Videos!

Hey everyone! Happy Hump Day! I've been keeping busy with some bookings for the fall and I have some exciting news regarding a music festival coming up. More on that in the next post. For now I would like to share some videos from my YouTube channel and others that I've found interesting. Some are older than others but I hope that you can find some music you enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Introducing Alex Leggett

Hi, 

My name is Alex Leggett. I'm an independent musician living in Toronto, ON. Anelia has been kind enough to invite me to be a guest writer for a few weeks to talk about music and life in the arts. I've been writing and performing music for 10 years. I'm from Gananoque, ON. 

You can listen to my music, view some performance videos, and read my full bio at www.AlexLeggett.com. I recently released an EP in March and spent a month performing in Turks & Caicos. I'm currently booking a tour for the Fall and writing my next record. I plan to tour across Canada again in 2014.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be sharing new music (both that I've written and what I'm currently listening to), upcoming shows in Southern Ontario, music news, tidbits, and other exciting stuff! I'm glad to have you with me on this wonderful musical journey!

Welcome

Hello all and welcome to The Collective District. This blog is designed to keep you inform with your local artists and for you to get to know them below the surface of their art. Every month, an artist will be featured and post about their art and life. Also, our resident blogger Renée Mcphee will be here regularly to greet you about various topics.
Oh and who am I? Well, I am Anélia, your host for this enjoyable ride you will have with us!

Thanks!
