"The fascinating story of Canada's most revered concert hall and the myriad artists who have graced its stage.
Known for its intimacy and sense of occasion, a night at Toronto's Massey Hall is magical for audiences and performers. For many musicians, playing the hall is the surest sign they have made it. Looking out over the crowd, performers often comment that they feel they have joined history as they stand on the stage where Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and so many other legends have stood.
Based on scores of interviews and meticulous research, Massey Hall chronicles the historical and musical moments of the past 127 years and the community of artists and supporters built up around the hall. This full-colour book celebrates music, community, and our shared cultural heritage, covering both emerging artists such as Matt Anderson and William Prince and musical giants from Herbie Hancock to the Tragically Hip."
