FRASE

As a multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, engineer, and DJ, Frase lives and breathes music. With a buttery voice, heartfelt songwriting, and magnetic stage presence he has built a fan base worldwide for the past decade one show at a time. Just as much at home behind an acoustic guitar and a mic, as he is at the helm of a raving dance floor. With a high output and numerous collaborations ( SkiiTour, Moontricks, Dub Fx, Moglii, Father Funk, Stickybuds Etc) , his catalog highlights the nimble ability to have a soul, a mind, and a really good time all at the same junction. With a unique airy vocal delivery that marries beautifully to his soul-infused productions Frase has gained listeners from all walks of life. His sound is Eclectic but built on a foundation of Jamiroquai and Daft Punk as early influences, and modern nods to Mac Miller, Anderson.Paak and Disclosure. During his high energy Live performance FRASE sings his heart out, plays Bass guitar, all the while DJ'ing and remixing his productions. He’s been lighting up crowds at world-class music festivals such as Ellenic (Italy), Mode + Design Montreal, Ottawa Bluesfest, Bass Coast, Woodstove, Kaslo Jazz, and Shambhala (5 times). And has supported such Artists as Marshmello, Fat Boy Slim, Saint Jhn, Bedouin Soundclash, Dub Fx, The Funk Hunters, and Moontricks.

Founded by Ed Durocher, Apollo Suns is a 7-piece instrumental collective from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The band fuses the influence of jazz, rock and psychedelic music, to create their own unique sounds with the dancefloor in mind. They have self-released three EPs: ‘Each Day a Different Sun’ (2017), ‘Dawn Offerings’ (2019), ‘A Relationship of Force’ (Color Red, 2021), and were awarded “Instrumental Artist of the Year” at Western Canadian Music Awards in both 2018/2020.
In 2022, Apollo Suns returned to the studio with Juno award-winning producer Ben Kaplan (Five Alarm Funk, Mother Mother, The Rare Americans) to record their latest album, ‘Departures’. The band is signed to the Canadian label Do Right Music, home to The Souljazz Orchestra, Soul Motivators, and Luvmenauts. 'Departures' was released in September 2023 and supported by a robust North American tour that included sold-out shows in several cities. The band returned to Winnipeg, MB to a two night stand at The Good Will Social Club to celebrate the release in their hometown.
Best known for their high-octane live shows, Apollo Suns have captivated audiences at Winnipeg Jazz Festival, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Kispiox Valley Music Festival, Vermont Jazz Fest, and Calgary Stampede. Some of their most notable shows include support slots for The Comet is Coming, Makaya McCraven, Anomalie, The Brooks, and Five Alarm Funk. The core group includes Ed Durocher (Guitar), Tim Iskierski (Drums), Aarin Lofstrand (Bass), Jordie Oulette (Trumpet), Benjamin James Hill (Trombone), Alex Maher (Alto Sax and pedals) and Anatol Rennie (Keyboards/Synths).
