!” SCREAM 7 assembles previous cast members and great newcomers for the next chapter of one of the most reliable horror franchises! In this film, a new Ghostface killer emerges with the daughter of Sidney Prescott becomes the next target. Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT uses rare and previously unseen interviews and concert footage to create “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen!” In addition to the stellar reviews, the film was runner up for the People’s Choice Award for Documentaries at the Toronto Film Festival. The film is earning a Certified Fresh 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes (and a 99% positive rating audiences)! The RT site declares, “Resurrecting Elvis Presley at the peak of his showmanship, Baz Luhrmann's truly epic concert documentary restores some joy into The King's legacy.” Film Threat adds, “The most beautiful thing about EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is that in connecting us so intimately to the man and showing him in all his complexity, Luhrmann cuts through the baggage we bring and gives us a fresh look at one of the most fascinating and accomplished musicians who has ever lived.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k SCREAM 7: This is an opening night showing of next chapter in one of the best and most reliable horror franchises! In this film, Sidney Prescott has built a new life in the quiet town of Pine Grove, Indiana, until a new Ghostface killer begins to target her daughter, forcing her to face her past to end the killings once and for all. The stellar ensemble case includes Neve Campbell, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Courteney Cox all reprising their roles from the previous films, along with Isabel May, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Asa Germann, Celeste O'Connor and Joel McHale! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsHBPYVFd3Y PLAN: For the bite before the show, BOTH GROUPS meet in the Bar Area at BRAVO at 5:00pm.
