2022 OMA award winner Jadea Kelly will return to her beginnings for a residency at the Cameron House in Toronto July 11, 18, & 25, 2023. Kelly has been living in Los Angeles so this gives her closer to home fans a chance to catch up.
"The Cameron House was home to me for all of 2010. Every Tuesday from 6-8 pm. It provided an opportunity to build my Toronto audience, hone my sound and find my voice. I have nothing but fond memories in this space. The Cameron House represents my 20s and a family of Canadian artists dedicated to their craft. I look forward to returning this July 2023 during the same Tuesday 6-8PM time slot, to showcase my new unreleased album produced by Jim Bryson this past year.” says Kelly.
Each evening will have a surprise guest sit in with Kelly. And of course as someone who has co-written and/or toured with such lights as Justin Rutledge, Whitehorse, Judy Collins, Catherine MacLellan, Royal Wood, Kelly Prescott, Sweet Alibi, Peter Katz, The Digging Roots, Leela Gilday and Joey Landreth, as well as singing with Protest The Hero, its anyone’s guess as to who may show up.
Jadea's fourth studio album, Roses, was released in March 2022 and garnered Kelly the OMA Single of the Year award for ‘Happy’.
