The Jitters ride again! The band that formed in Toronto in 1981 (and allegedly broke up ten
years later) continues to occasionally get together and make music. Last seen performing live
in 2019, Blair, Danny, Matt, and David are still the rocking pop band they’ve always been. In the
80s, the band opened for The Kinks, The Byrds, Huey Lewis and the News, Colin James and
more. March 1988 saw them support Heart in the UK, closing off the tour with three sold-out
nights at Wembley Arena, where The Jitters received standing ovations. “Last of the Red Hot
Fools” not only became a Top Twenty single in Canada, it broke into the BBC’s Hot 100.
Always video favourites, with their indie single “Take Me As I Am,” their 1990 song “’Til the
Fever Breaks” rose to #4 on the MuchMusic countdown. Nominated for a Juno in 1988, The
Jitters won the Toronto Music Award for Best Rising Stars in 1990. At Hugh’s Room, as in past
appearances, the band promises to break out the old songs as well as a few new surprises.

296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
