About this Event
Montreal duo GeminiCrab brings a rich blend of R&B, soul, hip hop, and jazz, led by Félix Award-winning keyboardist/producer Caulder Nash (Jonathan Roy) and 3-time Grammy-nominated vocalist/producer Malika Tirolien (Bokanté). Formed through experimentation with binaural recording technology, the group has built momentum with a captivating sound, and their 2024 album Gen Y Lens reflects both the musical influences and social realities of the millennial generation. They are joined by Rémi Jean LeBlanc on bass and Ronny Desinor on drums.
Ontario neosoul collective SHEBAD centers around visual artist/vocalist Claire Voy and multi-instrumentalist Ciccio Spagnolo. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, and Daft Punk, their music mixes indie soul, jazz-inflected melodies, danceable basslines, and soaring vocals. Their debut album, Music is the Answer (2024), received strong praise, including recognition from CBC’s Tom Power, Laila Biali, and Rohit Joseph. The band also features Emil White on keyboards, bass, and saxophones, Bella Tian on keyboards and vocals, and Emmitt Leacock on drums.
