The Advocats have played at many venues throughout Toronto: Old Mill Toronto, The Rex Hotel, the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Eat to the Beat, and the Silver Ball, the Sunday Concert Series at the Scarborough Civic Centre and the Sunday Serenades at Mel Lastman Square, to name a few. For almost 20years, we have performed on the first Monday of every month starting at the Chick ‘N Deli and currently at The Duke Toronto! We are so thankful to our ever-growing following of loyal listeners.
