Midland-born, Toronto-based indie rock band Born Ruffians—guitarist/vocalist Luke Lalonde, bassist Mitch DeRosier, and drummer Steve Hamelin—are proof that a group of friends with a tireless work ethic and fierce, grassroots commitment to their labour's integrity and vision can still go a long, long way. 15 years into their career, the trio isn't slowing instead, they're doubling down on those designations with JUICE, their 6th full-length record. It's a hyper, earnest, and affecting collection of rock and roll songs, written and polished over a three-year span then sewn together into a cohesive and uniquely enjoyable experience. It's Born Ruffians as they've always been: on their own terms, heads against the wind until their work is done.

Redeem for tickets <a href="https://mrglive-redeem.square.site/s/shop">HERE</a> Shad is one of Canada&rsquo;s&nbsp;most&nbsp;revered&nbsp;rappers, a peerless wordsmith who embodies hip-hop&rsquo;s power to entertain and educate. Since releasing his DIY debut in 2005, the Toronto-based MC has pushed his style of socially conscious yet infectiously playful hip-hop across five increasingly ambitious albums that have received widespread critical acclaim and coverage in outlets like Rolling Stone, Complex, The Ringer, Fader, NPR, and more. To date, Shad has racked up over 30 million streams, a Juno Award for&nbsp;Rap&nbsp;Recording of the Year (for 2010&rsquo;s TSOL), and four placements on Canada&rsquo;s prestigious Polaris Music Prize shortlist,&nbsp;most&nbsp;recently for his 2018 concept-album opus, A Short Story About a War. His mission to inspire and inform goes beyond his own music: a former host of CBC Radio&rsquo;s flagship arts and culture program q, Shad can currently be seen talking shop with the legends of&nbsp;rap&nbsp;on the Emmy/Peabody Award-winning Netflix Original docuseries, Hip-Hop Evolution. His&nbsp;most&nbsp;recent album, TAO, was released in October 2021 on Secret City Records.
