Bird City returns from the pandemic to Toronto

 

Bird City and Magpie poster 8.5 X 11 low res

It’s been two years since Bird City has played in a venue!  So it felt fitting for the return to be one of our favourite places.  Join the delightful Guelph bands “Magpie” and Bird City for an early show in the Southern Cross room of the Tranzac – 7:30-9:30pm, on Saturday April 30th.  A beautiful bird-themed show to begin the re-entry to playing music in a people-filled space.  We hope to see you there.

Life is Like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs

Life is Like Canadian Football

We’re so proud of our incredible Henry Adam Svec collecting his magical stories of folklore and Canadiana into his first novel, “Life is Like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs”

Fans of Label Fantastic will recognize many of the artists mentioned in this book, including our own Jenny Omnichord.

 

Henry has put together a themed playlist to go with the book, and it is incredible.  Check it out!

Bird City Returns for their Car – a one-way tour from the West

 

Bird City Returns for their car

It’s been eight months and Bird City is finally flying back to get their car.  Will everything go as planned?  We sure hope so!  But what’s a trip west without a tour?  A vacation?  We can’t have that!  We’ve set up some shows, in the hopes that we can fill up our gas tank along the way.  Hope to see you!.  And wish us luck!
