Groove-oriented modern jazz from some of Vancouver Island's best musicians, AND a release party for Josh's debut single "Gratitude"!Rooted in the jazz tradition but drawing influences from all over the map, Josh Warren is an award-winning Canadian bassist, composer, and arranger originally hailing from Victoria, BC. Since moving to Toronto to study with Canada's finest, he's shared the stage and recorded with a plethora of Grammy-nominated and JUNO award-winning musicians (including Ingrid Jensen, Jeremy Ledbetter, Rich Brown, Allison Au, and Joaquin Nunez ) and performed all across the country, playing at iconic venues and major festivals from coast to coast.His upcoming debut album “ The Path ” (engineered and mixed by JUNO award-winner Patric McGroarty ) features an award-winning cast of young lions on the Canadian jazz scene, and blends the jazz tradition with shades of Pat Metheny, Stevie Wonder and Snarky Puppy. This show will be a release party for the first single off the album - "Gratitude" will be out everywhere on June 12th!Joining forces with island heavyweight Andrew Janusson for one night only, Josh is thrilled to present a night of his and Andrew's original music alongside saxophonist Aaron Djilali (currently on a full-ride scholarship to Boston's Berklee College of Music), pianist Thomas Andersen (a rising star on the Montreal jazz scene, stuyding at McGill University), and drummer Alex Campbell (one of Vancouver Island's most in-demand session musicians).
