About our ticket pricing:
In an effort to make Here&Now financially accessible to most, our ticket pricing is based on the Green Bottle Method, an economic justice tool developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, that enables patrons to adjust payment based on access to resources. With this in mind, we’re offering three ticket prices: 
 

The highest tier, or a True Cost Ticket, reflects the true cost of running this event and indicates what we would need each audience member to pay to completely cover a living wage for artists, staff, as well as fees for the venue, and more assuming every ticket was sold. 
The middle tier, or a General Admission Ticket, reflects the understanding that the highest tier is inaccessible to many people and offers an option that we hope will meet the majority of our audience members’ needs. 
The lowest tier, or Subsidized Ticket, reflects the understanding that there are folks whose economic circumstances prevent them from being able to participate in our event.

 
Please choose the ticket option that is best suited for you. If this tiered pricing still present a barrier to your attendance at Here&Now, please fill out the form by CLICK HERE

Winner of two JUNO awards, creator of 16 albums, 22 singles, four gold records, CARAS "Songwriter of the Year" and since 2012 Member of the Order of Canada, Valdy is one our country's truly great storytellers. He is also an accomplished producer and a composer of film and television soundtracks and host of B.C.

In addition to his storied and prolific career, Valdy has a been a Front Page Challenge panelist and at one point had a lead role on The Beachcombers. It does not get much more Canadian than that! He has been touring Canada for over 45 years but also tours regularly in New Zealand in addition to past tours across Europe.

David Celia with Zuffalo Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$30+ in advance, $37+at the door
David Celia and members of Zuffalo will be performing a set of original music + Pink Floyd’s epic album “Wish You Were Here” in full, to celebrate 50 years since its release. This music has influenced their original songs so much and the album will be played with accuracy but also with a feeling that can best be described as “in the moment”. Their intention is to play the songs as how Pink Floyd were to play it back in the day.
David Celia is predominately his own songsmith and performer with four of his own albums released and another in the works. His music can be described as folk-rock wrapped up in a Beatle-esque pop package. He’s off touring the world twice a year and thrives on performing in front of music loving audiences with his “feel good but think” lyrics and spontaneous off-the-cuff improvisation. David’s music has consistently appeared on the CBC, BBC and WNYC in New York. The legendary Gordon Lightfoot was a fan and the CBC’s Tom Power has called him “one of Toronto’s best guitar players”.
Joining Celia are Zuffalo’s Kim Manning and Michael Vukovich to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here by performing the album in its entirety. Saturday May 3.

2025 International Acoustic Music Award Winner Robert Thomas has crafted songs for legends including, Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker and the Dixie Chicks. As a staff writer for music publishing, Thomas was tasked with writing hits and his diverse repertoire reflects that. He writes songs we can all connect with - memorable sing along melodies, clever, ear friendly lyrics couched in a wide-ranging array of rhythms - all introduced with a captivating, often humorous, repartee that is a throwback to the story telling era of Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor and Stuart Maclean. Accompanied on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the legendary “sessionmen” - Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault - whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains - Thomas delivers beautiful and energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe, and garnered Entertainer of the Year and multiple songwriter nominations from the East Coast Music Association.
One sentence from Rodney Crowell sums up the artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen - “These boys know what they’re doing.”Opener: Wild BloomFiddle, folk and emotional three-part harmony is the essence of Wild Bloom. The trio was formed in Toronto, Ontario by musicians Becky Leigh, Brittany Iwanciwski, andAlyssa Tess. With rich emotive vocals, lush harmonies, and captivating fiddle improvisation, Becky, Brittany, and Alyssa combine their years of musical expertise toblend singer songwriter and fiddle styles to create beautiful and evocative music. Together, Wild Bloom weaves friendship and stories with their fem folk sound to sharemusic that speaks to the heart.

Join us for an inspiring evening with Joseph Sagaj, Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) of the Sturgeon Clan, as he shares his remarkable journey as an Indigenous artist. Growing up in Neskantaga, a remote community of just 300 people located 433 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Joseph's creative foundation was shaped by moments like making moccasins with his mother.
His artistic path took him from his home community to Toronto, where he graduated from the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University) in Fine Arts in 1985. Despite the challenges and struggles often faced by artists, Joseph pursued his passion and carved out a meaningful career.
This conversation will explore his artistic evolution, his identity as an Indigenous artist, and the stories behind the many murals that adorn the city, each one a vibrant testament to his talent and heritage. The conversation will be moderated by Justine Woods, Curator of Indigenous Collections, and Shan Fernando, Manager of Public Programming.
Terms & Conditions: Please present your ticket at the Front Desk upon arrival. This talk will take place in-person at the Bata Shoe Museum (located on the G level). Please note, seating is not guaranteed. Limited spots available. Please contact shan@batashoemuseum.ca with any questions.
About Joseph Sagaj: Joseph is Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) of the Sturgeon Clan, and is from a remote and isolated community of 300 people in Neskantaga, located 433 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. One of his highlight activities from his youth was making moccasins with his mother. Joseph later moved to Toronto, attended the Ontario College of Art, as it was called then, and graduated in Fine Arts in 1985. The art world, as it is with most artists, was at times a struggle and a challenge. Regardless, Joseph pursued his dreams with passion! This talk will highlight Joseph’s journey as an Indigenous artist and will give insight to his many murals across the city of Toronto.

On the 15th floor of a London tower block, a revolution takes place. Myah has ejected herself from a corporate hellscape only to crash-land in the spare room of an elder named Mildred—an evasive auntie with laminated house rules and hidden wounds. But healing takes many shapes, and sometimes it looks like sneaking your roommate’s duckanoo.
Shedding a Skin is a one-woman buddy comedy for the heartbroken—a series of exquisitely observed, quietly radical scenes that offers a hand to those feeling the weight of the world. It’s a play about finding kindness in unexpected places&semi about understanding what our elders can teach us&semi it’s new skin honouring old. It’s a play about joy, healing and protest. Drop your baggage at the door. Connection is resistance.
Amanda Wilkin’s Shedding a Skin is the 2020 winner of Soho Theatre’s acclaimed Verity Bargate Award. The play premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in June 2021.
