Artist
Julian Fauth has been one of the busiest, if not best-paid, bluesmen around Toronto for the last few years. He's played rooms where no other pianist would venture, sometimes playing for hours and hours without a break. If there was no piano he would bring one. If there was no room for a piano, he'd bring a guitar. He just never stopped playing and now it's paying off big time with multiple Maple Blues Award nominations and a shoe-in for a Juno nomination and the national recognition he deserves. Hear Julian opening for Little Dave Thompson at the TBS Christmas Party and Volunteer Appreciation Night at the Silver Dollar Saturday December 10, at Grossmans on December 9 and every Tuesday night with James Thomson at Gate 403 and at numerous other venues around town.
