Among our special guests are esteemed Canadian writers Clifton Joseph, Gianna Patriarca, Valentino Assenza, Justin Lauzon, and Slava Slapenshine, who are reading from the their most recent work; and two very special artists, Darius King and Scout Bostley, are performing their poem ‘Lost Voices’, which has become a viral sensation on Youtube.

Hear Here is a volunteer non-profit arts collective promoting literacy and the arts community in Toronto. Our goal is to organize popular, culturally significant events at different locations around the city. Each event involves bringing together local artists working in a variety of mediums, designing a dynamic space wherein to showcase their work, and collaborating to create an experience that is as enriching as possible to a broad demographic of patrons. 

Why are we so special? Hear Here is a roaming Salon: each event is held in a different location around Toronto (office towers, commercial areas, store fronts, lobbies) but the precise location will not be released until shortly before the event. Instead, to give you a hint as to the hidden location, our Be Here page will be changing on a regular basis. As the event draws ever closer, the map of Toronto will gradually zero-in on Hear Here's new address. After each event, the map will return to show Toronto in full and then repeat the process for the next event's new location.

THE LOST FINGERS

By exercising remarkable musicianship, heavenly vocals and creative arrangements, along with a keen sense of humor and eccentric fashion, this quartet transforms pop/rock music classics performed in a Django gypsy jazz style with a hint of blue grass. Their creativity and virtuosity allows them to take the listener on a entertaining music journey through everything from AC/DC to Earth, Wind and Fire to Michael Jackson to Deee-lite to Dolly Parton to Daft Punk. This is a remarkable, high energy and fun show
