Ride the Tiger at the Drake Hotel!

The Lounge at the Drake Hotel



“Soul & Motown” Treat!

Last night I went to the Drake Hotel to see an amazing band called, Ride the Tiger! They displayed a fantastic array of Soul and Motown classics, which featured the many musical talents of the band. With a booming voice the lead singer reminded me of Mayer Hawthorne (who is another favorite artist of mine). 

The Drake itself is a staple in the Queen West neighborhood of Toronto. As stated on their website, “The Drake Hotel is a cultural, entertainment and hospitality landmark in Toronto. In the seven years since our opening, Drake has come to be known as an energetic hub for visual & performance art as well as dining and hospitality, thus providing one of Canada’s most unique and sought after hotel and culinary experiences. We are clearly more than a place to eat and sleep: we are a hotbed for culture. We eagerly await your arrival and open our doors to your hearts and minds".

Not only is the Drake Hotel a fantastic venue to visit when you want to hear great music but Ride the Tiger is definitely a must see band in Toronto! They will be playing the Drake on Monday nights but definitely check out their website for additional shows!
