What it is about

Toronto has always been more than a city—it’s a soundtrack. On this show, Scot Turner and Ivar Hamilton, come together to tell the stories behind the city’s soundtrack. From legendary concerts at Massey Hall and Maple Leaf Gardens to the rise of Queen Street West, MuchMusic, CFNY, and the clubs that shaped generations—this podcast dives deep into the people, places, and sounds that made Toronto a music city.Part oral history, part backstage pass, and part love letter to the 6ix, this is where Toronto’s music past meets its present—and where fans discover why this city still matters on the world stage.
