Toronto Urban Roots Festival, or TURF held at The Historic Fort York Grounds brings Toronto the best of "indie" music for a weekend to end off summer. This year was my first year attending TURF and I loved it. TURF is very family friendly, and a lot smaller then a lot of weekend festivals. The vibe is super laid back, with stages all over the area, and people sprawled out on the lawn and taking in the Toronto skyline views. The main draw for this years TURF was Icelandic darlings Of Monster and Men who closed out the first night of the festival. If you haven't seen these guys play yet, then you need to. They are a perfect festival band, the kind of music you just close your eyes and get lost in. The sing-a-longs to their biggest hits "Mountain Sounds" and "King and Lionheart" could have been heard up on the highway above and it was a perfect Friday night in September.
