Quinn Bachand's Brishen Ensemble

Brishen, Romany for bringer of the storm, is what Quinn Bachand, one of Canadas most outstanding young musicians, and his band (Reuben Wier, Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews and Greg Feingold) serve up with their original western and euro-gypsy swing homage. With a tight grasp on the music that embraces the swing tradition, Quinn Bachands Brishen takes audiences on an inventive quest which, through its technical virtuosity, brings together a spellbinding range of musical history to reinvent the categories of swing jazz, pop and country, celebrating the music of the 30s, up to and including the 60s. Quinn Bachands Brishen creates a space where virtuosity meets vibe, leaving you with a sense of jubilance and nostalgia. The band has toured across Canada, the United States and Europe, performing at major folk, jazz and gypsy jazz festivals. Theyve been nominated for five Canadian Folk Music Awards, two Western Canadian Music Awards and most recently won an Independent Music Award in the Jazz category for their latest album, Blue Verdun.
