It\u2019s finally here! After months of planning and preparation, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of Bent River Records. While we already have three artists on our roster who have released albums with us, we have yet to formally celebrate our conception. On April 6, 2017, we are proud to present Kent Sangster\u2019s Obsessions Octet (Edmonton), Mallory Chipman (Edmonton), and Acid Bunny (Montreal) in a showcase of their innovative and original music on the John L. Haar stage. This concert will also act as a farewell to MacEwan University\u2019s beloved Centre for the Arts and Communications campus as we prepare to move downtown to our new home. Now to introduce you to our artists!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kent Sangster\u2019s Obsessions Octet is an award-winning ensemble that incorporates elements of jazz, classical, and tango music styles. They have toured extensively through Canada and Europe and their latest release, Steppin\u2019 Up<\/i>, was released on Bent River Records on November 1, 2016.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mallory Chipman fuses the improvisational nature of jazz with the honest lyricism of folk and grittiness of rock and roll. She has performed internationally; showcasing her original music to sold out crowds. Her latest release, Nocturnalize,<\/i> was released on Bent River Records on November 20, 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acid Bunny is a trio comprised of prodigious musicians, Jean-Nicolas Trottier (trombone, band leader), Remi-Jean LeBlanc (bass), and Richard Irwin (drums). Their music is a combination of rock, jazz, and electronic influences. This launch is also the official release of their upcoming album, High School Fantasy.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
