New York-born, Toronto-raised Tony Hightower is quite possibly the best songwriter left in either place.

He takes you to the precipice of disaster again and again, peering over with you, giving you a push, pulling you back, whispering, Saved your

You find yourself really caring about the characters in his songs: why Dina has given up trying to talk to boys - whether Toucan will pass his
audition and not bust his knuckles in some brawl while out on his big date with Rita - or Joey's last all-night crawl through the old haunts in
tribute to his (erroneously presumed) dead friend, Leyna.
