Avant Garde Bar and Gift Shop

Avant-Garde Bar is a combination of Soviet constructivism and contemporary Western life. Avant-Garde bar consists of two main rooms: open space, shimmering with contrasting and distinct colours of the counter and cocktail glasses, reflected in interlacement of the mirrors, which transforms into a cozy lower room, radiating warmer and more intimate shades.
Walls of the bar are decorated with handmade artistic work, inspired by such great sculptor of avant-garde as Kandinski, and posters of Soviet epoch.
Music of Avant-Garde bar includes extravagant performers of Northern America and leading artists of Western and Eastern Europe.
Avant-Garde bar, in its essence, is simultaneously a place of a romantic rendezvous, as well as a place of open friendly atmosphere.

Jack de Keyzer, born in England but a resident of Toronto for decades, is recognized as one of the best blues guitarists in the country - the King of the Blues! Singer, songwriter, producer, band leader and as wicked a guitarist as you are ever gonna hear - anywhere. No wonder - he mentored under such blues greats as King Biscuit Boy and Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins.
Winner of multiple Maple Blues, Jazz Report Magazine and Real Blues Magazine Awards. His CD "6 String Lover" won the Juno in 2003 as best blues CD of the year. Many who saw him at the Smiths Falls Blues Festival last summer thought he stole the show. He performs here with his great band and will also be joined by Special Guest Elyssa Mahoney - the amazing 12 year old singing sensation from Ottawa who is winning praise from audiences and artists alike (including Jeff Healey and Chuck Jackson from Downchild) as one of the best young natural blues talents to arrive in a long time.
