All That Jazz 🎷

Lousje's love of Jazz takes her to some very beautiful places and allows her to witness some very special performances. Last weekend she attended a Jazz Under the Stars concert at Jackson-Triggs Winery as part of the 2023 Niagara Jazz Festival.

The Niagara Jazz Festival was started in 2014 by Lousje's dear friend Juliet Dunn and her husband Peter Shea. Wildly talented performers in their own right, the couple have grown the event to span several days every Summer and have hosted unimaginably gifted musicians. Sadly last year, Peter passed away and in his honour and legacy Juliet has kept the wonderful tradition going.

On Saturday night of this year's festival, Lousje was awestruck by Canadian jazz singer and Juno award winner Laila Bali. Her beautiful voice boomed out of the amphitheater and over the grape covered rows of vines on what was a perfect Niagara Summer night - until...the sky opened up and drenched the audience.The show did go on, with Lousje and Glenn staying til the very final moments while wrapped in plastic ponchos.

Lousje made a bright and beautiful statement at the concert in the Marie La Lune linen dress layered with their cotton sweater, both in gorgeous Fuchsia. Perfect for a Summer evening out, even after being soaked through with rain.
