The Troubadour’s Workshop
A night where portraits and performances collide honouring the lifers, legends, and rising voices who keep this city’s sound alive. Toronto Rocks is more than an art exhibit – it’s a collision of art, memory, and live performance. Taking the stage will be over 20 performers, each an inspiration to August Knight, in a Rolling Thunder Revue–style showcase that celebrates Toronto’s deep musical roots and thriving present. Expect an electric mix of established icons and rising voices, all united under one roof to honour the city’s enduring sound.

AUGUST KNIGHT PRESENTS TORONTO ROCKS
Dubbed “Toronto Rocks: Art & Music Collide at the Legendary El Mocambo”, it was an event born of passion and necessity. Toronto musician and visual artist August Knight created over 30 engraved art portraits for his Eternal Symbols series, which features icons such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Gordon Lightfoot. As well, the likes of Toronto music stalwarts such as John Borra, Sandra Bouza, David Celia and Tim Bovaconti, and many others are also honoured. Touchingly, Knight also pays posthumous tribute to Dallas Good and Nash the Slash.
