Mahogany Frog is an instrumental electronic rock band from Winnipeg. The group is comprised of four multi-instrumentalists: Graham Epp (guitar/keyboards/trumpet), Jesse Warkentin (guitar/keyboards), Scott Ellenberger (bass/keyboards/trumpet) and Andy Rudolph (drums/electronics). The music draws influence from '60s psychedelia, electronica, '70s progressive/kraut-rock, jazz, 50's "ultra" lounge and ambient/experimentalism. Using an extensive collection of analog and digital keyboards, cacophonous, feedback-ridden guitars, fuzz-bass and walls of electronics, the group creates dynamic, multi-layered songs that explore tone, mood and composition. Although Mahogany Frog's unorthodox sounds and complex arrangements can challenge the ear, their haunting progressions and playful melodies are immediately approachable. Onstage the band performs furiously and at massive volumes, often connecting multiple songs together with interludes consisting of ambient noise. Over the past twenty years Mahogany Frog has released seven records, delivered high-profile performances at Pop Montreal, Winnipeg Jazz Festival, Sled Island, WSO New Music Festival, JUNOfest, Prog Day (Chapel Hill, NC), Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg, GER) and SESC (Sao Paulo, BZ), and shared the stage with notable artists such as Flaming Lips, Caribou, Deerhoof, BADBADNOTGOOD, Venetian Snares, The Besnard Lakes and Eric's Trip. Their latest release SENNA won Instrumental Album of the Year at the 2013 Western Canadian Music Awards, and was nominated in the same category at the 2014 JUNO Awards. Their upcoming LP Mahogany Frog in the Electric Universe will be released in March 2021 on MoonJune Records.

Trading in a white picket fence for living out of a van, synthpop artist Brady Allard is the multi-instrumentalist behind Winnipeg’s Warming. His music began to take form of an obsession when he left his job, his house and his partner of a decade. While living out of a van, he wrote the 12 song LP - a lush, driving mix of 80’s inspired pop, twisted synth noises, lonely arrangements and memories of his former life.

Recorded over three days at Collector Studios in Winnipeg, Canada. Borrowing an army of old synthesizers from friends; Allard transformed a collection of acoustic songs, and field recordings into a debut synth-pop masterstroke.

I don't make a lot of music anymore, but if I did I'd post it here.
