Three time Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Jill Barber will be kicking off the fall season at The ACT in Maple Ridge.

Barber’s songs span the gamut from folk to vocal jazz to pop – in both English and French.

She is inspired by French pop music of the 1960’s and has earned numerous awards including the Sirius XM Jazz Artist of the Year and the East Coast Music Award for Album of the Year.

Her 2018 album Metaphora featured her number one hit song Girl’s Gotta Do and her jazz album Chances was certified Gold with more than 40,000 copies sold in Canada.

Barber’s music has also been featured in film and TV like Orange Is The New Black, The L Word, and Heartland. And her track Never Quit Loving You was featured in a global advertising campaign for Chrysler.

She has headlined in iconic venues like Toronto’s Massey Hall, Roy Thompson Hall, Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre, and Tokyo’s Blue Note and Cotton Club.
