Laura Fernandez
Madrid-born Laura Fernandez is a multi-talented artist: an acclaimed painter, a celebrated singer-songwriter, and a Steinway Artist. She’s performed internationally at renowned venues like Madison Square Garden and has shared stages with global icons such as Omara Portuondo. Her albums of original music, including *Un Solo Beso* and *Okay, Alright*, blend her Spanish roots with Latin and jazz and pop songwriting influences. In addition to her music, Fernandez hosts and produces the popular program *Café Latino* on JazzFM91. She was also recognized as one of the 10 Most Influential Hispanic Canadians in 2015.
Quarrington & Adams
Tony Quarrington and Zoey Adams have been collaborating for over twenty-five years, blending their talents into a distinctive and engaging act. Their songwriting partnership took off in 2017 when they created a full evening of original music for Sellers and Newell’s Speakeasy series in Toronto. Since then, they’ve written hundreds of songs across jazz, blues, pop, folk, swing, bluegrass, and Latin styles, with some even in Spanish and French. Their witty and sophisticated compositions have filled seven albums and even inspired a musical about the Dionne Quintuplets performed in North Bay. Quarrington’s jazz-infused guitar adds a vibrant spark, while Adams’s theatrical background brings a dynamic edge to their performances.
Noah Zacharin
Noah Zacharin is a Montreal-born guitar master and songwriter whose music defies genre boundaries. A performer since his teens, he’s released nine albums, most recently *Points of Light* (Sonic Peach), and his songs have been recorded by a range of Canadian and international artists. Zacharin has opened for legends like Odetta and Jesse Winchester, and critics have called him “in a league of his own.” In addition to his music, Zacharin is an award-winning poet, translator, and producer. His dynamic performances and songwriting are driven by a lifelong devotion to music’s poetic and expressive power.
Howard Gladstone
Toronto-born singer-songwriter Howard Gladstone crafts introspective music blending folk, jazz, roots and world influences. A life-changing spinal cord injury in 2014 deepened his creative path, leading to Hourglass(2017) and The Promise (2020). His latest album, Crazy Talk (2024), is his eighth release, featuring collaborations with Laura Fernandez and Tony Quarrington. Gladstone’s songs are marked by honesty, poetry, and quiet strength. He’s also the author of Timepieces, a book of his lyrics spanning his eight albums. The Toronto Star described his music as “a lost gem from another time.” Gladstone performs monthly at the Tranzac Club, continuing to share his art and build community.
