Tetyana Haraschuk Trio

Saturday, June 15, 7:30pm
Little Brown Jug Patio
$5 cover for the evening

A trio characterized by their dynamic fluidity, “freaky alien” textures, rule-breaking grooves and disregard for genre boundaries. Their sound makes audiences “take another look at music as a whole” and is described as “a pivotal addition to modern jazz.” Leader Tetyana Haraschuk’s compositions are labeled “refreshing”, “evocative”, “intelligent”, with “so much feeling” by audience members, and by award-winning soundtrack composer Alfons Conde, as “laidback with touches of weirdness… sounds totally deliberate. All in all, it sounds like Tetyana.”

This Canadian trio features guitarist Kyle Cobb, bassist Devon Gillingham and composer/drummer Tetyana Haraschuk. Different iterations of the trio have performed in three different countries, including at the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival in Canada, the world-renowned Jimmy Glass Jazz Bar in Valencia, Spain, as well as in Brazil. Their debut album, which includes a vibraphonist and two vocalists, was recommended for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize, a Canadian artistic merit award.

Leader Tetyana Haraschuk is a Ukrainian/Canadian drummer and composer. She holds a Bachelor in Jazz Performance from the University of Manitoba and a Master of Contemporary Performance and Production from the Berklee College of Music. Tetyana has played with JUNO award-winning artists in Canada, and her music has taken her to different places around the world. An accomplished composer and arranger, Tetyana has independently released an album, EP, as well as two singles of her original music. She is the artistic director of Until The Sun Comes, a musical documentation of Ukrainian war stories, in collaboration with documentary film company Ice River Films.
