Tunnel Six
The Sunshine Coast Jazz and Entertainment Society is excited to present the return of Tunnel Six on Saturday, April 4 at 8 p.m. at the Arts Centre in Sechelt.
Tunnel Six is an international collaboration of musical storytellers who are embarking on their sixth tour of the U.S. and Canada. Their new program of original compositions will showcase the band’s collective vision, as this year’s theme of “journeys: spaces: stories” continues the group’s evolution.
Formed in 2009 at the Banff Centre’s Inter-national Jazz Workshop in Alberta, the ensemble has grown over the course of six cross-continental tours and two critically acclaimed albums into a mature ensemble blending six distinct threads into uniquely impressionistic soundscapes.
Tickets are $20 available from Strait Music, MELOmania, Gaia’s Fair Trade, at the door or at www.coastjazz.com.
