Forty-plus and thriving: The Cameron House is still a revered home for live music
(L-r) Songwriters Julian Taylor, Cinzia & the Eclipse, and Ben Kunder perform at the Cameron House on Queen W. in Toronto on August 4, 2024. The venue’s ceiling art was painted by artist and former waitress Sybil Goldstein. As some Toronto music venues struggle to return to pre-COVID attendance or shut down entirely, the Cameron House on Queen West is thriving after nearly 40 years in business. This is partly due to the venue (and building) staying in the family. The Cameron’s original owners, siblings Paul Sannella and Ann Marie Ferraro, alongside their friend Herb Tookey, handed over the business to Ann Marie’s son Cosmo and his business partner Michael McKeown over a decade ago. The venue is now run by two of Ann Marie and Paul Ferraro’s children, Annalise and Tally. Paul Sannella passed away in 2010. (Laura Proctor/The Globe and Mail)�
