Her multiple industry accolades have landed her 2 Juno nominations, tours in Europe and across and North America, 2 separate, sold-out week-long stints in Japan, and most recently, a show at the legendary Hollywood Bowl with Jamie Cullum & Count Basie Orchestra. Fans and critics have drawn comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Diana Krall and Rickie Lee Jones.

Press quotes: Debut album ‘Start To Move’ voted the Top 3 Jazz Albums of the Year" -Gilles Peterson show on BBC Radio 1 UK in 2006. “Not Unlike Joni Mitchell, Shepherd uses the constructs of jazz along with elements of the folk and soul traditions to build a contemporary sound all her own†-Now Magazine Toronto. Jan 2008 “Shepherd and her crew can be slick and sophisticated without feeling the need to show off – the truest mark of a musician’s confidence†-Globe & Mail, May 6, 2008 The Jessica Stuart Few (Toronto) Fit to groove through the bounds of all parameters, Jessica Stuart embodies the essence of pop and jazz, creating a dynamic sound, merging outstanding creativity with traditional roots. With a national tour behind her and a lifetime of musical inspiration, Jessica’s unique cultural experiences and coast-to-coast response marks her influence as a Canadian artist with a sound of her own. Cohesive and full of melodic prowess, The Jessica Stuart Few continues to tap the senses of obscurity and tradition while referencing the roots of jazz with a soulful and funky twist. Katie Du Temple and the Stay Toughs Katie DuTemple blends jazz with electronica and pop influences. Her compositions are always exciting, eclectic and brings a fresh perspective to Toronto's music scene. Her band "The Stay Toughs" believes that music is a supreme form of expression and with this in mind, Katie’s singing and compositional styles are always saturated with emotion. She composes and sings with a combination of heart and mind that make a delicate balance of intellect and passion in her music and her band mates are right there with her. Iniffa Born in England with a Jamaican background, this accomplished Canadian singer/songwriter's voice can be compared to greats like Nina Simone and Marsha Griffiths. Iniffa has toured extensively with international acts including; the Jimmy Cliff World Tour, the Bob Marley World Tour with Ziggy Marley and Toots Hibbert, and the Euro-Disney Hakuna Matata Lion King World Tour where she gained international fame for her unique sound as well as her engaging stage personality. After a self-imposed break from performing, Iniffa has returned to Toronto from Jamaica. She is now working on her own material that has jazz, reggae & soul undertones.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nice trailer; well put together. I MySpace'd all the artists and may pop in if I'm looking for something low-key to do, but don't think they're up my alley for the most part. Hopefully you get a good turnout though...What are tickets going for at the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
