The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?
You know what is missing in all that? Activities where you can bring your kids to learn about music…meet the ‘artist’ to inspire them to go places. Catered to them, for them and they can have fun at the same time.
Good point, but you should know I didnt post everything that’s happening .. just picked out some highlights.
Last night I saw the doors open at Tom Lee Music on Granville St with bands playing for free. There are songwriter circles. The FanFest is a great event for kids to meet bands they like.
Hit up the official Juno website for more events.
