Ryan Driver was a member of Toronto based band The Silt and also The Reveries with Doug Tielli and Eric Chenaux. He has also collaborated with other luminaries such as Sandro Perri, Devon Sproule, Mike O'Neill, Jennifer Castle, Marker Starling (Mantler) and Snowblink. The goal of this group has always been to breathe a new kind of life into popular ballads from the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. We play only the slow songs, which we fill with odd improvisational meanderings, tenderness, and doorways into other worlds. The members of the group have much experience playing experimental jazz and improvised music in many contexts but together we make a point of bringing the focus back to the essence of song form and infusing it with exciting strangeness and fire.
