City of Four brings its brand of groove-based jazz fusion to music venues across Boston and New England. The music collective features the original compositions and improvisations of its four members in an electrified instrumental combo format, merging modern jazz, funk, jazz-rock fusion, hip hop, and progressive rock. “When the jazz, funk andprogressive styles come together it can be a beautiful thing.” (Rob Duguay, Rock n’Heavy)

Recently returned from its “New Vistas” tour of five states this past April, made possible through a Jazz Road Tours grant from South Arts, the band is constantly expanding its repertoire and reimagining its existing catalog. City of Four is Mike Caudill on saxophone and EWI, Cat Tremblay on keys and synths, Eric Falter on bass, and Steve Wilkinson on drums.
