Side-Eye & Grace is an Ottawa-based chamber-jazz outfit. Their sound is a melting-pot of influences ranging from Maurice Ravel and late Romanticism through to modal jazz, east-coast fiddle music, and the avante-garde. Their 2025 Jazzfest lineup includes Kyle Jordan on guitar, Chris Pond on bass, and Erik Johnson-Scherger on the violin. Guitarist Garrett Warner, the founding member with whom the band recorded and released their albums Liminal Spaces (2020) and Illuminate (2022), will rejoin the group in the fall.
