Looking for party central at MJF? Come to hear the Lester McLean Band. This high-energy Toronto band plays everything from funk and R&B to reggae, rock and current hits. Together for 20 years, this group sets itself apart by seamlessly flowing from one song to the next, often with surprising and fun-filled mashups, in response to the audience. The band is fronted by Lester McLean and organized by guitarist Michael Occhipinti, a nine-time Juno nominee and former artistic director of the Markham Jazz Festival.
