| Jamaica To Toronto keyman Jay Douglas is appearing at Sonic Boom on Friday (6 pm) followed by a full show at The Drake Hotel on Saturday (February 15). |
Here's the scoop...
Back from a successful west coast swing promoting the great new feature-length documentary Play It Loud! How Toronto Got Soul with director Graeme Mathieson, the film's star Jay Douglas is looking forward to returning to the stage in Toronto – despite the chilly temps – for a Valentine's Day warm-up. While some performers choose to hibernate during the winter months in the Great White North, Jay Douglas is clearly made of sterner stuff.
"We just flew in from the Yukon," say Jay, "where we had a screening of Play It Loud! at the Available Light Film Festival in Whitehorse. It was well accepted by the audience there and other than the bitterly cold weather, everything worked out great!"
Later today he'll be singing a set of lover's rock for a free in-store at Sonic Boom (215 Spadina) starting at 6 pm to coincide with Light In The Attic's timely vinyl repress of the Jamaica To Toronto 2LP anthology and follow it up with a full show at The Drake Hotel on Saturday (February 15) backed by his longtime pal, dynamite drummer Everton "Pablo" Paul and crew. The doors open at 9:30 pm and tickets are $17.31 available right here.
Check out a short clip of Jay's version of "I Wish It Would Rain," the trailer for "Play It Loud!," a video chat about the documentary with Rudy Blair along with some performance footage.
