Dominique Fils-Aimé will be returning to the Dakota Jazz Club, in Minneapolis, on September 13, 2026. The show continues Dominique’s The Sunshine World Tour which has stopped in Austria, Monaco, Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Canada, and now the United States.

We saw Dominique Fils-Aimé in September 2025 and wrote, “Dominique is from Canada and a daughter of Haitian Immigrants. She has been performing for about ten years, introducing herself to a broader audience when she competed on Quebec’s version of The Voice aka La Voix in 2015. From there she has released four albums, two of them winning the Canadian Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, they being Stay Tuned from 2019 and Our Roots Run Deep in 2023. She also released her first live album this year, Live at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. As she took the stage with her band, she did something unusual but made perfect sense. She introduced her band, saying, “You wouldn’t go to a party and introduce people at the end of the evening.” She also asked the audience to refrain from clapping after every song. The reason was to create a flow and to help her and the band keep in the musical moment. Finally, she said that she would mostly perform with her eyes closed, which I imagined helped her stay in the moment.”
