At each event, Jim and Meredith will decide upon a theme, around which the lineup of performers will shape their 15 minute sets, whether it be part of their pre-song patter or the subject matter of the song itself. Past themes have included; “Changes”; “All the Crap I Learned in High School”; and “Summertime Sadness.” Instagram and Facebook: @tavernofsongMeredith’s most recent endeavour has taken shape in the world of country line dancing. This interest was fostered within Toronto’s premiere queer line dancing event: SPURS Night, which takes place Sunday nights at the Owl’s Club. Since her first hoe-down back in the summer of 2023, Meredith has joined the collective of callers and organizers for the event, and teaches at their regular events, as well as external programming.
