Chevrolet Indie Fridays Kick Start the Weekend!


Zaki Ibrahim, August 4 at YDS

Where: Yonge-Dundas Square (YDS)
When: July 7 – September 8, every Friday night at 8pm
Cost: Free concert series

Details: This summer’s lineup for Indie Fridays, the free concert series in the heart of the city is a sure-fire way to add some flavour to Friday night with a musically diverse lineup that’s sure to tickle any music-lover’s fancy.

July 7, Indie Fridays kicks off with Turbo Street Funk, echoing a sound and performance style rooted in New Orleans horn band tradition. Headlining the evening will be Five Alarm Funk; the eight-piece band, direct from Vancouver, will hit YDS with an epic performance of heavy grooves and tons of fun.

July 14, Ria Mae will represent the other side of the country when the Halifax native brings her personal blend of pop melodies with alternative and folk music to Toronto. Before Ria Mae takes the stage, The Pick Brothers Band will fill the Square with a blend of compelling writing, dynamic arrangements, and a gritty rock and roll spirit.

July 21, The Pack A.D. will put Torontonians on edge because “the Pack won’t stop their mad pace of stealing every stage they play on“ (Exclaim!). Co-headliners, Ginger Ale & The Monowhales will be keeping with the theme of thievery when they steal the hearts of passers-by with their boundless energy and indie pop/rock tunes.

July 28, two-time Juno Award-winner, Derek Miller Band will bring their bluesy soul-stirring roots rock to YDS. Co-headlining the evening will be the multi award-winning Six Nations artist, Jace Martin who masterfully mixes the blues, R&B, soul, and funk to make a sound all his own.

August 4, “citizen of the world,” Zaki Ibrahim will find herself in the Heart of the Toronto at Yonge-Dundas Square, showing audiences why she’s a Juno-nominated R&B singer.

Indie Fridays continue through September 2 with Alx Veliz and Michelle Treacy (Aug 11), Hunter Siegel presents #NoNeon (Aug 18), Terra Lightfoot and Klooch (Aug 25), Exco Levi and High Priest and The Human Rights (Sep 1), and The Deep Dark Woods and Wildlife (Sep 8)!
