A high energy Vancouver band with a unique moniker and line-up will be the next act featured at the Township of 91原创鈥檚 Summer Festival Series on Thursday, Aug. 15.
Trilojay is named after the three Jays who make up the Vancouver group: Jay Leonard Juatco, Jay Esplana, and Jason Nickel.
With an energetic pop sound ranging from roots rock to funk, they perform an extensive song list that includes everything from classic rock and soul to modern hits.
This free concert is another installment of 91原创 Township鈥檚 Summer Festival Series. The initiative, kick-started by arts and culture director Peter Tulumello, is a chance for locals to come out and enjoy live music.
One of the members, Jay Juatco, said the members each have a different code-name so no one, including themselves, gets confused.
鈥淲e have a code, I鈥檓 Jay-1, the keyboardist is Jay-2, and then there鈥檚 Jason,鈥� he explained. 鈥淲e were all pretty good friends who were in different bands. It just worked out that way.鈥�
This band will take the stage at the Willoughby Community Park Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. They are stepping in for Baby FuzZ, whose originally scheduled appearance has been postponed until next year鈥檚 festival.
That doesn鈥檛 mean they鈥檙e not prepared for a good time however, Juatco said the busy band plays about 150 shows a year - each one of them uniquely different and specifically tailored to each crowd.
鈥淲e look at the audience and get a feel for the general mood and then work with that and go with the vibe. There are usually some big age ranges so we鈥檒l do older songs for parents and newer songs for the younger crowd,鈥� Juatco said. 鈥淪ometimes newer songs done in an older style.鈥�
