Pianist Eric St. Godard has made a name for himself in the Manitoba music scene as a band leader, solo artist, composer and educator. He has lead projects which have played at the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, Mardi Jazz, and at Yardbird Suite in Edmonton, Canada. His newly formed quartet, The Eric St. Godard E4, will not stop short of having the most reputable jazz musicians in the province to bring forth a powerful force to be reckoned with in the Manitoba and Canadian jazz scenes.
The Eric St. Godard E4 is a truly unique quartet to the Canadian music scene that treads the boundaries of the old and contemporary traditions of the jazz diaspora. Through the use of captivating modern harmonies, highly melodic material, and language of the post-bop era, The E4 aims to connect with audiences by telling original stories which define the notion that music is the study of life itself — stories that audiences can resonate with in an exceedingly fast-paced and pressure-filled world. .
Listeners are guaranteed to have an exhilarating experience with new stories to hold onto long after the performance passes. In May 2025, The E4 is slated to record their debut album at Studio Bell (National Music Centre) in Calgary.
