Molly Johnson Will Appear Live In Calgary Next Week

JazzYYC announces the 7:00 p.m. first show at King Eddy with Molly Johnson is sold out and tickets are available for the 9:30 p.m. second show.

Each show consists of one concert set.

"We are grateful for the support of the Calgary music scene," says JazzYYC Artistic Director Kodi Hutchinson. "Audiences are craving live music and we're delighted to be able to present Molly Johnson at King Eddy. Some tickets still remain for the 9:30 p.m. show at King Eddy."

Molly Johnson's voice evokes the aura of dark, smoky nightclubs of a bygone era. It speaks to an emotional depth that few vocalists in any genre ever reach. Like the woman behind it, it is a voice filled with humour, joy, surprise, sassiness and of course, love.

A highly respected philanthropist and Officer to the Order of Canada, she has raised millions of dollars for people living with HIV/AIDS with her own Kumbaya Foundation and many other charitable organizations that she supports. Molly also hosted a weekend morning program on CBC Radio 2 for five years. In 2016, Molly launched the Kensington Market Jazz Festival, which fills the colourful and vibrant area of Toronto with over 400 Canadian musicians performing 150+ shows over one weekend in September to over 5000 enthusiastic music fans.
