Description
DAY ONES
19+ Event
Being a "day one" fan goes far beyond being the first to discover a musician. It embodies a sense of belonging. It means waiting until midnight to be the first stream on a new track, memorizing songs as if they are the missing part of you, and watching a star rise. It means being there. Join us for Day Ones, a national concert series showcasing the #CMIsupported artists that we’ve celebrated since Day One.
Day Ones will feature an all Toronto-based performance lineup including; 22-year-old Chinese Singer-Songwriter, Katherine Li, whose streams have totaled 85M on Spotify alone, Flo Olavarria, a pop-rock artist, songwriter, and producer who blends witty storytelling with infectious melodies, Seyblu, a R&B, jazz, and soul artist creating unforgettable live experiences, and finally, guitarist, singer-songwriter, Hiroki Tanaka.
Day Ones is made possible thanks to the generous support and partnership from the City of Toronto's Music Office and the Canadian Live Music Association's (CLMA) Setting the Stage program, supported by RBC.
