SUMMARY:2nd Fridays: DECEMBER
DESCRIPTION:December 12\, 2025 – 7:00 pm\nPWYC \n2nd Fridays: DECEMBER\n2nd Fridays is a series that builds community\, where artists can take risks in a supportive environment and where we strip the stuffiness out of the concert hall and turn it into the city’s most interesting living room. Less a concert; more a house party\, where the bands just happen to be a collection of the most talented and adventurous players in the country. \nThis time\, we’re presenting three fantastic acts: Sarah Laur Trio\, Never Was\, & Ladyfinger! \nWitness beautiful\, intelligent\, and dangerous minds at play. The bar is open. The rules are set aside (except for the fire code- we can’t do anything about that)\, and though it is FREE to attend\, any donations you make will go directly to the performers. The future of Canadian music is being forged at the CMC\, just after hours this time. \nNo gods. No masters. Only sound. \nVenue:\nCanadian Music Centre\n20 St. Joseph St.\nToronto\, ON M4Y 1J9
