Wild Blue Herons are making their debut performance at The Jazz Room in Waterloo, Ontario with stellar Toronto musicians: Ted Quinlan (guitar), Pat Collins (bass), and Mark Kelso (drums). This is a dynamite band!

Come and enjoy an evening of groove oriented jazz with a pop/gospel twist (reminiscent of Joe Sample and Lalah Hathaway) to intimate ballads by the great ladies of jazz.   They will be playing their arrangements of select standards as well as originals.

Bill’s emotional, playful and meticulous accompaniment added to Darlene’s “rich stunning vocals, where every note is delivered flawlessly” (Tom Haugen, Take Effect ) create a warm and mesmerizing synergy.   

Sharing a particular passion for song stylist, Nancy Wilson, they tug on your heart strings through their beautiful spin and storytelling.  

 “Pure emotion… a full on listening experience that sizzles deceptively” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record)
