🎼 Hello music lovers! 🎸

Back in April, we had really hoped we’d be able to put on a great Homegrown Live this fall. We knew it wasn’t likely, but we hoped for it anyway. We’re going to hold out for a triumphant return to live music in our favourite downtown venues in 2021!

There is still lots of great music to be seen and heard at Musiikki, Blu Martini, The Mansion, Market Square, the Wharf and Feather and a few other spots around town, plus live streams from many of our favourite local musicians. Check ’em out and support ’em as best you can!

In the meantime, The Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Instrument Lending Library is still running and still has lots of bills to pay. If you can afford to throw a few bucks their way, please do!

As ever, thank you to our many amazing volunteers, including venue coordinators, musicians, and organizers for your hard work and passion. If we could do it this year, we couldn’t do it without you!

See you soon.
Love, Homegrown.
