TORONTO CITY ROOTS presents a transformative event featuring songs of protest, conscience and hope. The topical song, known to touch and transform hearts and minds, has long been the vehicle of expression for folk artists to comment on injustice, the state of the world, to raise awareness, and perhaps most importantly to give hope for the future. What better time or place for the voice of the folk singer and singer-songwriter to be heard.
