ANNOUNCING THE 2008 ARTIST LINE-UP
The 4th Annual Canadian Music Café is proud to announce the 15 Canadian artists who will perform at the Café. These unique and diverse Canadian acts will showcase their innovative sounds to the film and television industry at the 33rd Toronto International Film Festival.
The Café bridges an industry network with Canadian talent to an international audience. The delegates are treated to the sounds of rock, pop, dance, R&B, blues, country and jazz. Canada has been well recognized for the successes of its artists not only on stage but also in the film and TV areas.
