You can see the whole Earth from the Moon!

having a ball last year. 

This year will be even 

more fun for us and 

hopefully for the people 

that watch us,” 

said Suzie McKenney, 

who plays guitar and 

sings for the 

whimsical band.

The Dirty Dishes, 

which plays a repertoire 

of cover songs as well as 

original country, bluegrass,

folk and gospel music,

 is one of the few musical 

groups featured in next 

weekend’s festival of 

street performers.

The Dishes, 

as the colourful trio 

is also known, 

is comprised of Beach Triangle

resident Suzie McKenney, 

Parkdale resident Lisa Olafson

(guitar, ukulele, vocals) 

and fiddler Alison Porter, 

who hails from the 

Lansdowne and Eglinton

avenues area.

All three members are 

actors by trade with 

university degrees in 

musical theatre.

“We promise a lot of fun

at our shows and we 

really enjoy doing 

BuskerFest,” 

McKenney said.

Antics aside, 

The Dishes are most 

well-known for their 

love of three-part harmony.

“We all just love harmony. 

It’s the highlight 

of our group,”

 said McKenney, 

adding the group 

will be performing 

new songs from their 

recently released album, 

Dirty Dishes Done Dirt Cheap,

at BuskerFest.
