In our quest to support our Canadian artists, this blog would not be complete without a mention of Noah Zacharin, http://www.noahsong.com/ one of Toronto's most prolific acoustic guitar musicians, with 6 cd's and a weekly open mic now located at Trane Studio at 964 Bathurst Street near Davenport.
Known by his fans as Big Daddy Z, throughout our travels in the Toronto open mic scene all roads seem to point to Noah's gig as the best in class. Originally located in the Liberty Street Bistro, in the King and Dufferin area, this jam has relocated to Trane Studio in February of 2011.
The history of Noah's depth of music goes back many decades, as I remember him as a child, dabbling in music. His father had a keen interest in classical music, and like all great musicians, the environment spawned its disciple. Noah's fluidity on his acoustic guitar makes watching him a treat. He has the skill to surround himself with equally interesting support musicians, from piano to accordian etc. A poet, songwriter, and guitarist, Noah is the real deal when it comes to Toronto's music scene.
Amateur, professional, or retired professionals, seem to congregate at this jam. Worth the drive down Bathurst on a Wednesday eve. Jam starts at 8pm and goes to 11pm. the most civilized open mic hours in the city, for those urban professionals who may have a day job.
Rock On,
The Adventure Guy
