Josh Zubot’s string explorations have found a new home with his string quintet of genre defying West Coast players.
Josh’s compositions take on emotion, energy, calmness, unpredictability and virtuosic technique. The music combines traditional and graphic notation while slicing group improvisation moving from the tiniest of sound to the extreme. After hearing his acoustic string music, the listener’s sonic universe will be stretched to the limits.
In the late ’70s guitarist Lenny Breau and pedal steel guitarist Buddy Emmons teamed up and recorded an album entitled Minors Aloud. Recorded in Nashville, the album became a hard-to-find classic and a must-listen for guitarists of any kind. Tony Wilson (guitar) and Scott Smith (pedal steel), along with Jeremy Holmes (bass) and Liam Macdonald (drums), will play the entire album as well as other tunes Lenny and Buddy collaborated on.
Scott Smith is an award winning pedal steel player and guitarist who has toured and recorded with Barney Bentall, Rich Hope and Terminal Station among many others. Host of the popular "Adventures in Pedal Steel" series at the Heatley, he released the instrumental album "Lifeboat: Explorations in Pedal Steel" in 2020
Guitarist and composer Tony Wilson has been a fixture on the West Coast jazz and free improv scene for decades. In addition to releasing numerous albums under his own name such as “Looking Back” and “A Day’s Life”, he has also played and recorded with the Peggy Lee Band, Waxwing and Pugs and Crows.
VIM aims to support the enjoyment and appreciation of music of diverse cultures and genres including world, classical, jazz, folk, early, popular and experimental by local and visiting musicians and composers. VIM showcases the excellent music and musicians in Vancouver. When touring is possible, VIM will host artists from across Canada and around the world to create a place where musicians and artists from different genres and cultures will meet one another, exchange ideas and experiences and collaborate. These connections will allow VIM to reach wider audiences and to create opportunities for residents and visitors alike to discover and explore all music.
