This year, Toronto will pay tribute to Andy Kim, creator of timeless pop hits like Sugar, Sugar and Rock Me Gently; Jane Siberry, acclaimed for her poetic and boundary-pushing songwriting; Ian Thomas, celebrated for classics like Painted Ladies; Triumph, powered by the songwriting of Rik Emmett, Gil Moore, and Mike Levine, gave us arena rock classics Lay It on the Line and Fight the Good Fight; and Gino Vannelli, the internationally renowned songwriter behind such hits as Living Inside Myself, Wild Horses and Black Cars.
