Fresh off a blistering performance at this year’s TD International JazzFest, Josh Warren’s Groove Circus is an eclectic and rambunctious project drawing influences from funk, hip-hop, modern jazz and more. You can hear this group laying down high octane grooves and electrifying audiences all across Canada, from East to West!

Back for the summer from Toronto, Josh Warren is an award-winning bassist and composer from Victoria, drawing from
influences such as Stevie Wonder, Snarky Puppy, Herbie Hancock, and The Brecker Brothers. On top of debuting new compositions, Josh is thrilled to be working with a loaded band comprised entirely of Vancouver Island born & raised musicians, most of whom currently study and live across North America. This cross-continental band spans all the way from Montréal to Texas - don’t miss your chance to see it in action.
