Part of the residency Ayal Senior and Friends
Southern Cross
"Ayal Senior & Friends warmly returns to the Southern Cross Room at the legendary Tranzac in the heart of glorious mid-town Toronto, for a very special, spring edition of the never duplicated, award-winning, psychedelic vaudeville, battle of the network stars, underground variety show for higher-being (and some lower) life-forms. Esq. When the final page is written, & the ink has dried over the finest of the duelling guitarists of the 6 & 12 string in 21st cent. bar music, one can only imagine that the names Ayal Senior & Kurt Newman will surely be amongst those of SVR, B.B. & T-Bone. As Senior & Newman craft their inevitable 'Fourth Songbook' LP, their mysterious third LP, 'Yutori' remains imminent, w/ an as-yet unknown release date. Inquiring minds will leave satisfied knowing that any schlep downtown on the TTC must include a visit to see & hear these two 'six-string maniacs' burn down the southern cross room!! join in! https://nashvilleminimalismunit.bandcamp.com https://ayalsenior.bandcamp.com/album/ora JOYSHAPE is the poetic, experimental dance-pop unit led by Toronto’s Zoë Alexis-Abrams! on a personal note, it was super rad catching them last month w/ sympathetic string band cats!
