Hard to believe it is 10 years ago today that I saw MAX for the first time at The Mod Club. I went to see him another 3 times, last I think in 2018. He has gone on to have a Top 20 pop hit, become a go-to songwriter for KPOP artists and has released 4 albums 🎶🎶

Despite having some throat issues, David Archuleta’s first Toronto solo show was a big success. He captivated the attentive audience with songs like “Creme Brûlée”, “Freedom” and of course “Crush”. And despite those issues he sounded great!!

Last night Fly By Midnight put on a show that was so tight it seemed like they had performed this set for years. I’d see them for a return show! They played all of my faves like “SuperFine”, “Divine Thing” and “Heart Race”. New song “Infinitely Falling” sounds like a smash to me!
