ORI DAGAN &
CARRIE CHESNUTT
11.30 - 2.00

Award-winning jazz singer-songwriter Ori Dagan has attracted a dedicated and growing audience, both in his native Toronto and internationally. He brings a wry and agile sense of swing to everything he does, whether interpreting a standard, spinning a pop tune on its head or introducing his own original music and lyrics. Dagan's rich bass-baritone is unmistakable. His consistently forward-thinking style is inspired by hundreds of heroines and heroes, including Sheila Jordan (with whom Dagan recorded a duet in 2017). 

One part instrumentalist, one part cabaret diva, Carrie Chesnutt has had a dual career as saxophone and flute sideman and recording artist, as well as a One Woman cabaret dynamo. Carrie's one woman show ran for 8 seasons in  Puerto Vallarta, Mexico as well as touring  Costa Rica and Canada. Carrie has performed at Canada’s Walk of Fame, played with Late Night With David Letterman’s’ Paul Schaffer, blues legend Paul Butterfield, Canada’s Queen of the Blues Rita Chiarelli, English songwriter and gay icon Tom Robinson, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, entertained at private parties for Rick Moranis and Tom Hanks, and opened for the one and only Phyllis Diller. Carrie’s hard hitting funk band FAT LUCY’s music has been described as soulful tight and muscular. A long time regular in the Women’s Blues Revue house-band, she is a persevering, wandering sax slinger for hire these days- in case you are looking.
