Horseshoe Tavern 2005-2007: Were still rocking and still booking breaking bands In 2005, Ken Sparkman retired from the day to day operations of the venue, with Craig Laskey and Naomi Montpetit coming aboard as owners. Jack Starrs family still owns the building. The grandsons and the grandsons in law, Gary Clairman and Colin Mackeller oversee the space. (Jack Starr left this earth a couple of years ago) Craig Laskey is still booking local bands, still going to SxSW every year, and still dreaming of bringing the Waco Brothers to Toronto. Bookie and his 102.1 Nu Music Nights are still going strong. JC has managed to see 147 lifetime Bruce shows.
