The Valerian Revue (2006 - 2007)


Frustrated by a music industry that seems willfully oblivious to the wealth of great indie talent (and beautiful music) under their noses, Ben ran a monthly showcase of new music for 18 months at Mitzi's Sister (1554 Queen St W, in Toronto). Featured artists included

Nick Zubeck
Brian MacMillan
Erika Werry
Karyn Ellis
Dan Goldman
Janine Stoll

Jude Haines
The Champion Heartache
Craig Robertson
Billy Holmes
Jeremy Giesbrecht
The Lake Vernon Drowning

...among a host of others.
