Miss Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings blew into town tonight to play the TD Toronto Jazz Festival – in the big tent at Nathan Phillips Square. Fortunately for us, Tuffy P heard about the upcoming show while I was off on a road-trip back in May, and got us a pair of tickets.

She’s 60 years old; she’s fighting cancer – and with the help of a fantastic soul/funk band and two strong back-up singers, Sharon Jones put on a killer, high-energy performance tonight.
