Cowboy Junkies

Details

Toronto’s alt-country and folk-rock legends make their long-awaited return.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 by Margo Timmins (vocalist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer), and Alan Anton (bassist). The Junkies first performed publicly at the Beverley Tavern and other clubs in Toronto’s Queen Street West, including The Rivoli.

Their 1986 debut album, produced by Canadian Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired "Whites Off Earth Now!!", recorded using an ambisonic microphone in the family garage.

The group’s fame spread with their second album, "The Trinity Session", recorded in 1987 at Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again using the ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock, and jazz earned them both critical attention and a cult following.

After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music.
