Music Monday is back this Month @ The El Mocambo
We're back at the El Mocambo, On October 27th, 2025, in the ground floor Starlight Room!
This month, we're kicking off the evening with a release strategy workshop presented by Sophie Mckinnon and Jesse Northey of Small Fry Music. Then we're causing some spooky ruckus with Guelph’s Bonnie Trash, Niagara's Foolproof and Sudbury’s Thea May!

More on Music Mondays
Music Mondays (we lovingly call them MOMOs) are meant to help Ontario artists get their foot in the door of Toronto's notoriously competitive market, while fostering connection across all levels of industry – newcomers learning from seasoned pros, honing their A&R chops, and building foundational relationships for the future of Ontario’s indie music scene. On top of live music and networking, each Music Monday will have a quick educational component to tie it all together.
Thanks to the El Mo, music fans can check out free live music each Music Monday too! Building fandoms is the golden ticket to sustainable careers in music, so a first-come, first-serve block of tickets will be set aside for public grabs.
