City Sonic: Jason Collett in Kensington Market
July 23, 2009Director: Peter Lynch, 2009
Singer/songwriter Jason Collett has lived all over Toronto, but he feels most connected to Kensington Market. This unique neighbourhood features not only diverse music venues, shopping and food markets, but a history of art and social activism. For his latest album, Jason even penned a tribute to one of Kensington’s earliest figures, called “Angel of Kensington.” Now he takes us into Paul’s Boutique music shop to try out the vintage gear and discuss how the vibrant cultural community there has shaped his life and music. Featuring exclusive live performance of a new unreleased song and a tour of Jason’s favourite Kensington haunts, this reflective portrait reveals an artist with deep roots.
