Two-time Grammy award winner Etta James will be performing at The Hummingbird Centre on Tuesday, June 27, 2006, as part of the TD Canada Trust Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival.
Best known for classics such as “At Last, Something's Got a Hold On Me", “Dance With Me Henry" and “Fool That I Am", Etta has gone on to become one of the most prolific female R&B vocalists of her era, alongside Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick.
First discovered by Johnny Otis as a young teen in the 1950s, Etta has spent the past five decades making definitive blues, soul and R&B music. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall of Fame and awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, Etta James has truly become one of the great forces in music.
The TD Canada Trust Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival will be cookin' for 10 days this summer when it takes over the city from June 23 - July 2, 2006. Bringing all that jazz for the past two decades, the festival is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with more than 1500 musicians performing over 350 concerts at more than 40 locations across the city.
