May Gigs and Fall Tour

May is a busy month for Peripheral Vision - we’re at the Rex every Sunday night (except the 29th), 7-9, and are also playing at the Tranzac May 10, 7:30-9:30.  All of these gigs are Pay What You Can.  Hope to see you at one of these shows!
The Purple Cabbage, a new Toronto Jazz and Creative Music Review blog, continues to be very supportive of our music.  They recently chose “Says You” for their first “Toronto Mixed Tape” - The Cabbage Tapes: Vol. 1, along with songs by our friends Tara Davidson, Ernesto Cervini and well established Toronto drummer Barry Elmes.

Purple Cabbage Review

Purple Cabbage, a new Toronto Jazz and Creative Music Review blog just did a great review of our album, saying “…one of Toronto’s most promising Jazz groups… What I find most satisfying about Peripheral Vision is their ability to stretch far rhythmically and harmonically, while remaining rooted in beautiful, sing-able melodies.” Also check-out their review of the top 10 jazz moustaches of all time!
