Waldo's Gift at Strange Brew
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Endlessly inventive bastions of that Bristol nu-jazz sound headline the Brew for one of their biggest hometown shows ever. Weaving jittery electronics around rhythmically dazzling jazz breaks to fry the minds of the most ardent Ishmael Ensemble, Move 78 and Ill Considered fans. "

Trinity presents: Waldo’s Gift at Strange Brew, Bristol

Waldo’s gift is the result of three like-minded musicians that have been given the time and space to go towards true sonic representation of themselves. Their sound hurtles from the sophistication of Jazz, through to the most cutting edge experimental electronic music – all with the unhinged energy of the most powerful rock and metal. They are quickly establishing themselves as one of the most exciting new jazz acts in the UK today. Their debut studio EPs, recorded and released during the pandemic, gained wide support from tastemakers across BBC Radio 1 and 6Music, while their lockdown live sessions racked up big numbers online, both of which have earned them a fervent following internationally. After a string of one off shows, Waldo’s Gift return to their live roots and finally embark on their debut headline tour in early 2024, promising a wealth of new music alongside established tracks from their first 2 EPs. All designed to be experienced live.

+ support: Bethany Ley & Moral Fibre will be joining forces to bring together a mixture of songs, and improvised electronics for an exclusive one-off performance.
