Annex Live
Show starts 7:00pm

You are invited to join us for dinner or just drinks. Great food, ambience and a nice place to relax and enjoy music.

"I've had the fortunate opportunity to visit ANNEX LIVE on several occasions to hear Julie sing with the great piano accompaniment of Norm Amadio.  How wonderful to sit back and hear old and new jazz classics rendered with such feeling.  I'd recommend anyone who appreciates good music, good jazz in a comfortable environment, to check them out."
Jerry Silverberg, The Cafe Society.

“ The entertainment was outstanding (great talent!) and the venue was a pleasant surprise. Didn't eat but heard the food is great and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Will definitely attend again!! ”

Beth, Member of the Jazz Meet Up Toronto Group.

Julie McGregor’s interest in jazz started at a very young age when listening to her father’s old jazz 78’s collection. It was the influence of those old artists that most greatly influenced her love of jazz and blues music.

Julie works with many great jazz musicians such as Norman Amadio, Bernie Senensky, Brian Dickinson, George Koller, Artie Roth and Mark Kieswetter to name only a few. She performed three times at the Parkdale Arts Festival and at the Burlington Jazz Festival.

In 2004, Julie won the Best Jazz Vocalist at the Burlington Jazz Festival. In Luminato’s first Art of Jazz Festival at the Distillery, she performed in the Barry Harris Choir with guest soloist Kevin Mahogony. In 2006, Julie was on stage with the Real Divas at the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival in Nathan Phillips Square. Julie has also organized two very successful musical fundraising events to help save a church in her neighbourhood, that is now historically designated.

Julie is a frequent performer at Annexlive where you can hear her sing with Toronto jazz legend, Norman Amadio on piano and where many special guests sit in. Julie also performs monthly at the Commensal, downtown Toronto, and sings at many other jazz venues.

"Caught jazz vocalist Julie McGregor’s act on St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto.

I have listened to Julie perform over the last decade and her voice has matured and mellowed into a very real and personal sound. Her phrasing in her up-tempo version of ‘Speak Low’ was impeccable. Standards like ‘End of a Love Affair’ and ‘You Don’t Know What Love Is’ had distinctive styling. And, for a steamy, humid Friday night, Dave’s was packed and most people stayed for the entire evening. Julie, hat on backwards and perched on a high stool, ended the night with a memorable rendition of ‘Good-Bye Pork Pie Hat’ by Charlie Mingus. The crowd loved it.

Julie McGregor is definitely a jazz vocalist to watch."
