Toronto's very own Charlotte McAfee-Brunner, AKA Trombone Charlotte, has been working in the local Jazz scene since 2016 as a trombone sideman and has been singing and leading bands since 2021. With her roots in 30's and 40's swing and both classic and modern big band music, she has made a serious footprint in the Traditional New Orleans Jazz scene in Toronto as well. Some career highlights of the past few years include bandleading one or more times at Toronto Jazz Festival, Kensington Market Jazz Festival, Port Hope Jazz Festival, Mont Tremblant Blues Festival, and singing original songs in the 2023 Women's Blues Revue at Massey Hall. She also performed in a big band of Toronto's top musicians accompanying the Yellow Jackets at Koerner Hall and plays regularly at Toronto's Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar.
     Trombone Charlotte has recently returned from New Orleans where she played regularly at many iconic venues like the Spotted Cat, Fritzel's Jazz Pub, The Royal Frenchmen Hotel and more; sat in at Snug Harbor, Preservation Hall, and the Danny Barker Festival;  and played Trombone for Monty Banks at the French Quarter Festival and for Glen David Andrews at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. She also played Trombone for New Orleans' Chris Christy, a true artist with signature versions of traditional New Orleans tunes as well as original compositions which "can only be described as masterpieces," according to Charlotte. She is thrilled to feature Christy on guitar and his fiddle player Matt Andrews with top young Toronto Bass player Max Simpson to give you an unforgettable show at the 9th Annual World of Jazz Festival in Downtown Brampton.
     She's got a big voice, a big sound and is sure to give you a big smile!
