Bluebird is a neighbourhood bar just off Roncesvalles. They’re focused on bringing you local & organic wines, Ontario beer, craft cocktails, & locally sourced products, always for a fair price.

They host a wonderful, Thursday evening concert series throughout the year, featuring some of the city’s finest musicians.

Erik Bleich writes songs that live in-between, a kind of Liminal Americana that never settles in one place for long.

A Toronto-based singer-songwriter raised in the isolated mill town of Dryden, Ontario, his work is grounded in a plainspoken, conversational voice. Cinematic indie folk meets blue-collar poetry. His songs often circle what goes unnoticed, the quiet patterns beneath ordinary life, the feeling of something just out of frame. A songwriter’s songwriter, with an ear for sneaky pop hooks.

This special evening features a stripped-down set with longtime collaborators Lea Kirstein (cello, viola) and Kathryn Merriam (piano, vocal).
