ORI DAGAN:
Ori Dagan is a Toronto-based jazz singer-songwriter whose rich bass-baritone, inventive scat, and sharp lyrical wit craft a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. A graduate of York University's Music Department, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of jazz—from his bold debut (S’Cat Got My Tongue), through the genre’s first visual album (Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole), to his clever, socially attuned originals (Click Right Here) and the award-winning tribute (Going That Counts—for Ella). A recipient of numerous awards—including the Great American Song Contest Grand Prize and the John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize—Dagan’s artistry is repeatedly celebrated by critics for its humor, creativity, and honest musicality. Beyond the stage, he's a dedicated community leader, educator, writer, and influencer, bridging tradition and innovation while nurturing jazz’s next generation.
MIKE T. KERR:
Mike T. Kerr is a wild guitar player and ambitious songwriter of Canadian heritage and American citizenship. During his time at Berklee College of Music in Boston and in over 10 years of performing, he's lived his life through many historical and contemporary musical styles. Always curious to dig up not only a song's history, but the shape of the world at the time, Mike plays passionately and openly while interpreting the great guitar players of the past, primarily across the country blues and jazz genres. A Danny Gatton lick or Django Reinhardt tune is never far from his fingertips. When it comes to his own songwriting, Mike writes storytelling ballads inspired by old movies and current events.
