The Skydiggers
Formed in 1987 by singer Andy Maize and guitarist Josh Finlayson, The Skydiggers are a rootsy band who made their mark in the mid 90’s with Songs such as ‘I Will Give you Everything’. They will feature songs from their seventh studio album, City of Sirens with a core line-up of Andy Maize (vocals), Josh Finlayson (guitars, keyboards, vocals), and Ron Macey (bass) augmented by Michael Johnston on keyboards and vocals, and drummer Noel Webb. “Toronto’s greatest strength is the neighbourhoods, so it’s important in developing the city, that we make sure to preserve the character of those neighbourhoods.” (Andy Maize).

Stephan Moccio
Virtuoso composer and pianist Stephan Moccio makes the Beach his home. He has written songs for artists such as Céline Dion (“A New Day Has Come”), Sarah Brightman (“What You Never Know”) and Josh Groban (“My Heart Was Home Again”). “I’m a Beacher, I support the cause and I look forward to playing my song entitled Neville Park, which is featured on my latest album Exposure.”(Stephan Moccio).

There will be an exciting and diversified collection of musical acts, including the legendary Canadian rock group Fludd, the energized blues group The Mississippi Hippies, beach resident Mookie Morris (finalist from Canadian Idol), Ron Korb and Makoto Tani. Also contributing to this lineup are, the local funk group Funktagon, spirited Revival Dear and The Peirson Ross Band who have already captured the hearts of our Beach communities.
