1. Outside Music have just released a compilation of now-defunct alt-folk quartet
Royal City
’s b-sides and rarities. To celebrate, former members of the band (
Evan Gordon
and
Nathan Lawr
) plus friends
Gentleman Reg
,
Jenny Omnichord
,
Woolly Leaves
and many others take to the Tranzac stage tonight to perform their favourite RC songs. 292 Brunswick Ave. $10. 8pm.
2.
Sunparlour Players
are comprised of a former Mennonite choir boy, a classically trained clarinetist and a punk-rock drummer. And that’s not all — at tonight's release party for the local roots-rock trio’s second album,
Wave North
, expect to hear them tackle banjo, bass, glockenspiel, bells, whistles and “other stuff too.” Horseshoe Tavern (370 Queen W.). $10. 10pm.
3. Like many practitioners of true-school soul music,
last week's EYE WEEKLY covergirl
Sharon Jones
cut her teeth in church, singing joyful noise unto the lord — and you can tell. But beyond her commanding vocal delivery, Jones has the passion and presence of a fire-and-brimstone preacher. She’s a missionary, looking to spread the good word about something she believes in with evangelical faith. Jones and her trusty Dap-Kings bandmates make their much anticipated appearance at the Toronto Jazz Festival tonight. Mainstage Concert Theatre, Nathan Phillips Square, 100 Queen W. $35 from
Ticketmaster
.
4. Imagine Danger Mouse going back in time to produce Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly smoothie-funk soundtrack and you’ll have an idea what you’re in for with England’s
The Heavy
. The band hits Supermarket (268 Augusta) tonight. $17.50 from
Ticketmaster
.
5. Don’t go see
Sonny Rollins
because he’s a legend, or because he’s pretty good for a 78-year-old. Go see him because, to this very day, he can produce a fleet-footed run of melodic bebop wizardry that none of his acolytes have yet been able to match. Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen W. $45-$107 from
Ticketmaster
. 8pm
