The 33z highly anticipated tribute project brings together talented musicians and celebrates the music of legendary artists. Previous years have featured the music of Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson and Aretha Franklin to sold out audiences. 2021 pays tribute to the genius of the legendary Dolly Parton. Music for this production is arranged by Ed Lister and Petr Cancura. Each singer will select and perform their own interpretation of one song from the music pioneer.

The 33z feature: Petr Cancura - saxophone, Ed Lister - trumpet, Alex Moxon - guitar, Michael Herring - bass, Jamie Holmes - drums, Clayton Connell - piano, and vocalists Kellylee Evans, Rebecca Noelle, Julie Corrigan.

The singer-songwriter won a 2011 JUNO Award and has been captivating audiences along the way, opening for stars such as John Legend, George Benson and Willie Nelson.

Rebecca Noelle

Blessed with a three octave vocal range, Rebecca Noelle has had the privilege and versatility to try her hand at just about every musical style she wanted to over the years. With a velvety voice that is simply unforgettable, Rebecca was invited by The Jacksons to make a guest appearance at their sold-out Canadian date in Montreal.
