BASIC WHITE Present Their Handy-Dandy Juno Award’s Survival Guide for London, Ontario [Exclusive]

London, Ontario is home to Riley White, Jordan Wallace, and Sandro Di Stefano, an unsigned trio of musicians who perform together under the moniker Basic White. London also happens to be the host of 2019’s Juno Awards (occurring from March 11-17, with the main event and awards show on the 17th) so we thought it would be ideal if these hometown favourites would compile their own, detailed list of how to “Survive Juno Week in London”.

From tips about great places to hang, the sweetest local food and drink spots, not to mention hubs for musical gear and hangover meds, the guys compiled this handy-dandy London Survival Guide to make your weekend enjoyable and stress-free. Best of luck to all the nominees! Whether or not you’re headed to London, though, be sure to add this dope group to your #rockradar and get to know their brand new album, The Second Half (more details on their .com here).
