The Ultimate Music Experience in Toronto

December 7, 2018 53 Comments

As a music aficionado, I definitely picked the right city to live in! Toronto has it all – amazing homegrown and visiting talent, iconic concert halls and plenty to see and do between shows. So, when Google Canada reached out last month and invited me to embark on the ultimate music experience in my home city, I knew I was in for a treat!

Follow my guide below to enjoy your very own ultimate music experience in Toronto!

Morning

First, book a hotel!! (or commute in early)

I’m not a morning person by any means, so Google Canada was kind enough to hook me up with a stay at the gorgeous Four Seasons Hotel in Yorkville. Staying here has been on my bucket list for years. The property and rooms are simply stunning and you’re just minutes away from great shopping, attractions and music venues (crucial for this kind of experience!).

Next stop, food for fuel!

My girls Afra (left), Rebecca (right) and I LOVED our delicious brunch!

After lounging around and getting ready while blasting tunes on YouTube Music, my friends and I trekked over to Kōst for brunch. This delightful hidden gem is located on the 44th floor of the new Bisha Hotel in Toronto on Blue Jays Way. The atmosphere is really bright and the dishes are fresh and unique. We all ordered sandwiches; I got the California burger with fries, which was delicious. (If you’re not a spicy/tangy kind of person, I’d recommend getting it without the tomato relish.) I can’t wait to come back in the summer when the outdoor seating is open!

PHOTOS: BROODS and Erik Hassle Bring The Evergreen Tour to Toronto

BROODS and Erik Hassle at The Danforth Music Hall

An act that I have really been digging lately is BROODS, the brother-sister music duo from New Zealand who were catapulted into mainstream success with their hit 2014 single “Bridges” and stint opening for Sam Smith on tour.

BROODS are currently out on a headlining North American tour, the Evergreen Tour, in support of their debut album. They brought Swedish singer/songwriter Erik Hassle along to the first night of the second leg of the tour this past Friday, March 20 at Toronto’s The Danforth Music Hall.

Enjoying the concert from the front row, I was able to get some amazing photos of BROODS and Erik doing what they do best. If you weren’t able to be there in person, or just want to relive the incredible night, scroll through my photos!

[CLOSED] GIVEAWAY: The Janoskians in Toronto on October 5

September 30, 2014 No Comments

Beau Brooks, Jai Brooks, Luke Brooks, Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni – collectively known as The Janoskians (Just Another Name Of Silly Kids In Another Nation) – are a group of friends who have amassed a large and dedicated fan following by posting comedy videos on YouTube. The guys, who originally started posting videos in 2011, have over 1.7 million YouTube subscribers – or “Janoskianators” – as well as more than 200 million combined views. Their success has got them a movie deal with Lions Gate Entertainment, and to top it all off, they have even released 4 singles – but don’t make the mistake of calling them a boy band!

The Janoskians are bringing their music, hilarious jokes, pranks, skits and “disruptive content” on the road for their second world tour, the ‘Got Cake Tour’, which stops at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall on Sunday, October 5.
