SØURDØPE is a Canadian instrumental collective forged through over 15 years of shared stages and musical collaborations. Emerging from the long-running cover band Vibetown, the group grew out of countless busking sessions and live performances across western Canada into a bold original project rooted in jazz, funk, and modern instrumental soul.Driven by horn-led harmonies and a deep-pocket rhythm section, SØURDØPE creates immersive soundscapes that glide between cinematic textures and dance-floor momentum. Their sound draws inspiration from artists like Yussef Dayes, Lettuce, Khruangbin, and The Budos Band—music made for heads, hips, and everything in between.
Core members Kaylar Chan (saxophone), Ryley Kirkpatrick (guitar), and Jay Schreiber (drums) have been making music together since their teenage years, first connecting through their formal music studies. They are joined by longtime collaborators Jocelyn Waugh (trumpet) and Brett Selinger (bass), whose energy and musical voices help shape the distinctive auditory experience that is SØURDØPE.
