We are proud to present a unique night of music with two esteemed singer-songwriters, Canada's Jerry Leger and the UK's Danny George Wilson. Two artists who are synonymous for defining the Americana-scene in their respective countries
Jerry Leger is a singer-songwriter, born and raised in the East End of Toronto.
Since recording his first album at 19, Leger has been a prolific presence over the last twenty years, consistently releasing albums under his own name and through various side projects.
For more than a decade, Leger was signed to Cowboy Junkies' label, Latent Recordings. All of his releases on the label were produced by the Junkies' Michael Timmins, with the exception of 2023's Donlands, which was produced by Grammy winning veteran engineer and producer Mark Howard. Upon release, Donlands received high praise in publications such as Uncut Magazine and Rolling Stone Germany.
In 2020, Leger expanded his artistic endeavors by publishing a book of poetry titled Just The Night Birds.
Most recently, Leger has signed with DevilDuck Records, based in Hamburg, Germany, for his fourteenth studio album, Waves of Desire.
Besides countless headlining dates across Canada, the United States, Europe and the UK, Jerry has opened for many artists including Steve Earle, Dawes, The Sadies, and renowned Canadian songwriter Ron Sexsmith. Sexsmith has praised Leger as “the real deal”, highlighting his authentic voice in the Canadian music scene.
Danny George Wilson (Grand Drive, Danny & The Champions Of The World, Bennett Wilson Poole) is a central figure in shaping the UK’s modern Americana landscape.
Nominated for Best Live Act at the 2025 UK Americana Awards with Danny & The Champions Of The World and headlining many festival stages throughout the UK and Europe, Danny has gained a legion of followers who will travel great distances to see him play.
His latest album with The Champs, You Are Not a Stranger Here was described as “a beautiful record” by Bob Harris (Radio 2) and as “an absolutely fantastic album – a contender for Record Of The Year” by Robert Elms (BBC Radio London)
