The Canadian Trad Collective is a new six-piece group bringing together some of Canada’s leading proponents of early jazz, performing together live across the Internet between cities. The collective will be appearing regularly on syncspace on the last Sunday of each month and will occasionally be joined by guests. The regular members are:

• Woodwind virtuoso David Renaud (playing clarinet with this group) performing from Gatineau, Quebec
• Multi-instrumentalist Drew Jurecka (playing violin with this group) performing from Toronto, Ontario
• Pianist and trombonist Mark Ferguson (playing trombone with this group) performing from Ottawa, Ontario
• Guitarist Nathan Hiltz performing from Toronto, Ontario
• Low-end specialist Keith Hartshorn-Walton (playing tuba with this group) performing from Gatineau, Quebec
• Drummer Lucas Denison performing from Ottawa, Ontario

For this month, we’ll have David Renaud, Mark Ferguson, Keith Hartshorn-Walton, Lucas Denison, and special guests violin virtuoso Lenny Solomon, performing from Toronto, and the fabulous guitarist Justin Duhaime, performing from Ottawa.

Join us for a spirited, fun-filled set of trad jazz to go with Sunday brunch, afternoon tea, or evening cocktails, wherever you may be.
