Days like this Friday June 18 is why I love Guelph and its incredible music scene so much!  There is so much live music going on that it barely fits in my calendar.  All this doesn't even include the countless cover bands and other various bar bands that are likely performing around the city!
Starting at noon as part of the Downtown Guelph Business Association free Friday noon hour concerts, Doug Larson and his Guelph Guitar Project is playing at St. George's Square.  These Friday noon hour concerts run all Summer long!
Friday night we've got my friends The Folk & Modern Field Recordings playing at the Ward Skatepark over on Victoria Road.  These are a couple of great young Guelph bands.  Show them some love!
Making the trek in from Toronto, The Craft Economy play a free show at the Jimmy Jazz with Man Missile.
Then we've got Richard Laviolette & The Oil Spills (also of Guelph) with the Dinner Belles playing the old Red Chevron Club.  I would *love* to see this show, mostly because it's Richard, and because it's at the Red Chev, but that takes me to the final show of the night and where you'll find me:
The Library Voices, Young Galaxy & The Besnard Lakes play the eBar.  I've been excited about and eagerly awaiting this show for a few months now.  If you haven't heard of these 3 bands, I've written a bit more about them here.
All this brings me back to the title of this post.  This Friday there are 11 bands playing that I know of.  There are more I'm sure.  Get out there!  Check out some of these great bands playing in our back yard!  Check out one at least!  Try it.  You might like it.
I'll be looking for you.
