SHEBAD

Called “one of the coolest neo-soul jazz bands to come out of Canada” by CBC Music’s Vibin’, SHEBAD’s jazz-influenced melodies, danceable basslines, and transcendent, layered vocals synthesize influences like Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, and Erykah Badu. Steered in sonic indie-soul exploration by vocalist/guitarist Claire Voy and Ciccio Spagnolo on bass/keyboards/flute, Guelph’s SHEBAD makes compelling, ever-curious music with lyrics from the heart.
With Emil White (saxophone/keyboards/vocals/percussion), Bella Tian (keyboards/vocals), and Emmitt Leacock (drums), “SHEBAD has a certain kind of effortless synergy. They pour themselves into a jam-y, porous take on jazz-inflected soul music as a cathartic exercise” (Exclaim!).
