About Brishen​​

Brishen's sophisticated yet organic sound reflects the essence of its birthplace - Canada's West Coast.

Brishen recreates the magic of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club de France for an unforgettable musical experience. Be prepared to be wowed with sizzling hot, world-class Gypsy Jazz music performed with incredible virtuosity and soul.

Brishen is fronted by seventeen year old guitarrist Quinn Bachand, one of Canada's most exceptional young musicians and violinist Richard Moody, a veteran of the Canadian folk music scene. Although Quinn and Richard are very active with their own separate music projects, both share a passion for Gypsy Jazz and have teamed up to form this exceptional ensemble that also features the talented Reuben Wier on rhythm guitar and vocals.

The stellar Brishen line up also includes some of the best Gypsy Jazz players on the West Coast joining in on upright bass, accordion and a variety of other instruments.
