SUMMARY:NEW YEARS EVE w/ APOLLO SUNS & STUBBS AND THE
DESCRIPTION:Apollo Suns\nFounded by Ed Durocher\, Apollo Suns is a 9-piece instrumental collective from Winnipeg\, Manitoba. The band fuses the influence of jazz\, rock and psychedelic music\, to create their own unique sounds with the dancefloor in mind. They have self-released three EPs: ‘Each Day a Different Sun’ (2017)\, ‘Dawn Offerings’ (2019)\, ‘A Relationship of Force’ (Color Red\, 2021)\, and were awarded “Instrumental Artist of the Year” at Western Canadian Music Awards in both 2018/2020. \nStubbs and The \nStubbs and The are ever-enigmatic. The evolving nature of their name reflects the organic spontaneity of their sound. Rooted in Rossland\, BC\, this 5-piece first bloomed playing crowd-pleasing covers before transforming into their independent\, theatrical original music. \nFrom head banging to their Italian metal song Cannibali\, or ballroom dancing to The Waltz from their 10 part Odyssey of Barbara T.\, the crowds can’t help but join their wacky\, whimsical\, wingdings. \nWith lyrics in 7 different languages and a tracklist that defies labelling under traditional genres\, Stubbs and The Experience speaks for itself.
