Show Review – Tennyson King, Ivy James and Annie Sumi

Last night was the first for 2016’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto. For a few reasons, I picked going to The Paddock Tavern, a CMW Showcase. Though I didn’t know of Tennyson King or Ivy James, it was Annie Sumi that inspired me to attend.

A friend of mine, just outside of North Bay, had mentioned Annie Sumi to me in one of our conversations and suggested that I look her up on line. I did! What a delight and what a voice! This Indie-Folk singer, from North Bay (now residing in Whitby) has a story-telling quality that, at times, reminds me of Joni Mitchell. During her performance, last night, she sang a song called’ “Peter Pan”. She hit notes that sent tingles from my neck, all the way down my spine. That’s my indicator of great talent.

Tennyson King gave a wonderful performance. His Earthy Roots Rock & Roll began a vibe that lingered throughout the night. He puts so much emotion into his music that it was difficult to snap a photo of him without his eyes closed.

Ivy James is an acoustic-driven pop-rock artist that captivated the audience with her dry wit and vocals. One word to describe her, would be sassy!

I would be willing to see any of these artists perform again and look forward to seeing where their talents take them.
