As part of our mission to support Canadian artists, this post is to bring attention to a local musician from Toronto, by the name of Glen Hornblast. He has a kind of Van Morrisson rock acoustic blues sound, and has a clear strong voice and plays his guitar with clarity. I have had the pleasure to hear him play several times at Dave's Pizza on St. Clair, http://www.davesonstclair.com/
a neighborhood restaurant, that attracts a nice acoustic western/blues crowd every Thursday evening.
Last night we also heard Amanda play auto harp, an instrument that found its time in the late 70's. She played a blues song with great style, as well she played piano and sang beautifully. Other musicians such as Alan played the tin whistle and played piano simultaneously. The stage flowed nicely, as artists rotated throughout the evening, and a wide variety of styles were displayed.
However, the musician of the night was Glen Hornblast who will be releasing his first CD in 30 years at the Winterfolk X, at Monarch's Pub located at the Delta Chelsea Hotel, 33 Gerrard St. W. February 19th at 6:00 pm. Apparently there will be four bars humming with various musicians at the same time on that night. Glen sang a couple of Van Morrison songs, while being backed up by some great musicians, and superb harpist, Peter. Glen, has previously led the jam last week, when uncle Herb was in hospital. This group is friendly and cohesive as they support and rally and jam together in a beautiful cooperative flair that truly shows the beautiful harmony of the Toronto multi cultural theme.
For an evening of charm and acoustic grace, check out Glen Hornblast CD release at Monarch's Pub at the Delta Chelsea Inn.
Rock On,
The Adventure Guy
