Cannons — CBC Music Live, Toronto, 2026

Why this recording

Twelve songs in 48 minutes, all chaptered: CBC Music filmed Cannons in front of their Toronto fans with a longer set than a simple showcase would suggest. Michelle Joy introduces “Take Me to Tokyo” (33:28) as the heart of the album and the reason the band makes music, the clearest entry point into Everything Glows. Guitar, bass and drums around her are credited at the end of the description. The show closes with “Fire For You” at 44:16.

Filmed by CBC Music in Toronto, this live concert gathers American trio Cannons for an evening bathed in hazy synths and dreamy melodies. Led by Michelle Joy’s ethereal vocals, the Californian band, a figure of the 2020s dream-pop and synth-pop wave, alternates classics and tracks from their latest album “Everything Glows”. The set opens with “Loving You”, moves into the darker energy of “Hurricane”, the hypnotic sensuality of “Carousel”, then “Heartbeat Highway”, “These Nights” and “Take Me to Tokyo”, before closing on the hit “Fire For You”, turned into a collective sing-along. This full concert conveys the band’s velvety, danceable aesthetic, between nostalgia and euphoria. For fans of live pop, dream-pop and synth-pop, this live concert offers a polished immersion in the world of a group that became a cult favourite through streaming, filmed to professional standards by Canada’s public broadcaster. An elegant, enveloping interlude captured live in Toronto.
