Apollo Suns

Prepare yourself for an electrifying night of live music with Apollo Suns on Saturday, November 9th, at Red Bird Brewing. This 19+ event will feature the high-energy, genre-bending sounds of this 7-piece instrumental collective from Winnipeg, Manitoba. With tickets priced at $20, this is a performance you don’t want to miss.
 
Apollo Suns are best known for their captivating blend of jazz, rock, and psychedelic music, designed to keep the dance floor buzzing. Having self-released three EPs and garnered acclaim as Western Canada’s Instrumental Artist of the Year in 2018 and 2020, the band continues to push boundaries with their unique sound. Their newest album, Departures, recorded with Juno award-winning producer Ben Kaplan, hit the scene in September 2023 and has already led to a sold-out North American tour.
 
The band’s core lineup—Ed Durocher (Guitar), Tim Iskierski (Drums), Aarin Lofstrand (Bass), Jordie Oulette (Trumpet), Benjamin James Hill (Trombone), Alex Maher (Alto Sax and pedals), and Anatol Rennie (Keyboards/Synths)—brings unmatched energy to the stage. Apollo Suns have lit up festivals from the Winnipeg Jazz Fest to Calgary Stampede, and their live shows are nothing short of exhilarating.
