Artists and industry professionals from across Canada are converging in Toronto next month for the fifth annual celebration of live music at the Come Together showcases and industry meetings.
Ten Provincial Music Associations: Alberta Music, Music BC, SaskMusic, Manitoba Music, Music/Musique NB, Music NL, Music Nova Scotia, Music Yukon, Music Ontario, and SODEC, Quebec, have joined forces to spotlight Canada’s powerhouse independent live music scene.
The genre-spanning, invite-only showcases for industry professionals will run November 25 at The Horseshoe Tavern, and November 26 at The Drake Underground, featuring performances from fourteen acclaimed artists.
This year, Saskatchewan artists Big Tones and Greenwing have been selected for official showcases! Congratulations!

Beyond the showcases, Come Together is a critical opportunity for the artists to build business relationships with key music industry professionals from Toronto and surrounding areas, including labels, agents, managers, publishers, music supervisors, publicists, and more.
Showcasing acts work directly with their provincial music association to identify business contacts for industry meetings. Come Together is a push towards industry connections, team building, and business strategies for both artists and music companies.
This project is made possible by the generous support from FACTOR, the Government of Canada and Canada’s private radio broadcasters; The Province of Alberta, Creative BC and The Province of British Columbia, The Manitoba Government, Manitoba Film & Music, Creative Saskatchewan, The Government of Quebec, Ontario Creates, The Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland & Labrador, and the Yukon Territory.
How were the artists selected?
A call for submissions was distributed by event partners in June 2025. All artists programmed for this opportunity were selected by a national industry jury.
