The Misery Mountain Boys

Sunday • 1:00 pm | Jazz Alley | (Alley) 93 St & 118 Ave (Southside of 118)

Sunday • 3:00 pm | Main Stage (119 Ave & 93 St in the Grassy Field)

The Misery Mountain Boys are a 4 piece band including guitar, upright bass, clarinet, saxophone, and drums (brushes), playing original music inspired by the 1930/40's era of swing and jump blues. You might hear the tunes of the Misery Mountain Boys drifting from behind a rotating bookcase of a 1930’s speakeasy. Harkening back to a simpler time, the MMB’s create a collaborative soundscape infused with tongue in cheek wit, playfulness, and nostalgia. The band’s performance delivers as both classic and fresh, offering a generous variety of sweaty jazz numbers, velvety love songs, and swingin' jump-blues.

Having performed at events like the Canmore Folk Music Festival and the Edmonton International Fringe Festival, David captivates audiences with his effervescent stage presence and introspective lyricism. His debut EP: Wait, was aired on Edmonton radio stations CKUA and CJSR, and his unique ‘one-man-band’ sound was recognized by CBC Music producer Del Cowie during the 2017 CBC Searchlight Competition. More recently he won the adult division of the 2018 K-Days Talent Search, and in 2019, completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music from MacEwan University. His razor-sharp songwriting and agility with a loop station has earned David comparisons to the likes of Sting and Ed Sheeran.
