The Songwriters Expo takes place at the Cadillac Lounge, 1296 Queen Street West, Toronto, (416) 536-7717. The show takes place from 4-7 p.m. There is never a cover for this event, instead we have a PWYC policy. Any amount given results in the automatic entry into the showtime raffle. One lucky winner takes home CD's of all or most of the shows performers; a sweet sounding deal!
BUNMI ADEOYE
Toronto-based singer/songwriter Bunmi Adeoye (pronounced boo-mee a-day-oh-yeh!) is described as sounding like a mixture of Carol King and Tracy Chapman with a dash of Avril Lavigne and Ani DiFranco. Bunmi writes and sings tunes that could be the soundtrack of a scorned ex-girlfriend, desperately searching for "closure".
Bunmi recently released her debut album, Paper Dolls, Glass Houses. www.myspace.com/bunmisings
