About this Event
NANA MCLEAN’s long, storied singing career began in St. Catherine, Jamaica and eventually brought her to Toronto where she continues to record and perform to this day. Her 1977 debut single ‘’Till I Kiss You” on the legendary STUDIO ONE record label is a banger that still crushes at dances to this day, as do many of her other cuts on essential record labels as Jammy’s and A&M, earning her the title ’The Queen of Reggae in Canada’.
Nana was also recently featured in the superb NFB 'Sounds and Pressure: Reggae in a Foreign Land' documentary series.
Co-Creator of the series, and founder of the Toronto-based SHELLA RECORDS, Mr. Chris Flanagan aka DJ EARL GREY is co-producing this show, will be selling exclusive vinyl from his label & will be your DJ for the evening.
It should also be mentioned that backing up Nana will be Toronto’s own ‘brothers in dub’ - THE DUB CHRONICLES, who have just released their 4th fantastic full-length album, THE ARCHIVES which is now available on all streaming platforms. It's an 11-track instrumental gem that explores the depths of dub music. The opening set will feature choice cuts from that album with a couple guest vocal appearances.
And, of course, we mustn’t forget to mention our illustrious Master of Ceremonies … Toronto’s very own ‘Dub-Poet-At-Large’ … the Right Honourable MR. CLIFTON JOSEPH.
This will be a night to remember … and is truly not to be missed!
