GREGG STAFFORD
@ GROSSMAN’S TAVERN, TORONTO
MAY 31, 2024
New Orleans Jazz musician Gregg Stafford was recently back in Toronto performing at Grossman’s Tavern on Spadina Avenue. Gregg has been coming up to Toronto to perform for NOLA Stomp for the past 10 years now, and he has also visited our fair city to record and play for over twenty years and counting.
Grossman’s Tavern held the perfect ambience for his two packed shows with dozens in attendance. Local organizers noted that they “had a wonderful time hosting the fabulous Gregory Stafford right here in Toronto this past weekend. His showmanship is only surpassed by his musicianship! Thank you to all our volunteers and the staff at Grossman’s Tavern for everything! Looking forward to next year.”
Thanks goes out to the organizers and the band of local heroes who joined Gregg onstage — Alto Sax: Toby Hughes Trombone: Charlotte McAfee-Brunner Piano: Roberta Hunt Banjo: Brian Sasaki Bass: Colin Bray Drums: Chuck Clarke. Together, they truly made this a night to remember for Toronto music fans.
