Flamboyant Folk, Giant Guitar and Flexy Ferocity Flaming Through Today's Orbit

Edmonton's Braden Gates got large and loose at the Canadian Folk Awards last weekend. Mid-set, he dragged his chair out of the cage of microphones to the proscenium frontier, teetered towards the audience with singalong challenges and spacey patter, and sat the room right in his lap to play them some songs. He's in town now and will be expanding exponentially in the Orbit today at 5:30, with fiddle and guitar and tracks from his album Much Rather Be Sleeping.


 With a new album of hot and earthy carnival-rock guitar that calls up a mid-summer midnight midway, shape shifting guitar avatar Kevin Breit is back in his new persona as Johnny Goldtooth and The Chevy Casanovas.
Kevin will be in Orbit at 6:00 and presenting Johnny Goldtooth at Lula Lounge
 this Sunday 
the 26th
 at 8 p.m. 

Admission: $15 Dinner reservations guarantee seating. Please call 416.588.0307 

And at the fulcrum of Toronto R&B flex, a new and tightly packed band of devotees to the groove arises ~ The Achromatics. 

They have an unequivocal imperative to deliver: Give Me The Beat, and it will be served next Wednesday at west end dance palace Hugh's Room Live with big horns and greasy B3 trimmings. Burning up the Orbit at 6:30 live.
