Toronto’s legendary music scene prepares for an electrifying countdown as ActionSound Band takes the stage for “NEW YEAR’S EVE SPADINA STYLE!” at the world-renowned Grossman’s Tavern, 377 Spadina Ave., Toronto. This exclusive holiday engagement promises a masterclass in rock and blues, pairing a high-octane performance with the intimate, soulful grit that only Spadina Avenue can provide. Guests will ring in the new year with a sophisticated touch, as every ticket includes a complimentary champagne toast at midnight and a curated light buffet to keep the energy high well into the early morning hours.
The evening features a powerhouse lineup of industry titans, led by virtuoso guitarist and Spin Doctors co-founder Eric Schenkman. As the creative force behind five Top 100 hits and a collaborator with legends like Carly Simon and Natalie Merchant, Schenkman brings the raw, funk-infused energy of his acclaimed solo album, WHO SHOT JOHN?, to the Grossman’s stage. Joining him is special guest Paul Reddick, the 2016 Juno Award winner for Best Blues Album and the man widely celebrated as the “Poet Laureate of the Blues.” Backed by a premier rhythm section featuring Stan Miczek of the Jeff Healey Band, Brent Barkman, and percussionist Gary Craig, Reddick’s hypnotic harmonica and Schenkman’s commanding guitar work will deliver a visceral musical experience that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

Located at 377 Spadina Ave., Grossman’s Tavern remains the premier venue for witnessing legends in their element. Tickets are available for $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the show, offering unparalleled value for a night of Juno Award-winning talent and festive hospitality.
