Two of Calgary’s most accomplished musicians share the Cornerstone stage for one special night. Jory Kinjo and Aaron Young go way back: they’ve played together in the long-running soul band The Mocking Shadows, and Aaron has produced and played on Jory’s own records. Now they’re together in an intimate room where you can hear every note. Jory Kinjo grew up in Calgary playing old-school soul with The Mocking Shadows. He opened for B.B. King on three Canadian tours and shared bills with ZZ Top and Buddy Guy. In 2007 he toured Europe playing bass for Montreal’s ska legends The Planet Smashers, and that tour started his love of ska and reggae. He went on to form JK & the Relays, who were breakout performers at the Montreal and Victoria Ska Festivals. With his brothers in the Kinjo Bros., he has performed many times in Okinawa, Japan, including at the Naha Matsuri Festival, which was broadcast live, and at the World Uchinanchu Taikai. He has played alongside artists from UB40 and Hugh Masekela to Ziggy Marley, and he has brought acts like The Slackers and The Aggrolites to Alberta for the first time. Aaron Young had produced, arranged and performed on more than 15 albums by age 23. In the 30 years since, that number has passed 180 albums and 7,500 live performances worldwide. That includes five years touring Asia, Scandinavia, the UK and North America with the world-beat stage show Barrage, with appearances on PBS, CBC, MTV, Bravo and the BBC. He has worked with John Wort Hannam, Susan Aglukark, Kellylee Evans, The Polyjesters and many more. His solo show brings together world-class guitar playing in the spirit of Tommy Emmanuel and the great singer-songwriters of the ’60s and ’70s through today. Expect soul, reggae, roots, brilliant guitar work, and great stories from two musicians who have played together for years. Seating is limited, so get your tickets early.
