About Wavelength Winter Festival 2024: “East to West”
Wavelength Winter Festival 2024 follows a stellar 2023, in which the long-running organization presented some of its most successful shows while also expanding into research and development projects, such as the acclaimed Reimagining Music Venues report. Among the many findings of that study, co-authored by Wavelength’s Jonathan Bunce and the University of Toronto’s Daniel Silver, was that 85% of live music activity in Toronto is concentrated in the downtown west-end.
The format of this year’s Winter Fest returns to its roots as a three-day celebration of Wavelength’s anniversary. The venues Wavelength has selected stretch across downtown Toronto geography from “East to West” — and while music venues remain under threat of closure, this year’s festival highlights new, renewed or innovative live spaces. The festival kicks off on the auspicious leap-year date of Feb. 29 in the east end at the new location of Hugh’s Room Live, the folk club which relocated to a church on Broadview Avenue while reinventing itself as a charity. A panel discussion entitled “East to West: Meet Toronto’s New Music Spaces,” co-hosted with the City of Toronto’s Music Office, will showcase some of the new venues or spaces that have opened recently, followed by performances by Just Prince and Beams.
The action then moves to the Hart House Music Room at U of T for a hip-hop/R&B-centric lineup headlined by nonbinary emcee DijahSB on Friday March 1st. And the Winter Fest wraps up with a two-floor Saturday night DIY extravaganza at St. Anne’s Parish Hall in the west end, anchored by Arts & Crafts indie singer/songwriter Georgia Harmer upstairs and psych-rockers Kali Horse downstairs — and showcasing a 3D spatialized sound system by Adamson.
