Very, very good avant fusion” (Guitar Player magazine) captures the essence of The Elliot Freedman Group’s music: harmonically elegant, rhythmically muscular, and an uncompromisingly adventurous update on the electric jazz of the 1970s. Elliot, whose baritone guitars accentuate his innovative chordal work, is joined by bassist Ashin Richardson and drummer Paul Mason. Elliot will augment the group’s presentation of his own compositions with solo guitar performances of compositions by Keith Jarrett, Kenny Wheeler, Bill Evans, and others.

Gnarfunkel is a Vancouver-based band making waves with their electrifying live shows and unique melangé of musical styles. Fronted by two animalistic lead singers and backed by a tight, funky rhythm section, they take audiences on an energetic journey through time and space. Their sound incorporates elements of rock, hip hop, Latin, psychedelia, and Eastern music in a sound they dub “Gnar Funk” with each band member playing a large range of eclectic instruments.

Gnarfunkel expanded their artistic soundscape with two new singles in summer 2021. “Show Me” is an indie soul tune featuring horns and a groovy beat and “Full Flower Moon” is a world folk tune featuring acoustic guitar, sitar and other Indian instruments. Gnarfunkel recorded their debut album “Gnarnia” under the guidance of Juno-nominated producer Tom Dobrzanski. A number of singles from this album will be released in early 2022, including fan favourite “A Million Monkeys”. “Gnarnia” will be released in May 2022 in a limited edition vinyl pressing and will be supported by a Canadian tour.
