In the first of many to come, the \”Acoustic & Interactive\” series will showcase the abilities of the talented musicians dwelling inside and outside of Canada\’s biggest music market. \”I wanted to find a way to bring musicians together for a joint show, equal on all sides. No one is a \’supporting act\’, and everyone gets a chance to shine both solo, and together.\” Founder of the series, Jessica Mitchell of the Jessica Mitchell Band in Toronto says. \”I\’ve noticed a shift in the harmony of genres lately, and I felt as though collaboration through live performance is the most honest and creative approach.\” The collaboration aspect referred to, is the surprise of the artists performing with each other, for the crowd. The concept of working together to make it the best experience, with special guests along the way. The opening of the series will take place at one of the city\’s best known venues for sound, stage, and atmosphere: The Drake Underground.
