A musical pilgrimage following the Columbia River’s winding banks is the creative framework for this suite for sextet and spoken word.

Forged in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and quenched in the surf of Lake Superior, the music of TUNNEL SIX evokes majestic vistas swept by crisp mountain air. This border-crossing ensemble features musicians from across North America, blending distinct threads into uniquely impressionistic soundscapes. With singable melodies that dare to be epic and an unabashedly emotional approach to musical storytelling, Tunnel Six tastefully blends elements of jazz, world, and folk to transport audiences from the peaks of the Rockies to the shores of the Maritimes.

Lineup: Chad McCullough, trumpet; Jack Radsliff, guitar; Andrew Oliver, piano; Tyson Stubelek, drums; Lara Messersmith-Glavin, narration; other performers TBA.
