Composed of musicians Dennis Passley, Rakesh Tewari, David Gouveia, Martino Lozej, and Eon Sinclair — Astral RIDDIMS, a five-piece spiritual Jazz band, is not to be missed!

Astral RIDDIMS is found by Dennis Passley, a Toronto-based professional creative, composer, saxophonist and bandleader who has sustained an international touring career for over 25 years.  He also leads Northern Soul Horns (including the release of Big Band Theory). Beyond the stage, Passley founded the Toronto People’s Library, reflecting his commitment to accessibility and amplifying underrepresented voices.

Tiny Concert Series

This performance is part of events that we’re calling our Tiny Concert Series for Torontonians, increasing the community’s access to shared arts and culture experiences.

We will be hosting free and low-cost, outdoor music events over the spring/summer months, moving them indoors if the weather is poor. The music programming will span a range of genres including R&B, soul, reggae, and jazz and will feature the dynamic talents of local musicians.
