  • To View Our Program Guide
    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S NOTE Greetings everyone, and welcome to Kaslo Bay Park! We are gathering in one of the most beautiful places on Earth and I want to thank the Ktunaxa Nation, as well as residents of Kaslo, for allowing us to use this land and for supporting this important yearly celebration in such a magnificent part of the planet. Also a very special thank you to each of you for joining us in making the Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival a unique experience that thrives when passionate people combine community with the arts. A lot of people have worked incredibly hard on this year’s celebration, and we can’t wait to share this weekend with you! When we were determining the performers for this year’s festival, it felt like we were taking a big step into new territory. Every year we take a chance with our programming and hope that people will see the value in experiencing these performers in such a unique setting. We put an emphasis on selecting musicians that would take everyone on a musical journey through all three days of the festival and I feel this year’s line-up will do just that. This festival is intended to be a full weekend experience, and as I write this today - we have sold more weekend passes than ever before. Thank you everyone for being part of this journey with us! I am hoping that this weekend will leave you feeling energized and inspired. In the words of past performer Mickey Hart “The feeling we have here — remember it, take it home and do some good with it” Watching people absorb the power of music is the greatest reward of this job for me.

  • Flugzeuge in Der Scheune
    Flugzeuge in der Scheune Musik | Khruangbin Khruangbin sind eine psychedelische Funk-Band, auf deren Flügeln man auch ganz ohne Hilfe abheben kann. MARC HOINKIS hat sie sich angehört Einflüsse aus aller Welt Khruangbin ist ein Trio aus Houston in Texas, mit Mark Speer an der Gitarre, Laura Lee am Bass und Donald »DJ« Johnson an den Drums. Die Band bedient sich an vielen Einflüssen aus aller Welt, zu Beginn vor allem an thailändischem Funk der 60er und 70er Jahre. So wählten sie auch ihren Namen: Khruangbin ist das thailändische Wort für Flugzeug. Nach ihrem ersten Album, ›The Universe Smiles Upon You‹, interessierten sie sich auch für Funk, Soul und Pop aus Spanien und dem Mittleren Osten. Sie hörten Musik aus der Türkei, Israel, Ägypten und dem Nordwesten Afrikas. Besonders aber persische Musik, vor allem die Sängerin Googoosh, geben sie als große Inspiration an. Basteln Khruangbin haben eine interessante Art, ihre Songs zu konstruieren: Mark Speer schickt Laura Lee ein paar Hip-Hop Beats. Sie wählt sich einige aus und spielt ihre gechillten Basslines darüber. Dann schickt sie es dem Gitarristen zurück und er zaubert seine psychedelischen Riffs dazu. Diese drei Spuren schickt er dann DJ und er rundet alles mit seinen minimalistischen Hip Hop Beats ab. Wenn die Band bei einem Song das Gefühl hat, es fehle etwas, werden noch Background Spuren hinzugefügt. Diese bestehen in der Regel aus »Uuuuhs« und »Aaaahs«, manchmal aber auch aus Wörtern oder kurzen Sätzen. Generell sind die Songs aber eher instrumental und sehr sparsam gestaltet. Wenn alle damit zufrieden sind, treffen sich die Drei in einer alten Scheune und nehmen dort ein Album auf.

  • Khruangbin Announce New Album, ​Mordechai out June 26Th On
    For Immediate Release Khruangbin Announce New Album, Mordechai ​ Out June 26th On Dead Oceans, In Association With Night Time Stories Present Video For Lead Single, “Time (You and I)” (Photo Credit: Tamsin Isaacs) “Time changes everything.” — Khruangbin ​ Khruangbin, the Houston-based group comprised of bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, guitarist Mark Speer, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson, are pleased to announce their new album, Mordechai, out June ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 26th on Dead Oceans, in association with Night Time Stories. Mordechai comes two years after the ​ ​ ​ release of their beloved and acclaimed breakthrough, 2018’s Con Todo El Mundo, and was preceded ​ ​ earlier this year by Texas Sun, the group’s collaborative EP with Leon Bridges. Today, they present ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the vibrant, Felix Heyes & Josh R.R. King-directed video for Mordechai’s lead single, “Time (You and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ I)”. ​ Khruangbin has always been multilingual, weaving far-flung musical languages like East Asian surf-rock, Persian funk, and Jamaican dub into mellifluous harmony. As a first for the mostly instrumental band, Mordechai features vocals prominently on nearly every song. It’s a shift that ​ ​ rewards the risk, reorienting Khruangbin’s transportive sound toward a new sense of emotional directness, without losing the spirit of nomadic wandering that’s always defined it. And it all started with them coming home. By the summer of 2019, Khruangbin had been on tour for nearly three-and-a-half years, playing to ever-expanding audiences across North and South America, Europe, and southeast Asia in support of both Con Todo El Mundo and their 2015 debut, The Universe Smiles Upon You.

  • Top Albums of 2020 by Hayden Goodridge
    Top Albums of 2020 By Hayden Goodridge Looking over the stacks of records released throughout this (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime year, it’s surprising to be reminded of the drastic lifestyle changes none of us could seem to avoid. I’ve been compiling year-end album lists for quite a few years, but this year in review carries greater emotional attachment than I’ve experienced years prior. For each album I recall hearing, I’m also given a snapshot of the level of fear, grief, numbness, etc. I felt in reaction to the state of the outside world on first listen. Music—and any form of art for that matter—has been a necessary coping mechanism in this period of tremendous uncertainty. To the artists that made it into this personal list of favorites, I extend gratitude for the comfort, distraction, and jams they provided us at the shaky start of a new decade. Honorable Mentions Ummon – Slift ​ A muscular alien man stands on the barren surface of an unknown planet in space holding a gigantic sword behind him—ready to attack. The cover art of Ummon perfectly captures what Slift is all about. ​ ​ This cosmic psych rock trio buries the listener in huge swells of reverberating riffs which drive their sci-fi level of imagination forward into the final frontier. Favorite Song: “It’s Coming…” Magic Oneohtrix Point Never – Oneohtrix Point Never ​ Tuning into a Oneohtrix Point Never record feels like falling asleep in front of the late-night glow of your television. Familiar musical themes quickly float in and out of consciousness like a meandering dream.
