MONDAY NIGHT SOUL.

There’s something about live music that just hits differently.

Not through your headphones.
Not through a screen.

In the room. Together.

That’s what FYI Showcase has become.

A place to slow the week down for a few hours. Grab some food. Have a drink. Connect with people. And let an incredible musician take the room somewhere.

This Monday, our resident musician Gavin Williamson is back at The Real Jerk for another musical journey through soul, R&B, reggae, Motown and timeless favourites.

Whether you come solo, make it a date, or pull up with the crew — come exhale.

📍 The Real Jerk • 842 Gerrard St. E.
🍹 Irie-Hour: 4–7 PM
