CONTEST! The Mountain & The Trees; Bird & Bear @ CMW
Jillian Freeman and Jon Janes
Yeah, it’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto right now, and although I don’t plan on attending the whole festival, I may catch a pair of gigs while I’m in the city this weekend. I’ve been inundated with emails for CMW and SXSW and have pretty much ignored them since I wasn’t planning on attending either, but I thought I would take this 4FTW post about the artists I’d like to check out.
There’s a connection between the two acts I’m highlighting today, and anyone who’s been reading QBiM for the last year won’t be a stranger to either. Jon Janes is essentially The Mountains & The Trees, and he has a showcase gig tonight at midnight at The Central (603 Markham Street). Then tomorrow night, Bird & Bear (essentially Jillian Freeman accompanied by Janes) has a gig at Global Village Backpackers (460 King Street W) at 11:00 p.m. This pair of Newfoundlanders make a very cute couple musically (and perhaps romantically??) and they each have an excellent EP out right now that have been on pretty constant rotation ’round here. I just so happen to have a set of the EPs to give away, so if you;re looking to score them, drop me an electronic line at CONTESTS [AT] QUICKBEFOREITMELTS [DOT] COM with “Mountains and Tress and Bird and Bear” in the subject line and your mailing address in the body. We’ll keep the contest short and sweet, closing it out at 11:59 PM Monday March 15, 2010.
