Innovative, co-operative and linux-friendly ISP Wireless Nomad meets at linuxcaffe on the evening of the second Wednesday of the month.

Matthew Berman is the guitarist from Must Stash Hat, who will perform in their acoustic format the very following night, after this Berman solo performance! On this occasion, however, its just Matthew, his guitar and his vocal chords. Check him out!

Must Stash Hat formed in the summer of 2004, in Toronto. After a few practices, the band, a trio of bass, drums, and guitar began to gig regularly in Toronto, Mississauga, and Etobicoke. The group has recorded every practice and live show. Musically, they do not stay in one style for more than one song. Must Stash Hat tends to focus on improvising and never has a set list. To hear them live is when they are at there best. "They are just more funky" stated Wayne, onwer of the Smiling Buddha, after a Canada Day Concert in 2005.

Spending your early years in small-town northern Ontario is bound to influence a person for life. For singer-songwriter Lesley Hoyles, this influence comes in the way of the constantly recurring theme of the weather, certainly a Canadian concern. Not one to be limited by these humble beginnings, however, Lesley has now, at 25, traversed the country, adding themes such as heartbreak, politics, activism, and apathy (generally other people’s, not her own) to her writing. Her musical style, which she refers to as urban folk, combines both the feel of her more recent big city living with the folk roots of her younger life. With influences ranging from Bach (she’s a classically trained pianist) to Joni Mitchell to Dar Williams and bands like Stars, it’s no wonder she had to invent her own name for her genre.
