Award-winning gypsy jazz/swing band – Quinn Bachand’s Brishen – is coming to the Big Yellow Merville Hall Sept. 16.
Brishen, Romany for ‘bringer of the storm’, is what Bachand and his band serve up with their original western and Euro-gypsy swing homage.
With a tight grasp on the music that embraces the swing tradition, Quinn Bachand’s 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 Bachand’s Brishen creates a space where virtuosity meets vibe, leaving you with a sense of jubilance and nostalgia. The band has toured across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, performing at major folk, jazz and gypsy jazz festivals.
Tickets are $20 at Long & McQuade in Courtenay. More information and online tickets available at www.beaconridgeproductions.com
