Jesse Dee.
Jess Dee had the unenviable task of coming on stage, following the incredible performance by Saidah Baba Talibah at the Beaches International Jazz Festival. The Boston-based soul singer/songwriter/guitarist Jesse Dee and his Band played a solid set at the Beaches International Jazz Festival.

Concerts are an opportunity to see and hear some amazing musicians. The emphasis is on seeing. Concerts are a visual experience. If that were not the case, then we would just play a CD or DVD on the home stereo. Continue reading

“These Kids Wear Crowns” is a band based on Canada’s west coast in Chilliwack BC. There was another great band out of Chilliwack called “Chilliwack”. I wonder if there is something in the water in Chilliwack which help produce amazing bands every few decades??? It was real treat to get to see them perform on Canada Day in Vaughan. Took lots of concert photos. Continue reading

One of the great songs of the era which we have shared, is Bohemian Rhapsody. It is permanently welded into my memory banks. Queen was arguably one of the best bands, if not the best. They sounded as good live as they did on studio produced albums. Not an easy task. There was also never any lip syncing at their live performances. Continue reading
