Wielding an eclectic brand of folk/roots/jam rock, the Matt Remenda Ensemble blends “tasty” leads with melancholic and haunting vocal harmonies to create a maverick sound that isn’t quite folk, isn’t quite jazz, and isn’t quite punk.
Performing upwards of 150 sets per year, the Saskatoon-based group has a vibe that maintains the “looseness” associated with being a jam band and all the “tightness” that arises, inevitably, from being one of Saskatchewan’s most active (and understated) groups. Furthermore, with all individual members having extensive experience acting as session musicians, the band has acquired a reputation for adaptability to the requirements of every gig (from playing pop covers for four hours at the grand opening of a grocery store to playing unhinged jazz-punk at festival main stages, with the same ardor).
This show is part of our pre-festival programming at the Brighton Wetlands Amphitheatre in Saskatoon and Kiswehap Park in Regina. Thanks to the Dream Community Foundation, the Community of Brighton, and Eastbrook on the Greens for making our Pop-Ups in the Park shows possible. Saskatchewan Talent is presented by SaskMusic.
