About the show

Join Randy Renaud every Sunday night from 7 to 9 in The Black Cat Alley for CHOM's ultimate Blues show.

We'll have the Alley painted green for St. Patty's celebrations, and emerald-blues from Irish bluesmen Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, and Van Morrison.

March 21:

The BCA ushers in spring with some mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful blues (credit to ee cummings for that) to help your inner flowers bloom.

The spirit of Woodstock lives on, or hopes to be resurrected in Toronto this summer with a huge music and arts event planned by Artie Kornfeld, the music executive and promoter who co-organized the original famed festival back in 1969 at Max Yasgur’s farm in upstate New York. The Florida resident has teamed with Montreal artist David Kam to put together a show unlike anything the city has seen before, combining music with efforts to achieve world peace, fight poverty and raise awareness of climate change.

Like 2003’s “SARS-stock,” the Imagine Music Festival will be at Downsview Park, but this time the crowds would commune for two days, on July 10 and 11.
