1. Langhorne Slim with Ha Ha Tonka, Horseshoe Tavern (368 Queen Street West), $15
I've seen both of these artists before, and I highly recommend them. I've only see Langhorne Slim as an opener, so I am looking very forward to his full set.
Ha Ha Tonka - Hold My Feet to the Fire.mp3
Buy: Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South (2009)
Langhorne Slim - Be Set Free.mp3
Buy: Be Set Free (2009)
2. Bon Jovi with Kid Rock, Rogers Centre (1 Blue Jays Way)
I'm only advertising this show because I have seen tickets being offered for as low as $15. If you have $15 and you are bored you should see Langhorne Slim and Ha Ha Tonka. But if you want good people watching and overpriced beer, you should hit the Rogers Centre. If the above artists were on a different night, I would be there! Ohhh, we're half-way there. Ooooo-ooooo! Livin' on a prayer!

Jen dude - Felice Bros is on the 27th, and this list only goes through the 26th. Will post about the FBs next week!
OMG - I wish I can see a few of these!
thanks for the reminder about Ha Ha Tonka. Forgot all about that. I think you'd like the Speaking Tongues on Saturday at the Horseshoe. If you can't make that, they play around a lot and you should look out for them.
Felice Brothers will also play Bflo. next week.
(Mohawk Place=small venue)
If you travel, the Sadies are playing Artpark (Lewiston) Wed 4-Aug, free!
P.S. Thanx for relinquishing Kathleen Edwards for me.
