Colonel Tom's twang summit @ Canadian Corps Hall Saturday night

Sure the G20 Summit has turned the Toronto city centre into a ghost town but Colonel Tom Parker isn't going to let the gathering of world leaders and the threat of widespread outbursts of giant bobblehead street theatre get in the way of a brew-hoisting good time this Saturday (June 26) and neither should you.

So Colonel Tom is putting on a twang summit of his own at the Canadian Corps Hall (201 Niagara) where he'll be deftly accompanied by his countrified fellow Lickin' Good Fried members as Colonel Tom & The American Pour and joining them on the bill are the seriously scorching local instro-mentalists Ancient Chinese Secret led by the six-string slinger deluxe Brian Connelly of Shadowy Men notoriety.
As if that wasn't enough to raise the roof already, DJ Phil Metric will be spinning a suitably unhinged assortment of roughneck rockabilly, hayseed honky tonk, greasy jukebox R&B and some other juvenile junk to keep the party poppin' between sets. You won't need a special badge to get in and that economically priced Corps beer will be as cold as Dalton McSpendy's fiscal policy. Tell a friend. Admission is $10 and doors open at 9:30 pm. For more information, call 416-504-6694.
