The Cameron House, Music venue and cultural center in downtown Toronto, Canada
Description
The Cameron House is a music venue on Queen Street West with two performance spaces, one in the front lounge and one in the back room. Each space holds about sixty people and the venue serves food and drinks to guests during performances.
History
The building dates to 1880 and originally housed a dry goods store before becoming a music venue in 1896. This transformation marked its beginning as a place for musicians and audiences to gather.
Culture
This is a gathering place for music lovers where local and international performers share their work with audiences night after night. The space has built a reputation for helping emerging artists find their voice and connect with listeners in the community.
Practical
The venue is easy to reach on foot and both spaces have room for standing or sitting during shows. It is wise to arrive early as the rooms can fill up quickly depending on the performance.
Did you know?
The venue created its own record label in 2011 to support emerging artists and help them reach wider audiences. This label remains connected to the daily operations of the space.
