Graydon James & The Young Novelists
The Dakota Tavern (249 Ossington Avenue)
Tuesday, 12 a.m.

Graydon James and his The Young Novelists bandmate Laura Spink spent last month playing an intimate weekly residency at the Cameron House. For tonight’s showcase set, the roots-rock and folk band is back at full strength, playing songs off of last year’s In the Year You Were Born.

Go if: You want to see one of Toronto’s best live roots-rock outfits, in one of the city’s best roots-rock venues.
