The hilarious and nefarious, Toronto-based, genre-flying CLIFF CARDINAL & THE SKY-LARKS are on beat and off-colour and here to entertain! 

Protest songs, love ballads and existential raps carrying darker tones of heavy subject matter are glorified in irony and catchy hooks, revealing take-it-or-leave-it observations. 

All while two players face of in a final match of chess! 

This event is part of the LiSTEN MuCH series curated by Charlie Glasspool.
