Elizabeth will wrap up her Spring Tour at Trinity St Paul’s United Church in Toronto on April 17 with her first big hometown show since her sold-out CD release at Glenn Gould Studio in March 2010. The two-time JUNO nominee spent much of the past 14 months touring in Japan, Europe, Canada, and the US, selling out legendary clubs from Tokyo to Detroit.

We are pleased to announce that Elizabeth will be joined at Trinity St. Paul’s by inimitable vocalist and pianist Denzal Sinclaire.

Denzal Sinclaire is a multiple Juno Award nominee, a recipient of the 2004 National Jazz Award for “Best Album”, a four-time consecutive recipient of Jazz Report Magazine Award for Male Jazz Vocalist, and 2007 Choc Jazzman Award (France). His admirers include Grammy Award-Winning artists, Diana Krall (“Denzal Sinclaire embodies the tradition of the great singers I love like Nat Cole, yet definitely has his own voice. He is one of my favorite singers…”), Bette Midler, Dianne Reeves, Branford Marsalis and Michel Bublé as well as growing legions of jazz fans in his native Canada and abroad. From his early days as a canny interpreter of Nat ‘King’ Cole’s mentholated crooning, he’s grown into one of the most distinctive and individualistic singers anywhere.

Elizabeth Shepherd’s hugely successful 2010 album Heavy Falls the Night was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and has been praised by pop and jazz critics at home and abroad. Here are some of the accolades for the record:
