Whale of a Jam

Catch an all-star blues jam in the Engineered Air Theatre at Arts Commons, featuring Arts Commons Presents’ favourites: Dawn Tyler Watson, Tim Williams, Yolanda Sargeant, Ollee Owens with the Timothonius Trio!

You may have seen the award-winning Dawn Tyler Watson previously this year in Queens of the Blues (with co-star Shemekia Copeland) in the Jack Singer Concert Hall at Arts Commons – but here’s your chance to catch her up close and personal. The blues musician and arts educator is returning to deliver the keynote presentation at Arts Commons Education’s signature event – the 2024 Arts ReimaginED Summit – on Saturday, June 1. We couldn’t help but kick things off a night early with Watson, some friends, and a few decorative whales handmade by students in our Education programs (trust us, they’re pretty cool!).

Intimate, fiery blues shows in the Engineered Air Theatre are a beloved tradition with Arts Commons Presents – this is a warm return and thank-you to those who have missed them.
