MagicLand, Dinner and a Showcase:
Vesuvius Music turns A Monday into an event
TORONTO, ON — Who says Mondays have to be boring? On September 14, Vesuvius Music Inc. is turning Toronto's historic Paradise Theatre into a one stop shop for film, food, and live music, and yes, you can do all three in one night.
Curated by filmmaker, broadcaster and Vesuvius Music co-founder Jaymz Bee, the day kicks off at 4pm with a screening of MagicLand, a feature film from Bee and co-director Jason J. Brown starring a cavalcade of Toronto's own musicians, comics and actors in cameo roles you'll be pointing at the screen for. Runtime is a tight ninety minutes, no filler. There's no post-show Q&A this time around, and that's by design: you've got a concert at 8pm, which means you've got just enough time to grab dinner, maybe brag to your table about who you spotted in the movie, and get back for the main event.
That main event is the annual Vesuvius Music Showcase, and it is, without exaggeration, the best two hours of live music you'll get on a Monday anywhere in this city. The lineup features label artists Denielle Bassels, Jocelyn Barth, Irene Torres, Taylor Abrahamse, Robert Priest and Serafin LaRiviere, backed by a house band that reads like a "who's who" of Canadian music: George Koller, Eric St-Laurent, Ewen Farncombe, Richard Underhill, Ben Wittman, Great Bob Scott and Jono Grant.
Tickets are $30 advance (www.vesuviusmusic.com) or $40 at the door.
This show sells out every single year. We are not being modest about that, we are warning you. If you're planning the full night, film, dinner, concert, don't leave your tickets or your restaurant reservation to chance.
