Bringing Bublé to Burlington: An Interview with Jay Davis
Jazz on the Plaza has become a staple of the Burlington Performing Arts Centre's summer lineup. Every year, jazz enthusiasts gather on the corner of Elgin and Locust streets to enjoy the kind of old-fashioned tunes that had flappers swirling cocktails in the Roaring Twenties. It's that snazzy and animated kind of music that welcomed in radio programming, and lively voices and sounds are the essential ingredients of the genre. This year, Burlingtonians can anticipate a distinguished program of hearty jazz singers that includes Amanda Martinez, Heather Bambrick, and Alex Pangman, among others. Jazz on the Plaza runs from Friday, August 8, to Sunday, August 10. Staring the weekend off strong is Ontario-based musician Jay Davis. On Friday, August 8, at 6:00 p.m., Davis will be the lead of Feeling Bublé, a tribute act that honours the accomplishments of Canadian singer and songwriter Michael Bublé. Davis and his band are also slotted to perform again at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre on December 6, 2025, for their festive Jay Davis — Feeling Bublé Christmas show. Davis, who was born in Elmira, Ontario, comes from a musically gifted Mennonite family and has enjoyed a busy and varied music career that has stretched three decades. Davis has agreed to speak about his five-year tenure as a Michael Bublé tribute singer and what he brings to his performances all around Canada. Answers have been condensed and lightly edited for clarity and flow. What is it about Michael Bublé's songs that really resonates with you? What I really enjoy about Bublé is the way he phrases stuff. What I mean by phrasing is the musical sentences that he creates. He does his pop stuff and his jazz stuff, but he's always surprising you. The first time you listen to one of his songs, it doesn't sound like how you would expect it to sound, whether it's a cover of 'Come Fly With Me' or 'Moondance.' The first time you listen to one of his songs, it's surprising and it's exciting. I thought to myself when I started, maybe I can absorb Bublé's knowledge of the jazz phrasing and the timing. Through doing this over the past five years, I've grown so much as a singer and as a musician. It's been a great endeavour for me, and I'm really happy that it continues to provide me with all sorts of positive things. How do you blend your own personal style with Bublé's music? I would say that I've now developed my own jazz style. I love singing. I practice all the time. If I'm in my truck driving from one place to another, I'm singing the whole time. I'll sing until my voice is raw. It's something that just brings me so much joy. You know, after all these years, it's funny you're asking me that question today because I sang the whole three hours up the cottage, as you can probably hear in my voice. I've been singing my heart out. Depending on what time signature you're playing in, and when you're playing with three other guys, you just feel where that phrase is going to land. You have freedom, especially in jazz. You can pretty much do anything before that moment in time lands. The question is, what makes a really good musical sentence? You've got the setup and then the payoff. These are the things I've just been really nailing down these past five years. You can land right on the one or the four or whatever the end of the phrase is. Maybe you even keep it suspenseful, and you four-phrase a little before you get into the chorus. Experimenting with and refining that stuff has been very exciting. It's one thing to perfectly emulate Michael Bublé's phrasing. The feel might just be a little different depending on what tempo we've landed at. I try to sound like him and do his little '-isms' while at the same time giving myself the freedom to really just blend with what's happening at that moment in the music. What would you consider the key to success when it comes to being a tribute singer? I don't know! Pick a good person to do a tribute of, I guess. I'm still really new compared to so many other people who are veterans in this business. I follow all these guys on Facebook, and when I was first getting into it, I would go and watch them. I would be like, 'What is this all about? What are they doing with Bublé?' I went down a different path. I'm not an exact match for Michael Bublé. I'm a different sort of body type. We are the same age and we're both Canadian. My voice sits a little bit higher than his. I do raise his songs up a semitone, generally. I used to have several versions of the show where I would pretend to be him. And those all worked out fine. But as we've gone along, I've realized that I like to sing the songs a bit different. My style is sort of departing and separating from his as it naturally would. What can the people of Burlington expect from the upcoming Christmas show in December? A lot. I've been working on it. We did one version of the show last year in Owen Sound, and it sold pretty well. That is what people really relate to when they think about Michael Bublé. They think about Christmas. He's sort of become the face of the start of the Christmas season, like in that meme where he comes out of the cave. What we've been working on as a band is adding backup vocals, which I think adds a whole new element to the music. We were also thinking about starting with a second keyboard player for extra sounds and then a saxophone player for horns. To the people of Burlington, I want to say, come out and support us. We're going to give you the same charming, funny show with world-class music. We plan on sticking around, so if we can all get on board and support this thing, who knows what it could turn into in the future? Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

17 Celebrity Encounters That Turned Out To Be Wholesome
Redditors who have worked with or been around celebrities before were asked to share something we might not know about those Hollywood stars, and a lot of the experiences were truly so sweet. Chris Hemsworth André René Roussimoff (better known as André the Giant) Tom Hanks Tom Cruise André 3000 Ariana Grande Weird Al Michael Bublé "I played hockey with Michael Bublé. I expected a stuck-up rich dude who thought he was better than everyone. He wasn't. He was so genuinely kind. And it's not like he was putting on a show. It was just a bunch of people who mostly knew each other getting together to play hockey, so he had no reason to be anyone but himself.I ended up on his team for the game. We chatted on the bench after each shift. Super cool dude. Down to earth. We talked about his Christmas special, and that year [Justin] Bieber was on, and I asked about Bieber's low-riding pants, and Michael just said, 'Young kid, what can ya do?' But generally had good things to say about most memorable moment was when my buddy and him talked. My buddy is really good at hockey. Michael said, 'Here's the deal, I'll give you all the women you want and you give me your hockey skills.' Michael sucks at hockey but is super cool." —The original poster of this thread Adam Sandler Giancarlo Esposito "Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul) used to live in a town a little ways away from my hometown growing up. The people who owned his house before he did used to host a Bernese Mountain Dog meetup/parade thing, which my family would go to because we had a Berner at the time (this was circa 2003-2005). When Giancarlo bought the house, he kept it up and even had the event catered, and would hang out with all these random people and their dogs. We knew he was an actor who was on a bunch of TV shows, but he wasn't very well known at the time (again, about five years before Breaking Bad); we just knew him as a really nice dude who was way more okay with metric tons of dog shit on his lawn than most human beings. Years later, my mom and I binge-watched Breaking Bad, and she flipped out when she realized that Gus Fuckin' Fring had given her children cupcakes and complimented her dog." —anonymous Bryan Cranston Sandra Bullock Gary Sinise "I escorted Gary Sinise around for a day. He was the nicest guy. He stopped and talked to every soldier and would actively listen to them and get to know their stories. We chatted for a while in the vehicles as we were transported from training site to training site. I first saw him getting off his private plane, and he was carrying his own bags, which shocked me. You could run into him and never know he was a isn't another celebrity I respect more than Gary." —anonymous Prince Jack Black Kelly Clarkson Lastly, Matthew McConaughey Have you had a wholesome interaction with a celebrity?

How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future
How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future The New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) is charting a course for Egypt's most ambitious urban development project. Away from the dense fabric of Cairo, a new city is taking shape. It has all the trademarks of modern state-building: ministries, high-speed links, entertainment venues, and masterplans thick with ambition. But behind the steel and glass is an entity quietly shaping not just buildings, but perception - both at home and abroad. That entity is the New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD), the owner and master developer of Egypt's New Capital. Founded to deliver on Egypt's vision of a diversified, future-facing economy, ACUD is operating on an increasingly international stage. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the company has pushed forward on multiple fronts - from global representation at high-profile industry events to strategic memoranda of understanding with regional governments. At MIPIM 2025 in Cannes, one of the real estate industry's most prestigious gatherings, ACUD stood as Egypt's sole representative. This marks its third consecutive year at the summit. Recognition soon followed. ACUD was awarded the 2025 ACE (Acknowledging Contribution & Excellence) Award for its work in shaping Egypt's first sustainable city - a win that positions the New Capital not only as a local solution, but as a case study in urban innovation. That same vision was carried to the Real Estate Future Forum (REFF) in Riyadh, where ACUD took part in high-level regional discussions about smart city frameworks and urban resilience. But perhaps most telling is ACUD's steady expansion of influence across Africa. In Q1, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Zambia, the third such agreement with an African nation following an earlier pact with Zimbabwe and one currently in process with Madagascar. These agreements are part of a broader soft power play: to export Egyptian urban planning expertise and invite local private sector stakeholders to do the same. Add to that a growing Asian footprint - ACUD now counts MoUs with South Korea and China - and the New Capital begins to read less like a national project and more like a transcontinental venture. Back at home, ACUD continues to entrench itself in Egypt's domestic growth narrative. In April, the company showcased its smart city solutions at Bahrain's Social Housing Innovation Exhibition & Conference. It activated a new entertainment strategy in partnership with LNME and TM, launching cultural events headlined by artists like Michael Bublé, Khaled Ghattas and Cairokee, testament to the city's bid for livability and lifestyle appeal. The New Capital is also increasingly framed as a logistical upgrade. In Q1, ACUD ramped up messaging around the city's proximity to Greater Cairo and key transit routes, highlighting improved access and reduced commute times as selling points not just for businesses, but for families and institutions considering relocation. Finally, ACUD bolstered its presence within national economic networks, participating in the Egyptian Businessmen's Association and reinforcing its role as a bridge between public planning and private enterprise. The New Capital is still under construction. But ACUD's Q1 activity suggests it is no longer just building a city, it's building a case. A case for Egypt's relevance in the global real estate conversation. A case for strategic urbanism as soft power. And a case for Cairo's successor not as a replacement, but as a recalibration.
