Josh Warren presents: The Path

Born & raised in Victoria BC, Josh Warren is a bassist, composer and arranger currently finishing his bachelor's degree in music at Humber College (Toronto, ON). At only 21 years old, Josh has been featured as both a bandleader and a sideman on many stages across Canada, including the TD International Jazzfest, Fernfest, the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival, and the TU Jazzfest (Toronto). Along the way, he's had the opportunity to share the stage and record with internationally recognized talents, including JUNO award-winners such as trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and saxophonist Allison Au, and NYC heavyweights such as vocalist Lucy Yeghiazaryan and saxophonist Grant Stewart. Lauded for his versatility as a freelance bassist, Josh plays and records in a variety of styles - spanning swinging straight-ahead jazz to high-energy pop, rock, and soul. While rooted in the jazz tradition, Josh’s influences span a diverse range of genres, which is heavily reflected in his original music. For one night only, join Josh for an evening of original compositions influenced by the people, places and experiences that have shaped him. Featuring Toronto-based drummer Matteo Romaniello and Vancouver-based saxophonist Ingrid Li in addition to a slew of local heavyweights, this cross-country septet is NOT to be missed.
