some background on eighthstreetorchestra.com and why you might want to be in on it:

Our first paying gig was in Sept of 2010 for the Chatsworth Fall Fair 😊

Kae Murphy, tp/cl - you may know Kae from BadBadNotGood, Maria Schneider, or numerous other touring bands.

Patrick Smith, ts/pno - Pat is well known in the Canadian jazz scene, his quintet frequently at #TheRex and other spots, often featured in the jazz press.

Nolan Murphy, tb/voc: Nolan you do know, if not from his SHOUT! the Band, then you've seen him in just about every brass festival. His list of collaborations is a who's-who of international musics.

Matt Caldwell, bass: Matt is also the upright bass you see everywhere, and regularly at the Cameron with his Dog House Orchestra.

Patricio Llovet, dr/perc: Patricio is our percussion master, blending our pan-american rhythms smooth as silk or ice-hot, take your pick.

Me, banjo/guitar: who often asks myself, well, how did I get here?

The Studio: #JazzInToronto legend, #KensingtonSound 100% analog!

For those with audio speakers, and for those who wonder if we ever actually play actual trad jazz from the actual trad jazz repertoire (but maybe with an edge?) perhaps you'll Like this one:
"When you play these tunes, don't just copy their notes and sounds, you need to copy their INTENTION."
