The Funk-Tree Junction is a collective of Victoria musicians featuring Zonnis (www.zonnismusic.com), The Party on High Street (https://www.facebook.com/thepartyonhighstreet/), Hilary Beckett, Jonnie Bridgman (The New Groovement), and Dan-jo Ielsef (Compassion Gorilla). It's combination of toe-tapping, arm-swinging hoe-down twang and high-energy funk rock that's sure to leave you wanting more.

When Red Haven’s Brendan Steele and Jennifer Charters visited New Orleans in February 2014, they were struck by the spontaneity and simplicity expressed by the roving swing bands of Frenchman Street, stopping traffic every night of the week. They returned home with a notebook full of songs, and a concept for a band that would encompass the vitality of a New Orleans street party with the west-coast Canadian folk and indie music they were raised on. Long-time collaborator, songwriter Nathan Turner, picked up an upright bass, and the three began to hone their sound. One year later, Red Haven's raucous, spirited brand of folk music received funding from FACTOR, and was featured on stages at folk music festivals such as Arts Wells, Quadrapalooza, Tiny Lights Festival, and Hootstock. Jesse Thom (Dirty Grace) accompanied the band on drums for a tour, and has since joined in the songwriting process. "While also a folk band, Red Haven’s sound is decidedly different,” says Carolyn Nikodym at the Fernie Fix, “it’s more whiskey soaked and vaudevillian – a perfect Monday evening pick-me-up. The trio, inspired by a trip to New Orleans, blends gypsy jazz and indie pop melodies.” - Fri, 11 Dec 2015 8:06am Edited: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 8:07am
