Any Night of the Week

Based on Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. History of Toronto Music 1957-2001 (Coach House Books, 2020), this podcast takes the listener on a virtual walking tour through Toronto’s most musical neighbourhoods, with stops at key sites in Toronto’s music history. Author Jonny Dovercourt illuminates how the various hotbeds of the music scene migrated through different neighbourhoods throughout the city, as clusters of music venues, sometimes along a single street, fostered new scenes and movements.

2.2 Scarborough

Nov 23, 2021

This sonic exploration of the east side of the city continues on into Scarborough, shining a light on the lesser-known musical history of the inner suburbs. We'll visit sites such as the Knob Hill Hotel and curling club the Broom and Stone - where acts for the ‘60s Yorkville scene played for suburban teens - and the shopping malls and high schools that cultivated old-school hip-hop, while exploring how live music can pop up in public space in unexpected ways.
