Happy Canada Day from the Polaris Music Prize!
Canada Day (and the weekend) bring many a great live show with Polaris Long List artists to your neck of the woods, from sea to shining sea. Enjoy the fireworks, unless you're in Toronto, where you'll have to settle for the figurative fireworks of Chad VanGaalen & The Constantines on the waterfront. As always, check your local listings. But here's a sampling:
