Their original music is their true passion. Their debut album “Sociable!” released in May 2015, and hit #4 nationally on community/college radio stations, including #1 positions on weekly Top 30 and folk charts.  Their sophomore album “Far From Shore” released July 2018 and received play on CBC stations around Canada, and again appeared on several college/community Top 30 and folk charts. During the Covid Pandemic, they released a collection of covers recorded during a live-stream event on their third album affectionately titled “LIVE”. (Albums are available for purchase through bandcamp, at live shows, and at most digital retailers).

They feature a dynamic fiddle performance with Bexy Ashworth and Liam McGlashon, the talented multi-instrumentalist/luthier Matti Palonen on tin whistle and double-bass (Matti also plays harp, kantele, mandolin, bandura, cello and jouhikko), Scot Allan on bodhrán (Scot also plays drums and other percussion), and Stephen Lamb on guitar and lead vocals. Best described as ‘engaging Celtic folk/rock’, they combine the sound of traditional folk instruments with a passionate intensity during fiddle tunes and sing-a-long pub rousers, and when the mood shifts to folk-style story-telling songs, the haunting melodies and warm vocals created by these musicians would ‘bring a tear to a glass-eye’.

They have been featured on 67 Music’s ‘The Celtic Music Journal’, been interviewed in Irish Music Magazine and appeared on several episodes of The Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. With their rendition of classic Celtic and east coast covers, traditional fiddle tunes, and a variety of original tunes, they often invite the audience to participate in a fun, energetic stage show that can be enjoyed by all.

We know there are a ton of Neil Young fans out there, that is why we cannot wait to welcome to the Linsmore Tavern’s (1298 Danforth Ave) stage for the first time After The Gold Rush – The Neil Young Experience! The last time we had a Neil Young Tribute night at the Linsmore, it was a different decade. So for all of our Neil Young fans, mark down Friday February 17th, as that’s when After The Gold Rush will be performing on our stage! Get your tickets now as this show will SELL-OUT! Advance tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door!

Neil Young is one of the most recognizable and enduring figures in modern music history. The combination of his totally unique voice, his deeply personal lyrics along with the wide range of instrumentation that he employs in creating his music makes for one of the most distinctive and compelling sounds in the world of popular music.

With a focus on Neil’s younger days, ‘After The Gold Rush’ brings the closest sonic and visual performance to the real experience available. It’s all there…the voice, the sound, the songs and the sights.

In theatre settings, an ‘After The Gold Rush’ show includes awesome 3D visual elements bringing to life the psychedelia of the early 1970’s west coast epoch. A virtual musical walk through of a very important time in popular music that should not be missed!

Saturday February 4th, the Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave), is bringing in one of the premier cover bands in the GTA, who we have heard so many good things about and are finally able to bring them in for a show! Covered in Paint will be in the house and after so many requests over the years, they are ready to bring their high-energy, fan-friendly set-list that we know you will love! This band does not head east of Yonge Street very often, so for those in the east-end, you can finally see them close to home! Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door!

With a set list that would, “kill most drummers,” Covered In Paint heads East to the legendary Linsmore Tavern for a show on Saturday February 4th, 2023. Covered In Paint has primarily been a west end band playing monthly at Roc N Doc’s and the Antler room but jumped at the opportunity to bring its brand of rock to the Linsmore Tavern. This four piece has a raucous set list that runs from AC/DC to ZZ Top, with a dash of Metallica in the middle. They also do newer stuff by the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age and Sublime. “If (a song) doesn’t kick, or if it seems self-indulgent, it (gets passed over),” says guitarist John Scheel. “We’d do Motor Head before Oasis.” “It’s a lot of energy,” adds fellow guitarist George Vasilakos. who grew up trading licks with his first cousin Phil X of Bon Jovi fame. The line up is filled out by George’s son bass prodigy Luke who also plays with up and coming bands Sticks and Stones and Pale Mare and Dean Carl Glover on drums of Groovestone and Jeff Healy fame.
