10:30 PM – Queen Pepper

QUEEN PEPPER (a.k.a. Mary Vanden Enden) is the complete package. She is a vocal powerhouse, accomplished song writer and she graces the stage with a spellbinding magnetic pull. Starting to sing at a young age and influenced by the church and gospel music she developed her multi-genre style with the help of studying in the jazz vocal program at Mohawk College and by paying her dues with years of appearances at local Toronto clubs. Prior to Covid she wrote her first original album with the collaboration of musician/writer Dave Antonacci and released a special single, “One Step Closer to Home” with many more to come in the near future. She can often be found playing at the Reservoir Lounge in downtown Toronto.
