Featuring live music by KHAY, Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist celebrated for her soulful alternative pop/rock sound.

KHAY (Kh-AY) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and high-impact live performer whose music blends soulful emotion with alternative pop/rock force shaped by influences like Tina Turner, Mellisa Etheridge, and Mavis Staples. Known for her dynamic stage presence and powerhouse vocal tone, KHAY delivers performances that captivate, inspire, and resonate long after the final note.
Her artistic foundation includes major international credits: original cast member of Broadway’s Tony Award–winning RAGTIME, cast member of FOSSE, performances at Carnegie Hall, the Stratford Festival, and appearances in the Oscar-winning film Chicago. She has shared stages with icons such as Chita Rivera, Julie Andrews, Liza Minnelli, Glenn Close, and Rosie O’Donnell, and acted alongside Angela Bassett, Tessa Thompson, and Timothy Hutton.
Her singles Broken, Lie, and Alone showcase her signature sound—a fusion of bold vocals, emotional truth, and guitar-driven storytelling—with latest EP arriving Spring 2026.
