Byron Stingily is the lead singer of the legendary group Ten City formed 1987. He has written over 20 top 100 pop songs around the world. Known by Global Dance Music enthusiasts as the “Voice of House Music”, legendary recording vocalist Byron Stingily was one of the true pioneers of the Chicago House Music Movement during the mid 80’s. His distinctive falsetto vocal register is known the world over, often drawing comparisons to legendary singers Smokey Robinson and Disco legend Sylvester, and were responsible for many chart topping anthems for several record labels, including Atlantic, Sony, Columbia, Manifesto and Nervous Records to name a few. A singer since the age of five, Stingily grew up on the west side of Chicago, and though he attended Blackburn College in rural Illinois during the early '80s, he became a part of the Chicago's exploding house scene and recorded his first single "Funny Love" in 1985 on Trax Records. After meeting up with one of House Music’s early pioneers Marshall Jefferson , Stingily recorded two early Chicago classics, "Can't Stay Away" and "Just a Little Bit," and impressed many as the support slot for Jefferson's visit to New York City. While in New York City, Jefferson and Stingily decided to make the rounds at the major labels, and impressed Atlantic Records enough that the label offered them a contract before they had even formed a group. By 1988, the pair had recruited guitarist Herb Lawson and DJ-turned-keyboardist Byron Burke to form Ragtyme. Later changing their name to Ten City and recording their debut album Foundation, the trio released global club anthems such as "b” “ Devotion " and " Right Back to You ," before recording two more albums for Atlantic by 1993. Though Byron Stingily was offered a solo contract by Columbia, he opted to return to the independents and began working with Kim English for the singles "Nitelife" and "Time for Love" plus Michael Watford and Maysa Leak (of Incognito) . As a solo artist, Byron continued his musical excellence, signing with New York Based independent dance music giant Nervous Records . Stingily began recording for Nervous in 1996 and released his debut solo full-length The Purist , Club Stories in 1998. Boasting a career over 36 years, with 5 fantastic Ten City album releases, Byron continued the Ten City legacy and releases 2 more albums, Judgement (2021) and The Next Generation (2025).

The battle for Pride Rock is riddled with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from his long-lost friend, Nala, and a curious pair of newfound friends, Pumbaa and Timon, Simba must figure out how to face his past and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Matthew Broderick as Simba, Moira Kelly as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa and Nathan Lane as Timon.

Classic Cocktails, Modern Twists with Tammy Coxen
Masterclasses offer in-depth explorations of food and drink topics, presented by experts and accompanied by demonstrations and tastings. Classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Mojito earned their place in history for a reason! But they've also served as a great source of inspiration, and some of the best new cocktails came about when bartenders tinkered with the classics. In this hands-on cocktail class with Tammy Coxen, you'll get to see that process in action as you make and compare four classic cocktail recipes and their modern twists. You'll learn about the origins and history of the Manhattan, Negroni, Bee's Knees and Mojito, as well as discover creative and delicious modern updates on those favourites. Along the way you'll learn essential cocktail mixing techniques that will make all of your cocktails better, and there will be plenty of time to get all your cocktail and spirit related questions answered. —– Bee's Knees A Prohibition-era gin sour, sweetened and brightened with honey and lemon — born from the need to mask the rough edge of bathtub gin. Go from the 1920s to the 2020s as you get spicy with a modern update featuring tequila. Manhattan A classic American cocktail of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters, stirred and strained — its history stretches back to 19th-century New York. You'll mix the original, then taste a much-loved variation from the early days of the modern craft cocktail renaissance. Negroni Equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth, built over ice — the most iconic cocktail to come out of Italy and still going strong 100 years later. But it's endlessly riffable, as you'll discover when you compare the classic build to a contemporary twist with smoke and chocolate. Mojito Rum, lime, mint and soda – when made correctly, it's one of the most refreshing highballs around. Learn how to make the best version of the traditional recipe plus a sophisticated modern twist perfect for a celebration. Throughout the class, Tammy will share the origins and stories behind each cocktail along with essential mixing techniques — shaking, stirring, muddling — that carry over to any drink you make at home. The class includes a combination of history and stories, technique instruction, and hands-on making of cocktails — plus sampling, of course! Total consumption is equivalent to around 2 cocktails per person over the 2 hour class, and some light snacks are provided. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/masterclass-classic-cocktail-modern-twist-with-tammy-coxen —– Tammy Coxen grew up in Canada, spent most of her adult life in Michigan, and is now living in Toronto. While in Michigan, she founded Tammy's Tastings, a company devoted to exploring the world of food and drink through hands-on classes and tasting events. Since 2011, her focus has been on teaching interactive hands-on cocktail classes to individuals, groups, and companies for events ranging from parties to corporate team building. Her classes focus on not only the mechanics of how to shake and stir cocktails, but the rich stories of the people, ingredients and history behind the drinks. Tammy has passed the business on to one of her employees, but still teaches online cocktail classes for Tammy's Tastings and has started offering private cocktail classes in Toronto.
