King Heron
Genre : Music - Jazz/latin
The Jazz Syndicate presents King Heron, a guitar trio sprung from Bristol?s thriving modern jazz scene, bringing together lyrical expression, hard-edged basslines and clanging rock to form their own distinct blend of progressive beats and fluttering soundscapes.
The group have shared stages with the likes of Oscar Jerome, Mdou Moctar and Lydian Collective, and performed at venues, clubs and arts centres across the UK. Their 2023 single ?Stasis (ft. Andrew Neil Hayes)? marked their first collaboration with a guest appearance from the Run Logan Run tenor player, in a raucous exploration that excitedly reflects a ?Bristol sound?. Following 2023?s two single releases, the trio released their second EP, ?Risky Business?, in September 2024.
King Heron are most at home on stage. Always groove-oriented with an emphasis on improvisation, their live performances are captivating with tunes taking their own path and never being played the same twice. At the heart of their live sound is a deep trust and connection between three friends exploring a new jazz impression together.
Support is from DJ Doug with a set of spiritual, funky and soulful jazz grooves.
