Heather Bambrick and Friends returns to the TD Toronto Jazz Festival as part of the “Festival Within The Festival”.  This year’s series features some of country’s top legendary Jazz talents, as well as outstanding artists that Canada has exported south of the border.

The series takes place over four nights at the Home Smith Bar at the Old Mill, Toronto, and all four shows will once again be under the musical direction of the incomparable Russ Little, along with his phenomenal musicians:  Tom Szczesniak (piano), Scott Alexander (bass), and Brian Barlow (drums).

The 2018 line-up of “Friends” may very well be one of the finest since the series began, and is sure to cause tickets to sell out quickly!

It all begins on Friday, June 22, with world-renowned trumpet and flugelhorn icon, incredible entertainer, and member of the Order of Canada, Guido Basso.  (Click HERE for details.)

The second night of the opening weekend – Saturday, June 23 – brings back a festival favourite:  singer, actor, entertainer, and Canada’s reigning Queen of Jazz, Blues, and Gospel – Jackie Richardson.  (Click HERE for details.)

The following weekend sees a return of two Canadian Jazz stars who have made names for themselves in the US, on the NY and LA music scenes.  We begin on Friday, June 29, with the classy vocals of Canada’s gift to the New York club scene – sultry songstress, Melissa Stylianou.  (Click HERE for details.)

The series closes with the sophisticated and sensuous styling of multiple JUNO nominee and international entertainer, LA’s gift from Toronto – Carol Welsman.  (Click HERE for details.)

All shows begin at 7:30 pm at the Home Smith Bar, in the Old Mill, Toronto.  Festival tickets are on sale now at Ticketpro.ca or by calling 1-888-655-9090.  There are no reserved seats;  ticket-holders will be seated at the Home Smith Bar on a “first come, first selection” basis on the night of each show.  Home Smith Bar doors will open at 6:30 pm.
