OQO means balance. This coastal Canadian trio sounds like a ménage-a-six between Yann Tiersen, Sigur Rós, Beirut, Gogol Bordello, Cinematic Orchestra and Phillip Glass. The band writes original, cinematic, operatic folklore for Accordion, Violin, Voice, Contrabass and the occasional Synthesizer.

Ian Griffiths on Accordion and synth, Keith Rodger on Upright Bass and Jacques Mindreau on Violin and Voice have been enchanting audiences across Canada with performances at Arts Wells Festival, Tiny Lights Festival, South Country Fair, Deep Roots Music Fest, Market Fest, Market Collective and dozens of others.

OQO is set to release their second album “OQO Pt. 2” June 1st 2016. The band will be touring the record across Canada from June through August 2016. Find tour dates at www.oqomusic.com.

OQO is made up of members from two prominent Canadian folk bands, The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra and Krasnogorsk. Originally a duo, OQO began as a collaboration between Accordionist, Songwriter Ian Griffiths and Violinist, Composer, Vocal Virtuoso Jacques Mindreau. The pair were joined in 2014 by Mount Royal University Jazz Performance graduate Keith Rodger on Upright Bass.

OQO toured the Kingdom of Cambodia in January and February of 2015 a trip that would take them on a 500km motorcycle adventure through the South East Asian country side and to the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat where the band performed and shot a music video. The group’s first Asian Tour the opened their eyes to extreme disparity and but also the resilience of the human spirit and the ability for art to empower. They performed at orphanages, schools in poor neighbourhoods and taught music to disadvantaged youth at Music Arts School in the nations capital Phnom Penh.

After many years of collaborations, the duo behind Distant Grand have solidified their style, resulting in the discovery of the sound that captures the essence of their self made genre, Sexy Sad.  

Recognizing the need for a more sensualistic sound in the slower, deeper realm, Distant Grand is bringing sultry back to the dancefloor.

Electro/Soul moniker Krooked Drivers (formerly a duo) has been captivating ears ever since the launch of the Krooked Drivers musical vision in 2011. Once accompanied by Maddy O'Neal the duo split February of 2016 putting the Krooked Drivers duo to rest and leaving D'Albora to take on KD as a solo project. The mind now behind Krooked Drivers is Donnie D'Albora who is based out of Denver, Colorado and born and raised in New York. Krooked Drivers stays keeping the sounds of the past alive sampling vinyl records from past eras of time collaging breaks and organic elements creating an entirely new feeling and direction. Blending heavy hitting bass lines with neck breaking drum patterns and endless sample chops rest assured Krooked Drivers will take you on an emotion driven musical roller coaster ride that will leave you begging for more.
