Doug Riley was a native of Toronto but he called PEI his home. He passed away unexpectedly in Calgary this past summer on his way home from a Jazz and Blues Festival. He was a pillar in the musical community. A composer, arranger, pianist, organist and record producer he worked with some of the most prolific artists in the classical, jazz and commercial genres. His accomplishments are significantly impressive and are a testament to Mr. Riley’s incredible musical prowess. His influence on Canadian popular music after 1970 was enormous.
Proceeds from the concert will go towards establishing scholarships at UPEI.
2007-2008 Music PEI Funding Documents are NOW Available. Visit our Grants & Funding resources page for details, and documentation for guidelines and applications.
