| The electrifying Jay Douglas – subject of the Play It Loud! documentary – hits the Old Mill with his all star band on Friday at 8 pm. |
Toronto, get ready for an unforgettable evening with Jay Douglas — three-time Juno nominee, legendary bandleader, producer, and one of Canada’s most beloved and charismatic Island soul ambassadors.
From Rastafest to the 4 Seasons Reggae Cruise, Jay has lit up stages around the world. He’s collaborated with icons like Beres Hammond, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Luciano, Ken Boothe, Ziggy Marley, and the legendary Ernest Ranglin.
Beyond the music, Jay’s heart is in the community — including helping bring Reggae Lane to life in Toronto.
As can be seen in Graeme Mathieson's excellent documentary, Play It Loud! How Toronto Got Soul (check it out here here), Jay's music career in Toronto began as the frontman of The Cougars, who ruled the local Caribbean club scene in the 60s and showcased at Toronto's inaugural Caribana Festival in 1967.
And now he’s bringing that timeless magic to The Old Mill (21 Old Mill Rd) this Friday (November 21) from 8 pm to 10 pm. Tickets are $30, available online at www.oldmilltoronto.com or call 416-207-2020 for reservations. Don’t miss this night of soul, storytelling, and pure good vibes.
