Canada’s Teen Jam is thrilled to announce a second Finalists Showcase due to an overwhelming number of submissions. Mark your calendars for February 27, 2025, when the nation’s most talented teen musicians will take the stage at the iconic TD Music Hall. The October 10, 2024, showcase is now officially complete, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Renowned live music producer Mark Higgins, the visionary founder of Canada’s Teen Jam and Big Music Fest, which has featured legendary acts like Aerosmith, Soundgarden, Bryan Adams, Slash, The Tragically Hip, and ZZ Top, shared his enthusiasm for the program's success:

 "Our Discovery Program is creating the next generation of musical superstars, and I only wish I had started this program a decade ago," said Higgins. "Teen musical growth is absolutely essential for the future of our music industry! Without supporting our musical teens, the creative wall will stop."

 The October 10, 2024, showcase at TD Music Hall promises an unforgettable evening as these young artists take the stage to share their talent and passion.
