Photos From June Tunes And Shows 2023

At the end of May, at Exco Levi's tribute to Denise Jones, my band The Memberz brought decisive reggae inspiration to The Garrison's dance floor. We connected deeply with the audience while celebrating the release of the new African-made video for our single, What Ah Joy, backed up with promotional t-shirts, buttons and real talk.

Treson offered some original acoustic compositions before the 
reggae vibes took over.


June began with a two-day show of some of my more jazzical paintings at The Beach Guild of Fine Art's spring exhibition.


An evening with monster guitarist and songwriter Noah Zacharin was brief but intensely rewarding as he wove his fingertips together into musical points of light.


The Memberz closed Roots Music Canada's party celebrating five years of Canadian roots music coverage at The Tranzac with a short set of originals.

Denielle Bassels took some time for the Orbit with an interview at The Only Café to spotlight her latest collection of new tunes entitled Little Bit A Love.


Duncan Hopkins, foundation Canadian jazz bassist, hosted Ted Quinlan and Reg Schwager's elaborate string theories at Hirut on the Danforth along with melodic drummer Ted Warren as they explored the music of Kenny Wheeler.


A party of devoted Beatles singers harmonized through two sets of fab tunes with expert assistance from Fergus, Neil Chapman, Bob Cohen and Julie Long on Fathers Day.
 

Catchfiya brought beats and future tones to Al Qahwa's CD release for Weyn Allah.



Soul jazz from Boston saxman Braxton Cook brought a Sunday crowd into the middle of Avenue Road to rejoice on the first weekend of T.O. Jazz Fest.
