JazzInToronto’s Late Night Jam Session at The Emmet Ray

EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, 11:30pm-2:00am

Join us every week for this community event, which, thanks to our sponsors, is FREE for jammers and Pay-What-You-Can for listeners!

These informal, friendly, inclusive sessions are a safe space for all in the cozy Emmet Ray (924 College Street). Kitchen open until midnight, arrive early for the best seats.

How it works: the house band plays a short set and then the jam host welcomes instrumentalists and vocalists of all levels to take the stage in an informal session. The stage is shared by everyone so feel free to get up when the time is right, and don’t stay up for more than a few songs at a time. If you need any help or guidance, ask the host.

If you are a young musician then this is the jam for you to meet others, get inspired, and take the stage if you are comfortable performing jazz standards, blues or the occasional pop tune.
If you are a jazz fan who does not perform but loves the music, then this is also the place for you! Discover some of the up-and-coming talent, rising stars as well as established players who often drop by after their gigs.

Thank You to our returning sponsors for making this session accessible to all: Gruvi Non-Alcoholic; Great Lakes Brewery, Woodhouse Brewing, County Cider.

Our rotating hosts this summer are: Ori Dagan, Alison Kerfoot, Selena Savage and Angela Pincente.
