The Way Back Whens

Featuring Edmonton’s finest old school players, The Way Back Whens will take you… well, way way back! They are an old school jazz street party band with a megaphone, pumping out classic jams and brand new numbers. This April 5th show marks the release of their debut record: “Live at the Yardbird Suite,” recorded with Juno winner Paul Johnston at the controls. The Way Back Whens features a renewed collaboration between Dan Davis on clarinet and saxophone and Keith Rempel on sousaphone and bass. Dan and Keith are joined by Canada’s best trombonist Audrey Ochoa, Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle Champion Daniel Gervais, and Barbara Vargas on tap dance. Brett Hansen and Daniel Stadnicki bring their inimitable talents on banjo, drums and cymbals to round out the group.
