I think I saw this event in the past, and LiANA, my Songwriting Workgroup leader, just sent an email about it, and it’s right near my home, so I should really be going to it… The concert is sponsored by the Songwriters Association of Canada and features numerous singer/songwriters performing in a lead-off event for the Humber Songwriting Workshop.
The news release issued by Humber College last week states:
- TORONTO – A truly exceptional group of prominent singer/songwriters – including Jules Shear, Danny Michel, Shari Ulrich, Damhnait Doyle, Justin Gray, and Haydain Neale – will perform at the Bluebird North: Where Writers Sing and Tell concert kicking off this year’s Humber Songwriting Workshop.
