All this week, musicians from across the country and around the world descend on Toronto for what is Canadian Music Week.
CMW follows that other weeklong festival down in Austin, and sure, it's not as big, but it promises a solid mix of up-and-coming and already there artists. We'll be at the shows all week, snapping pics and updating them here, so be sure to check back often.
First up, Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky kick things off with a black-and-white themed, pyrotechnics-heavy concert at the Air Canada Centre.
