Late Nights at The Rex: Musings About a Unique Toronto Venue
The live music venue is known for its retro-chic décor, and of course, the infamous and by-now-beloved pillar in the middle of the dining area. It’s this unique modern-yet-historical charm that makes it so distinct – and so popular as a late-night hangout spot. For many years it’s been a central venue for the TD jazz festival. Why wouldn’t it be, given that it’s such a household name? Believe it or not, though, The Rex started out from seriously humble roots. In 1960, Bob Ross bought out the cute but unremarkable United Clothing Store and converted it into an expanded bar, which quickly attracted an audience. Around 20 years later, as Queen Street West became increasingly hip, Ross realized that he had better keep up with the times if he wanted to boast a poppin’ venue for local clientele. Initially he hosted mainly pro-alt-country and rockabilly music, genres that are scarcely recognizable today. But all that was soon to change.
https://livemusicguide.ca/ printed in LIVE MUSIC GUIDE newspaper

#originalmusic #CanadianBands #CanadinMusic
#MusicCanada #TorontoMusic
In the early days of the venue, Bob Ross would shut down early, go to the nearby jazz bar Bourbon Street & Basement Street, and chillax with the musicians till the early hours of the night. Eventually they started showing up at the Rex between sets – mostly for the bargain drinks. So it was a combination of sociability and business savvy (read: cheap beer) that lay down the roots of The Rex as we know it today.
One seemingly ordinary night, Canadian saxophonist DT Thompson was playing down the street. After a set, the jazz musician strutted in casually, playing “When The Saints Go Marching In” while prancing around the bar. Eventually he found his way to the bar, and requested a rye and coke for his impromptu entertainment. Ross was seemingly more amused than anything, because from that day forward the venue has been known predominantly for its jazz and blues shows.
The bar has been renovated many times over the years, but none of the changes have modernized it so much as to take away its characteristic and unmistakable Old Toronto feel. The bar is still owned by Bob Ross, and now he has his grandson Avi around to manage it with him. Tom Tytel took over booking in the 90s, and he’s been the go-to guy ever since. The Rex may be a bar, but it seems to be equal parts a family.

Bloor News Announces a New Feature: livemusicguide.ca
Check it out for all things music in Toronto, including Open Mic listings, maps to live music venues, featured local singers/musicians and music news and reviews.
The entertainment and writing communities were saddened to learn of the passing of Gary Webb-Procter aka ‘Gary17’, widely respected musician, critic and Editor of East York Chronicle late last year. Gary’s death didn’t just leave a hole in the hearts of his friends, family, readers and fans, it left a hole in the music scene. Gary took the spotlight off the bands we had already heard of and gave the lesser-known acts a chance to shine. Without his reviews, the Linsmore Tavern wouldn’t be a mecca for up-and-coming musicians, and we would never have heard of or from some incredible talent. The talent of the future deserves the same recognition that their predecessors gained from Gary’s pieces. Reviewing live music isn’t easy nowadays, but as vaccination rollouts continue, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We are proud to offer our services. These are big shoes to fill, but we hope we can honour Gary’s memory by doing it justice.

We look forward to discovering hidden gems and introducing our readers to the creative talent of the future.

The free show will feature surprise artists whose identity will be revealed only at the start of the performance. “We were looking for an original way to draw attention to our event – to get the word out,” explained Luci Tremblay, communications director for Festival d’été de Québec. “Pop-Up FEQ shows will be part of our promotional efforts in Toronto, a market that we’ve been developing over the past few years.” The Toronto event will be presented in collaboration with the Québec City Tourism Bureau and Sirius XM, who will record the performance for broadcast on its network at a later date.
Fans are encouraged to watch Festival d’été de Québec’s social media networks for hints and clues on the time, location – and possibly even the stars– of future Pop-Up FEQ events. An official hashtag has also been created for the series – #PopUpFEQ – and attendees are encouraged to share their experiences at the events on their own social networks. Following the Toronto date, Pop-Up FEQ will move to Québec City, where similar surprise performances will be unveiled in the coming months as well as during the Festival itself.
“We’re proud to work with Festival d’été de Québec in promoting the cultural vitality in the Québec City area. The pop-up concerts are a tantalizing preview of the many shows and cultural events on offer this summer at one of North America’s most unique destinations,” added André Roy, director of the Québec City Tourism Bureau.
Festival d’été de Québec celebrates its 48th anniversary in 2015 with performances by The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Keith Urban, Iggy Azalea – and many more – at Québec City’s historic Plains of Abraham.

NXNE 2014 Wed Music Festival Toronto Pics
The Ian Fays
Nice people – they were already finished, when i got to the “Boat”
The baby plays the drums!
The Van Allen Belt
Had a video running behind them that was by itself a wonderful work of art. Could have used a little less bass rumble.
The Girl can sing and the band was a man with a computer, with another guy with a keyboard. Above average for the “Indie Music Biz” but played to 15 people. Sad waste of time for a group to travel so far and not to be promoted. See pic below
Old and Weird
these Cute young girls played to a busy bar across the street. And made better by the province of NOVA SCOTIA
But sadly badly off key singing made them miss my top ten … please get better
Monomyth
Right on after the girls — these boys could sing — packed house — nice to see so many “young people”
maybe there is hope of live music after all. your usual “indie Music Stuff” nothing outstanding in songwriting dept
Fevers
Both singers could hold a note, but were usually lost in the mix. Great lights, above average in the “indie Music Stuff”
had great energy — but only got a “c-” in songwriting. too bad indie music people do not go to class about writing good
pop hooks — you know the song that drives you nuts — in your head — you need to hear it again

NXNE 2013 Toronto Music Review
NXNE MUSIC REVIEW
After perusing the gig-guide, I decided to begin my 2013 Canadian Music Week festivities at the cozy, yet spacious Drake Underground for “Music From Ireland Presents” to check out a couple of bands from Dublin. The company presenting the music offered a free CD sampler of the bands they work with, which I took and thanked them for enthusiastically. It’s a great way to leave some of their music behind for fans in other parts of the world.

MUSIC: Beaches’ Jazz Fest: Liona Boyd
It was the perfect summer afternoon with blue skies and a comfortable 23 degrees celcius as people young and old gathered around the main stage at Kew beach. Anticipation mounted for the first lady of guitar, Liona Boyd, to take the stage. Once again residing in Toronto and with a new album “Return To Canada, With Love” set to be released in the new year, Liona graced the stage just after 3:30pm. Accompanied by fellow classical guitarist and Toronto local Michael Savona , the show started off with a classical composition entitled “ Spirit Of The Canadian North Lands” . This was the first taste of a performance chock full of odes to the great white north. Liona Boyd is a reminder of the phenomenal talent our country has to offer. Liona has performed for royalty, for presidents and prime ministers and has performed with such talents as Yo Yo Ma and Eric Clapton. She has performed on The Tonight Show and received both the order of Canada and the order of Ontario. Her illustrious career has brought her to seven continents, performing for audiences all over the world.
Following a diagnosis of focal dystonia, Liona had to change the way she plays guitar. During this period she developed her singing and song writing abilities which is evident in her current music. She now incorporates many folk elements. Liona has an ethereal presence and her music tells a story, whether she is singing about her own personal history or about a Canadian icon such as Emily Carr. One of the more poignant moments was a beautiful song entitled “Living My Life Alone”. A bittersweet song she dedicated to the single people in the audience, it was a very honest reminiscence of the could have beens in life, with a brief mention of her romance with Pierre Elliot Trudeau at the age of 21. A line from the song goes “Who would have thought at this time I’d still have no place to call home. Who would have thought at this time I’d be living my life alone”. It is apparent that Liona Boyd has put reflection in to the events that have shaped her. She talked a lot about Toronto, the city she now once again calls home. “Toronto, I knew you long ago….Toronto, I’ve missed you so”.
Her new album will include a song called “Canada, My Canada” a song that features Jann Arden and was written with the knowledge that there are not enough national patriotism songs being sung in schools across the country. The performance finished with Liona telling the audience “thank you for bringing me home”. Canada welcomes you back with open arms.
