Jerry Leger at Old Church Theatre
April 6 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
$25.00
It’s always a great time when Jerry Leger comes to the Old Church Theatre and this time he’s bringing Katie Cruel to kick off the show!
As Toronto’s music scene has grown in stature on the world stage, singer/songwriter Jerry Leger has been making his own significant contributions. A favourite of Uncut Magazine and Rolling Stone Germany, Leger has also earned the praise of fellow artists Ron Sexsmith and Doug Paisley, while maintaining a long relationship with Cowboy Junkies as part of their Latent Recordings roster, with their songwriter/guitarist Michael Timmins serving as producer.
On his new album, Donlands, Leger has taken a different approach, teaming up with legendary Canadian producer/engineer Mark Howard, whose trademark atmospheric sound adds an entirely new dimension to Leger’s approach. Named after the street in Toronto’s east end where it was recorded, in what once was the Donlands Theatre, Donlands presents Jerry Leger as he’s never been heard before.
Katie Cruel released her debut album, Lost Vagus, in September, 2023. Produced by Mark Howard (Neil Young, Bob Dylan, REM, Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, etc.), her 2 singles, Desert Valley Nights and Calling Out Your Name, received multiple plays on CBC radio, ZOOMER radio and many college and indie stations. A great start!
Since releasing her debut, Katie Cruel has supported Timber Timbre on a sold-out Ontario tour, and completed her own small release tour in celebration of Lost Vagus alongside Jerry Leger.
