Montreal Jazz Festival
Day 2: July 1st, 2022
with Corinne Bailey Rae, Noga Erez, Justin Saladino Band
After an epic opening night with Tash Sultana and Alicia Moffet, we returned to the Montreal Jazz Festival for a second day of festivities! While we thought it was already busy during Les Francos, we hadn’t seen anything yet as the festival grounds were buzzing with people much earlier in the afternoon, despite the swealtering heat!
We started our evening at the Rogers Stage with the Justin Saladino Band. The Montreal-based singer and his six-piece band killed their set with a mix of blues, roots and rock that made it impossible for the crowd to stand still!
Next up, Israeli electro-pop singer-songwriter Noga Erez had a big crowd waiting for her at the Rio Tinto Stage. Alone with two musicians on stage, she occupied the stage as she danced around, captivating the audience with her engaged lyrics and dreamy voice.
Finally, we finished our night at the TD Stage for the main free show of the night, British soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae. Accompanied by three musicians, she gave a soft and sensual performance, shining on the stage not only because of her sparkly dress! Her songs about love were the perfect way to wrap Canada Day festivities on a relaxed note.
