Torontoist usually shudders at any combination of the words “folk” and “rock,” but Ryerson Theatre grad Peter Katz has been slowly brewing a successful music career in that hybrid genre since he finished school in 2004. Winner of the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award and the Grand Prize Winner of Toronto’s IndieWeek (2005), Katz just released his first “official” full-length album, More Nights, under the name Peter Katz and the Curious.
The first video off of the disc, titled “Forgiveness” and inspired by a surprising interview Katz heard on CBC radio, is dripping with Toronto points.

Peter Katz’s next GTA show is on Saturday August 18th at the City of Mississauga Festival at 7:30 p.m., 300 City Center Drive.
