YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hey ya'll. This is another question in a multiple segment series of stupid questions you may expect to hear from the "new guy." Anyways, who likes bluegrass? Raise your hands. That being said, if you answered yes, you can put your hand down and help me out with this one question.Where is the Bluegrass in TO?* I've hear,d through word of mouth, of some "silver nickel," or something involving both a form of metal and currency, that hosts bluegrass nights. Somewhere around College and Bathurst on Spadina? I dunno. If you do. Tell me.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You're thinking of the Silver Dollar, it's above the Comfort Zone... There used to be some weekly bluegrass there (possibly Creaking Tree String Quartet?). I have no idea if it still happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Silver Dollar is the club.I believe 'Crazy Strings' plays on wednesdays.http://www.silverdollarroom.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 The Silver Dollar on Spadina, just north of College on the west side. Every Wednesday the band Crazy Strings plays traditional bluegrass. The kid on guitar is unbelievable and the main dude on mandolin is equally impressive. It's free and for some reason, the band attracts a large lesbian crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think you mean The Silver Dollar Room, on Spadina, just North of College.If you like bluegrass-ish music, you should definitely check out Creaking Tree String Quartet. It's more "new" than "blue", as far as grass goes, but it's great stuff. They used to hold down a regular Tuesday (IIRC) gig, but don't seem to have any shows scheduled at the moment.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You used to be able to see bluegrass just about every night of the week in Toronto. I've lost track though. Crazy Strings on wednesday is a good start.Also keep your eye on a place called 'Tranzac' they have a lot of bluegrass there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
