Intimate and Interactive: Kim Davis
Posted by Karen | Leave a Comment
If you’re a Toronto artist, I think it’s in your best interest to check out (at least one time) Tika Simone presents: Intimate & Interactive a weekly open mic showcase. The musical vibe coupled with an intimate setting will give any artist the opportunity to be really heard and any real music lover the opportunity to truly hear what these artist have to offer. The crowd interaction from both audience and artist alike (minus the artist ego) can only make Intimate & Interactive a great foundation for a consistent artist showcasing.
I checked out I & I (invited by Ms Tika herself) about two weeks ago for two reasons; to see what was soooo different about this open mic in comparison to other’s around the city and secondly, to show support to friend and one of three headliner’s Wolf J Mcfarlane (I introduced him here). For one, the opening acts were asked to “bring the business” as per Tika requirements and bring the business they did. One gentleman in particular stood out – O’Sound – not sure what the O stands for but that’s a question for later. He had this melodic, almost church-like R&B – not pop R&B – but Teddy Pendergrass-like R&B sound that confirmed this man could really sing! Opening act’s like O’sound weren’t just given a chance to perform ~ they had to audition to gain an opening spot (hence the quote bring the business). If you’re good, you open for well known Canadian artist like Eric Flowchild and Kim Davis etc. But if you’re really good, you may just get a chance to open time and time again. So the difference with I & I? There’s no walking up on stage and grabbing the mic Kanye style…this ish is purely based on talent.
So, I confirmed that this “little engine that could” (once again Tika’s words…lol) had many deserving passengers on this train. I was able to sit back and watch the more established folks (headliners) do their thing. I repeat myself constantly but the QUALITY of music that is oozing out of this city, is utterly ridiculous and each headliner had their individual something special to offer. Unsigned or not these three gentlemen: Wolf J, KJ & Blake Carrington are something to look out for. KJ’s REPEAT (lmao inside joke), Blake Carrington’s LOVE IS A RISK and Wolf J’s GRIZZLY BEARS PANDA gave you a show worth much more than the $10.00 cover charge.
So if you’re not feeling to do the club thing on a Friday night, or you’re a Manager looking for some really good talent, or just want to chill and have a few drinks but most importantly you’re a new artist looking for a place to shine!…..Intimate & Interactive at Lambadina Lounge is the spot.
