We lost Jane Vasey far too soon ...

I saw David Bradstreet at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1971. I still haven't heard a more poignant love song.

One more obscure, but no less great, Canadian song ...

Apologies if already posted, but I dare anyone to find a more moving and nationally relevant concert. RIP Gord Downie.

I know we don't agree on much, but on this we certainly do. Caught him at the Calgary Folk Festival some years ago and it was a delight.

Anybody into Godspeed! You Black Emperor? Montreal post-rock collective. 20 minute apocalyptic songs with guitars and violins.

Also, I used to adore a Toronto band called Moxy Fruvous that used to play at Styleen's Rhythm Palace in Syracuse a lot. 4 members standing side-by-side, including the drummer (very Velvets-like).

I remember Moxy Früvous. They were ... different. I was sad to see the demise of Jian Ghomeshi.
