About the bands

ANDDRE & THE REFLECTIONS are a six-piece indie-folk/rock collective hailing from Southwestern Ontario. Formed by members from Brazil, Panama, Turkey, and Canada, Anddre & The Reflections deliver a diverse repertoire rich in synths, saxophone, and six-part harmonies, with a dynamic sound perched comfortably between the likes of Fleet Foxes and Sonic Youth. 

They released their debut self-titled EP in October 2023, praised as a “kaleidoscope of richly rendered sounds and styles” (Tinnitist), and supported in-part by the London Arts Council’s Community Arts Investment program. Anddre & The Reflections have also previously showcased at Indie Week’s VenueXVenue (2023), Folk Music Ontario (2023), and the Live from the Rock Folk Festival (2023).

GOKKEN COLLECTIVE are a four-piece smooth jazz fusion band based in Toronto, ON. The band was formed in 2023 from a collection of mellow-jazzy Latino trippers who met in a college music program and who all just couldn't get enough of Vulfpeck, Kool & The Gang, Jamiroquai, The RH Factor, Jazzbois, Chet Baker and so many others. 

They fuse solid grooves and bloomy harmonies with pinches of psychedelic melodies that will make you want to trip and groove. Between the busy life of job, studying and living, with passion for music and having fun while playing it, the band is working on a new show mixing various experiences and styles from jazz, R&B and soul to funk, reggae, South America music, and whatever appears to enrich the setlist.
