ED VOKURKA 4TET
8.15
Violinist Ed Vokurka's music is a unique blend of European classicism and North American Swing. He possesses a lyricism rarely found in a jazz violinist. In his eclectic approach to jazz, Ed is uniquely providing a missing link between his original Classical training and the Jazz world, which he embraces so passionately! Ed performed with the legendary Joe Venuti in the 70's and has recently been featured at the prestigious Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto. He leads the Ed Vokurka Quintet "Violin Swing & Jazz Ensemble" steeped in the tradition of the Hot Club of 1930's Paris. Truly an engaging & exciting performer who puts his all into every note.
KYLE WINDJACK
11.00
Kyle Windjack's music is a punch to the gut and a warm embrace. Raw, real and unapologetic, it tumbles and tangles through the intricacies of the human experience, exploring the contrasting forces of light and dark, comfort and adversity, stillness and change. This modern-day troubadour roams the country in his 32ft travel trailer turned rustic mobile recording studio, seeking out the quiet spaces where he can connect with his muse.
His compositions are a tapestry of jazz, rock, folk, and pop, diverse and beautiful, never shying away from the controversial or unconventional. Windjack's performances are a wild ride, full of surprises and unexpected twists, yet there's a sense of calm, serenity, and purpose in every note he plays and word he sings.
