Aaron Shorr | Jazz at the Fort Garry Hotel

  • Fort Garry Hotel 222 Broadway Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3C 0R3 Canada (map)

We're excited to kick off our Fall '24 Jazz at the Fort Garry Hotel season with a special guest, former Winnipeger and guitarist extraordinaire, Aaron Shorr.

Aaron Shorr started playing guitar as a young teenager, and developed an interest in jazz through his grandmother’s record collection. He studied at Humber College in Toronto, the University of Manitoba, and privately with international jazz icons like Jonathan Kreisberg, Miles Okazaki, and Bruce Forman. He has performed with William Bonness, Caity Gyorgy, Jon McCasslin, and with Winnipeg's Rainbow Stage, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Aaron also sits as musical director for Still Crazy: The Music of Paul Simon. In 2023 Aaron released his debut album Omand’s Creek (self released). Now living in Calgary, he maintains a busy schedule of performing and teaching.

We're thrilled to welcome Aaron back to Winnipeg for this special performance featuring pianist Carter Graham, bassist Julian Bradford, and drummer Kevin Waters.
