Part civic history and part memoir from this veteran scene-builder and co-founder of the acclaimed Wavelength concert series, Any Night of the Week charts the evolution of Toronto's diverse independent music scene in the latter half of the nineteenth century. From the Yorkville and Yonge Street scenes that spawned Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and The Band in the sixties, through to the hip-hop, indie rock, and electronica-laden nineties, which spawned acts like Broken Social Scene, Michie Mee, and Peaches, Dovercourt tells the story of how key venues, neighbourhoods, artists, and promoters laid the groundwork for this provincial outpost to grow into a music mecca. Unjustly forgotten or overlooked innovators, such as Syrinx, Martha & the Muffins, Fifth Column, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Phleg Camp, King Cobb Steelie, and Do Make Say Think are finally given the chance to tell their story in print.
