About the venue:


The Orbit Room, capacity 110, is a Toronto bar owned by Rush lead guitarist Alex Lifeson and Tim Notter. The restaurant is managed by Tim Wilson. The venue is decorated in the style of a 1950s New York cocktail lounge, and plays host to many different kinds of live music; particularly R&B, funk, and jazz.



The Orbit Room began in November 1994. The original house band, The Dexters, played classic R&B Thursday through Saturdays, then Fridays and Saturdays, and finally just Saturdays. The Dexters are Lou Pomanti (Hammond B-3), Bernie LaBarge, (guitar, vocals), Peter Cardinali (bass), and Mike Sloski (drums, later replaced by Greg Critchley). They played at the club for ten years, until their semi-retirement in 2004.
