"Join us for a special edition of Norm’s Living Room as we celebrate what would have been the 75th birthday of beloved Canadian folk singer-songwriter Norm Hacking.

A fixture of Toronto’s folk scene for over 30 years, Norm was known for his songwriting craftsmanship, sharp wit, poetic insight, and deep sense of community. From acclaimed albums like Cut Roses and Stubborn Ghost to his work as a children’s author, columnist, and open stage host, Norm’s warmth and wisdom left a lasting mark on audiences and fellow artists alike.

Returning to the TRANZAC Club - where Norm’s Living Room was born - this tribute concert will bring together friends, fans, and collaborators to honour his music and memory.

Hosted by: Paul Corby & Ben Hacking Featuring: Laura Fernandez, Brian Gladstone, Howard Gladstone, Tim Harrison, Glen Hornblast, Jim Layeux, Brenda Lewis, Doug McClement, Steve Paul Simms, Tony Quarrington, Noah Zacharin, and more.

Come for the songs, stay for the stories. Let’s fill the room with the spirit Norm loved—open, generous, and full of heart."
