Updated: Oct 25, 2023

Here's this month's listing for October, 2023! Scroll down & see what's happening!



The weather's cooling but our city's Live Music is heating up! Here are some upcoming shows - plus links to venue websites offering Live Music - in October, 2023 around the GTA!


Oh! I've noticed this week that more bars are adding a live entertainment list or calendar to their websites! Yeah! Be sure to check out these up to date calendars by clicking on the website link I've provided on each listing. Some don't have a website yet, but may have socials, so check them out too! It's the best place to get the most up to date info direct from the venue!


There are seasonal parties, festivals and fundraising events coming up too! 'Tis the Season!

So, I'll start up a separate post about Band/Performer/Venue merch available for sale ... it's never too early to start shopping for gifts or to support our musicians & performers! This one is coming soon as I gather some more info!


Fundraising events are starting up as well as parties & events so I'll try to share as many as I can in each month's post too! They'll be in a separate list below the venue listings so be sure to scroll down to see those too!


As always, keep checking back for updates to the lists below too, please! Since websites & socials don't get updated all of the time, I'll be updating every day or so throughout the week as I see new shows! Scroll down & check them out!


I'm still sharing on the ONstage-GTA FB and IG pages as well ... I know, I know, it's a lot ... sorry! I'm trying to figure out a strategy for the best way to share as much info as I can without really pissing you off! LOL


I hope you find my efforts useful!

Cheers! LisaM

Oh! One thing I'm adding to these posts is the comments section below so you can add your own graphics, gig details etc. I'm always updating this layout as I find what works and what doesn't as well! If you have suggestions, please let me know! I'd love to hear them!


How can you contact me?

Email me at onstagegta@gmail.com or message me on FB or IG!


I'll update as often as I can - there's a LOT of Live Music in the GTA - so keep checking back for updates!


I hope you find this list useful! It's a labour of love & I'll be making changes to the layout & function as I go.


Cheers everyone! LisaM
