After relocating to the South Georgian Bay area Danny Michel decided to bring his 'School Night Monday' concert series to his new community in a weekly series of shows at Crow. Bar and Variety in Collingwood, Ontario.  I was fortunate enough to attend the second show in the Sold Out series of Mondays in March.  The concept behind the event is that it takes place on a  Monday night in a small venue with early start and end times.  It's a casual, intimate and fun night where Danny & his band perform and then introduce a surprise guest to play with them each week.  

Skye Wallace was the secret guest performer on March 12th and all I can say is 'WOW'.  If Robert Plant and Crissie Hynde had a love child that would be Skye Wallace.  She's an incredibly powerful performer not easily forgotten.  She performs in the area again on March 22nd at The Bruce Street Social and I would strongly advise getting tickets while they are still available.

As an event planner, when I go out, it's often the people behind the scenes of a great night who capture my attention.  I appreciate hosts who who have put effort behind crafting an amazing experience for their guests. A great host will plan the menu, the entertainment, the lighting and hundreds of other nearly imperceptible details but above all they will create a mood, a feeling, a moment.  Whenever I attend a concert at Crow. Bar and Variety I feel welcome, accepted and part of a community of food and music lovers.

If you were lucky enough to score tickets to this sold out concert series congratulations you're in store for a wonderful evening.  If you missed out, keep your fingers crossed that Danny & Crow. Bar will add more dates soon!
