#TMLX13 is Thursday from 6-9pm at Great Lakes Brewery (30 Queen Elizabeth Blvd) and I'm trying to mimic the vibe of our recent park gatherings. There's no live recording or band, just a good bunch of people collecting to enjoy fresh craft beer and delicious Palma Pasta. I sincerely hope you can make it.
I am curating an FOTM playlist for this event. 3 hours of music performed by artists who have guested on Toronto Mike'd. I'm not picking my favourite song from each artist, but one of their bigger jams, designed for mass appeal. Here's my initial stab at it, and it's still about 90 minutes too long. More cuts are needed...
