THE MAGIC
myspace
Solid gold hit song-writing and danceable beats make up the disco-soul powers of The Magic. Based in Guelph and Toronto, they are led by the interplay of vocalists Geordie Gordon (formerly of Salt Lick Kids and Barmitzvah Brothers) and Sylvie Smith (of Evening Hymns). They are joined by a cast of amazing musicians including Evan Gordon, Jordan Howard, and Aaron Curtis. Sometimes joined by a horn section and sometimes not, their live show is an energetic dance party that is not to be missed. After a bit of a break, The Magic return to Guelph to blow some minds with their energetic blend of disco and retro soul.

MAYLEE TODD & PEGWEE POWER
website & myspace
Maylee spreads infectious energy around like wildfire. With the vocal chords of an angel, charismatic stage presence and a string of soulful pop tunes, this bright, young spark is turning heads by reinventing tropical grooves. Maylee first gained national exposure as a guest vocalist on Woodhands singles “Dissembler” and “Dancer,” and through collaborations Henri Faberge and the Adorables. The group, which started as a solo act, with just Maylee on her harp, guitar and tenori accompanied by a looping station, now consists of Andrew Scott (synth) Eric Woolston (vibraphone & drums) and Chris Kettlewell (upright bass & accordion). Energetic and unpredictable, Maylee Todd and Pegwee Power are one of Toronto’s most exciting new acts.
