Acoustic & Interactive Series Part II: Cougars & Cat Ladies Edition:
An all acoustic, co-headlining singer-songwriter series showcasing the top performers and venues in the downtown Toronto core.

After a very successful April 2013 series launch at the Drake Underground in the Queen West neighborhood of Toronto, the second part of the series brings an all female bill comprised of four ladies who have made waves and marks throughout their Canadian careers.

Part one of Acoustic & Interactive brought performances at the Drake Underground by Todd Clark, Gavin Slate, Trish Robb and founder of the series Jessica Mitchell, showcasing some of the best songwriting and stage presence known to the Toronto area. The intimate explanations of the birth of their songs, interaction with the crowd, surprise special guests and joint performances by the artists themselves set the bar high for future parts of the series.

This time around, the stunning alt-country writer and songstress Emma-Lee, A Song of My Own creator and folk beauty Robyn Dell’Unto, the entertaining and powerful soul singer Stacey Kay and Jessica Mitchell performing solo and hot off her writing trip to Nashville, TN will make for an evening of laughter, emotional performances and surprise guests. The show will feature individual sets, with an intimate “round” songwriter’s circle capping the night off.

The show will team up with the Ladybird Animal Sanctuary of Southern Ontario to raise money for animal rescue and awareness. The charity was founded by Lisa Winn, Melissa McClelland and Janine Stoll, who are all well established musicians themselves. Silent auctions and a part of the proceeds will go to the charity.

Also making an appearance that evening will be that of the Voyageur guitar by founder of Six String Nation, Jowi Taylor. The ladies will all have an opportunity to become a part of Canadian history by playing and sharing the story of the guitar with the crowd.

This showcase will take place at the intimate and beautifully sonic Queen Street venue The Rivoli on Thursday, June 6th, 2013. Tickets will be available at the door for $10. Set times and information about doors will be available shortly.
