Toronto, on – Loved for his sultry soul performances, Juno Award Winning R&B Icon Sean Jones and his band, The Righteous Echo, are bringing audiences an unforgettable night of music on September 12 at the elMocambo in support of Trust 15 Chairty. The charity Rebuilds , empowers and transforms youth & is founded and Executive Directed by Marcia Brown. The show will feature nostalgic sounds, along with original compositions and beloved old-school hits. Joining him are legendary singer Jackie Richardson, and JUNO and Award-winning singer-songwriter Sammy Jackson.
Sean Jones was a part of the successful boy band, In Essence. The group rose to fame in the early 90’s with the hits, Friend Of Mine, IE IE and You Will Never Find and received worldwide recognition for their ability to combine Rap, Pop, and R&B with exciting performances. In 2004 In Essence, won a Juno for their debut album before breaking up in 2006. Post break up, Jones took an interest in song writing and producing. Over the next ten years, he put together a catalogue of songs that stretched in genre from soft rock to Motown Revival. It was his take on soulful classics, however, that would eventually land him a unique and incredible opportunity to showcase his skills. In 2015, Sean became the first artist to secure a solo summer residency at the historic Casa Loma in downtown Toronto. The Monday night revue titled Soul In The City gave Jones and his nine-piece band, The Righteous Echo, the chance to showcase his original songs as well as their take on popular old school hits. The show would also give emerging artists a stage to share their talents.
“The sad reality is that there are fewer and fewer live music venues. This means that there are fewer opportunities for artists to get in front of a crowd this size. The fact that I can share my stage, my band, and my audience with these artists is something that I am happy to do and extremely proud of.” Soul In The City, through Jones’ hard work and tenacity, has grown to 1000+ people every Monday night. The night’s overwhelming success led to WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline, handpicking Sean to create a musical experience for the passengers aboard their flights. For the project titled, The WestJet Boarding Sessions, Jones recorded new versions of classic Canadian hits such as These Eyes by The Guess Who, The Weight by The Band, and Angel by Sarah McLachlan and flew across Canada to interview some of these cherished musical icons.
