Zrada’s sound originates equal parts in the fog-shrouded valleys of the Carpathians and the sweaty mosh-pits of Anthrax shows; however their music is mysterious and primal in a unique way. A folk-punk tour-de-force, their subversion of Eastern-European musical traditions, enigmatic imagery and raucous live shows are pushing Zrada to craft some of the most forward-thinking and captivating world music in Canada today. Based in Winnipeg since 2005, Zrada has been experimenting with the soundscapes of their ancestral Ukraine for over a decade. Striking vocal harmonies, powerful trumpet and violin melodies combine with jazz infused rhythms to create a wild and joyous dance floor experience.

Jacob Brodovsky is a singer-songwriter patently from Winnipeg, Canada. Jacob transforms stories of mundane people and places into emotional, driving tunes with straightforward yet smart lyricism. He falls into the beloved line of uniquely Winnipeg folk-based, talk-singing, moody-Manitobans. His memorable melodies and emotive tunes are toe-tapping enough to be enjoyed at face value, though, it is difficult not to divulge in the quarter life crisis of a 26-year-old with a knack for making you feel the most subdued of feelings.
