CMW In Photos -- Spinner's Favourite Moments

Posted on Mar 14th 2011 4:16PM by Jenny Charlesworth

Like any good music festival, Canadian Music Week had far too much going on over the course of its five-day run, March 9-13. Between the countless showcases at venues throughout Toronto, intimate day shows (like the one Spinner co-sponsored) and, of course, the hot-ticket Indies award show, it was near impossible to keep track of everything, let alone check it all out!

But that doesn't mean you can't experience it now.

Spinner has complied a collection of our favourite shots from this year's festivities so you can relive CMW 2011 highlights like sets by Janelle Monae, Shad and Young Galaxy. And, yes, get a taste for what you might have missed. Sigh.
