Johnny 99, aka City and Colour guitarist John O'Neil, sits in with the Empty Glasses at The Rivoli this afternoon from 3 to 6 pm.
Here's the scoop...
It's Country Sunday time again at the Rivoli pool hall this week. This time around the Empty Glasses are joined by Johnny 99 on vocals. You know him from City and Colour, and the Hippy Honky-tonk shows in Parkdale. We've convinced him to come downtown this Sunday and sing for the good folks at the Riv while Jamie takes a much needed weekend at the cottage.
See you there from 3-6, and remember it's family friendly! Check out a few clips of Johnny 99 doing his thing (below). For more information about Johnny 99's concert dates, session work and recordings, visit Johnny 99's official site right here https://johnny-99.com/.
