"A trumpet that flows between the melancholic and the playful."
Josiah Blackmore, Cultural Critic

Mike Field's horn is smooth, warm and melodic - an emerging new sound in big city jazz that harks back to some of the old-school greats. Having played for over 20 years alone and with ensembles, Mike can now be heard performing with his duo or trio at their regular show at Gate 403, as well as many other jazz clubs around Toronto.

Simon and the Strumbella's sound is highly influenced by the late great Toronto band Royal City, country rocker Ryan Adams, Vetiver and that warm fuzzy feeling we as listeners get when that thunderous major drops to a minor. Simon and the Strumbella's first single "Underneath a Mountain" is a relaxing, melodic catchy tune that's good for the whole family.
