JAY DOUGLAS * TRISH CAMPBELL * D.M. Jay Douglas is one of Toronto’s many hidden treasures, especially when it comes to the constant growth that is the Canadian music industry. Originally born in Jamaica, the first stage Douglas performed on was in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Uncovering a natural charisma when it comes to performing, Jay Douglas has been active in the entertainment industry for the past 45 years. Developing a passion for American Blues, West Indian Rhythms, and Jazz Standards, Douglas tackles a vast repertoire all while providing unmatched energy on stage. Delivering crossover vibes, refreshing vocal harmonies, and powerful instrumental riddims, Reggaddiction is one of the top up-and-coming bands in the Canadian reggae scene. Single releases from the band’s highly anticipated upcoming Neil Young reggae tribute album Ganja Harvest have received stellar reviews and national airplay on CBC Radio. The band opened up for the legendary Sister Nancy in early 2019, backed by Studio One legend Otis Gayle at the Beaches Jazz Festival was featured at Downtown Markham Festival, Come Together Festival, and Q107's Canada Day Livestream.

It was time for the Canadian-based Reggae collective, Reggaddiction band to remove the Covid blues, move with the changes and bring back more music. The band has been known for performing Canadian classics while featuring Canadian vocal artists in and out of the reggae scene. Reggaddiction not only pays tribute to Canadian legends but brings light to the current upcoming Canadian artists. That being said, with the encouragement from Oz, the bands’ drummer and producer, and suggestion from guitarist Jay Cleary, covering Jeff Healey bands’ Canadian iconic rock classic “Angel Eyes” was a well-made clear choice.
