G33KPRON’s Guide To Canadian Music Week: March 22

Canadian Music Week is back! Now in its 31st year, music fans can cover 1000 bands across 60 venues here in Toronto and if you haven’t picked your must-see’s you could be in trouble. Luckily though, you’re reading this and I’ve made it a little easier, narrowing it down to the 13 gigs I wouldn’t miss if I were you. So keep reading (and listening!) and tell me what shows you’ll be catching during the 6 day festival.
