about

Groundfood emerged from the vibrant musical melting pot of Montreal, Quebec, rooted in the ethos of experimental improvisation. Founded by a cadre of seasoned improv musicians from the renowned KalmUnity collective, Groundfood epitomized spontaneity and creativity. Originally conceived as an experimental instrumental ensemble, Groundfood mesmerized audiences with their live organic improvisations every Sunday night, first at the iconic Diese Onze and later at the revered Resonance Music Cafe.

The band comprised a stellar lineup of talent, including Montreal drummer and KalmUnity founder Jahsun, saxophonists Erik Hove and Adam Kinner, keyboardist Parker Shper, bassist Mark Alan Haynes, guitarist Jordan Peters, along with vocalist Malika Tirolien and rapper James "Blurum" Sobers.

Groundfood's discography includes several dynamic live EPs and a studio album, "Chew Before You Swallow," produced by the band and overseen by the talented Jordan Peters. This singular studio effort captures the essence of their eclectic sound, showcasing their innovative spirit and collaborative prowess.

While "Chew Before You Swallow" remains the group's sole studio recording, other unreleased tracks exist, perhaps lurking in the shadows of creative exploration. Whether these tracks will see the light of day remains uncertain, but their potential release adds an aura of anticipation to Groundfood's musical legacy.
