Laila Biali
Thu, Nov 12, 2026
Laila Biali sits at the piano and sings her own songs, part jazz, part pop. She won a JUNO, Canada's top music award, for her record Laila Biali. This year she added a Grammy nod for her holiday album Wintersongs. Back home in Canada, she hosts Saturday Night Jazz on CBC. At Doc's, under the old Tower Theatre's high ceiling, she brings just her trio and lets the songs fill the room.

Doc's Presents: Laila Biali
Thu, Nov 12
Laila Biali grew up in Toronto and first trained as a classical pianist. She found her way into jazz, then started writing and singing her own songs. She hosts Saturday Night Jazz, a radio show on CBC back home in Canada. Her record Laila Biali won a JUNO. Her 2024 holiday album, Wintersongs, pairs strings and a chamber orchestra with her voice. It earned her a Grammy nod this year. At Doc's, inside the old Tower Theatre, it's just her trio, piano, bass and drums. She works her own songs in close, with a standard or two mixed in. She has played Carnegie Hall and shared a stage with Sting. Under a ceiling built in 1936, that same voice carries just as far with three players. It does the same job here that a full orchestra does on the record.
