Keyboardist Mary Ancheta is a Canadian / Filipina artist who steps into the spotlight with her genre-bending organic, modern take on jazz and electro-funk. Inspired by the likes of Squarepusher, The Meters, John Scofield, and Prince, Ancheta knows what’s up when it comes to arresting melodies and irresistible grooves with Paul Clark on drums, Dominic Conway on sax, and Matt Reid on bass. Encompassing her experience in film scoring Ancheta seeks to tap into raw fuelled moments favouring grittiness over perfection. Last summer they opened for BADBADNOTGOOD and played the MainStage on Jazz Festivals from coast to coast. From Vancouver to Toronto, to the renowned Montreal Jazz Festival, and from Ottawa to Halifax. They have also played on bills alongside Herbie Hancock, Louis Cole Big Band, Ghost Note, George Benson, Domi & JD Beck, and more. In January 2025 the Mary Ancheta Quartet will be touring Australia and as well have been chosen to represent Canada in the 2025 World Expo in July 2025.
