Midnight Channel Album Release Party β€” vinyl of Alien Love Songs available ✨

Midnight Channel (Lethbridge, AB 🌟) β€” post-bop jazz, improvisation, world rhythm, jazz fusion 🎢
Celebrating their Western Canada Tour and the release of Alien Love Songs, Midnight Channel made a powerful debut with Gemini Sunrise, hitting #10 on the National Earshot! Jazz Charts πŸš€ Their sound blends the boundary-pushing spirit of 1960s cosmic free jazz with modern energy, infused with post-bop, Japanese fusion, and neo-soul grooves. Live, they’re an explosion of energy, soaring improvisations, and contagious joy, transforming the stage into a spellbinding experience.

FunkJoint (Saskatoon, SK 🎺) β€” acid-jazz, tight funk jams, improvisation grooves 🎹
Originally founded by Sauvelm McClean (keys) and Graham Templeman (drums), FunkJoint has grown into a dynamic collective with Adam Striesel (trumpet), Nathan β€œBarracuda” Jones (sax), and Steve Maier (guitar). Drawing on decades of musical experience across jazz, funk, and more, FunkJoint delivers groovy, engaging performances β€” including original music and soulful covers (Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, Bill Withers). Influences: Snarky Puppy, Lettuce, Budos Band, SoulJazz Orchestra, Steely Dan, Corduroy, Vulfpeck.

The Moon Runners (Saskatoon, SK 🌌) β€” progressive emo, complex rhythms, glitchy guitar, impassioned vocals ⚑
The Moon Runners deliver intricate, high-energy performances that are part chaos, part beauty. With their episodic album Wakeless 2095 and latest single sleep_in_the_swamp, they blend angsty storytelling with clever, tongue-in-cheek theatrics.
