2016 marks the third year since the untimely passing of our musician friend Jay Smith. To honour his memory – and spirit – we’re arranging a celebration of his life and music to benefit the Unison Benevolent Fund at The Carleton on Friday, March 25th. Show time will be 9 PM and tickets are $30.
This year’s event will feature a Halifax All Star Band performing Jay’s entire album with able help from guest vocalists Adam Baldwin, Brian Byrne (I Mother Earth), Kim Harris & Melanie Stone, Joel Plaskett, Steve MacDougall (Slowcoaster), John Mullane (In-Flight Safety), Ian MacDougall (Tom Fun Orchestra), Mike Ryan (The Town Heroes), Dennis Ellsworth, Dave Sampson, Laura Merrimen and more…

This show will be a Rock’n’Roll affair and there will be standing room, so not the usual “shut up and listen” thing. This night will be a party.
