Plague Doctors Cure All

Certainly one of the most positive things to come out of those peculiar pandemic years, The "Plague Doctors Cure All was formed in 2022 by Welsh-based saxophonist and local music community champion Lyndon Owen. Their music eschews classification, taking from rock, metal, funk, gothic and jazz in a fully improvised set that will drag you in from the start and kick the hell out of any musical preconceptions you may have, with relentless energy, sounds and theatrical visuals rarely presented to a jazz audience.

The Outernet

Active since: 2023

In the realm of progressive jazz rock, The Outernet is a fresh force redefining musical boundaries. Led by visionary keyboardist and composer Phil Turcio, the band features Pete Drummond (drums), Pete Mollica (bass), and rising guitarist Emilio Kormanic. Each member brings a unique virtuosity, creating a rich, genre-defying sound. Phil’s spontaneous, almost mystical compositional process, powered by modern technology, shapes much of the band’s creative drive. Emilio’s partnership with Phil, forged pre-COVID, adds a layer of musical telepathy, while Mollica's decades-long collaboration with Phil grounds the group with deep chemistry

Courtney Cutchins

A singer with an uncommon command of her luminous voice and an organic, soulful and dramatic sense of phrasing a lyric, Seattle native Courtney Cutchins is also a vivid storyteller and prolific songwriter. All of those qualities come to bear on her genre-bending debut album, Grunge to Grace. Along with six stirring originals, the jazz-educated singer (she earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Vocal Performance from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and a Master of Music degree in Jazz Vocal Performance from prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York City) radically re-imagines three ‘90s anthems from her Seattle youth by grunge rock luminaires Soundgarden and Nirvana. Interpreted through her deeply-rooted jazz filter, these songs take on a new life while still conveying the feelings of anxiety, anguish and social alienation that underscored the original versions.

PC ENERGETIC

PC ENERGETIC is the international trio of award-winning guitarist Philip Czarnecki. It stands for a fat, modern and colourful sound. Modern jazz meets the sound-aesthetics and raw energy of rock and funk. This results in rocky and funky guitar-riffs, energetic improvisations and compositions, which are rich in rhythmic and harmonic complexity on the one hand and narrative and melodic on the other. Furthermore responsible for the powerful, yet multi-layered and versatile sound is bassist Jonathan Ihlenfeld Cu?ado and drummer Marc Ayza. On their debut-album "Illusion" the band features renowned saxophonist Jasper Blom and the singer Rakel Salazar
