Saturday August 19th Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave) is bringing in one of our favourite bands who have been absolutely killing it coming out of the pandemic, Freeloader! It’s been almost a year since we have had this very popular band play the Linsmore and with many requests from our regulars, we are happy to bring them back for a Saturday night party (HBD Rhonda)! Freeloader absolutely blew us away with their previous shows at the Linsmore Tavern and have been one of the hottest acts in Toronto as of late! Featuring the powerhouse vocals of Joe Cuscianna, you will be blown away by how good this band is! Take our word on it, you have got to see this band! The show starts at 9:30pm, tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door!
Freeloader is a dynamic 4 piece hard rockin’ heavy funkin’ band whose Covid-19 pandemic genesis can be attributed to a four-man quest for their dream cover band. Led by versatile frontman Joe Cuscianna, and supported by a rhythm section with years of professional experience, Freeloader flawlessly performs the music of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Black Sabbath, Incubus, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Soundgarden, Zeppelin and many more. Cuscianna’s uncanny ability to capture the sound and feel of some of Rock music’s most iconic singers, combined with his high-octane stage presence makes Freeloader a band not to be missed. Members include long-time musical associates Frank Baraczka (drums and percussion) and Ken Purvis (Bass) who have performed together all across the country and have shared the stage with some of Canada’s most beloved musical artists. On guitar and backing vocals, John Keffer whose peerless musicality and hard-hitting solos, is the engine that drives this high-powered quartet. Freeloader: Proudly Pilfering Since 2021!
