Saturday nights can be tough when there are three great shows competing with my blues show on CKXU.
I almost forgot about Jason Collett’s show at the Geomatic Attic, April 30 But caught the last few songs.
He had a good sized audience smiling and dancing in their seat by playing a lot of groove laden pop and R and B music.
His backing band, fellow Torontonians Zeus were exceptional adding funky breaks, tasteful guitar solos and sweet vocal harmonies.
Collett told a story about writing a song about getting kicked out of his Grade 9 dance because he and his date were smoking a super-joint which caught his ’80s style velour shirt on fire.
The show was all about having a whole lot of soul and emotion as the audience hung in every word.
He ended the set playing an intimate acoustic song on his own.
