clean breaks monthly residency

Prepare to move.

Toronto-based clean|breaks fuses tight grooves, infectious funk, and rock-fueled energy into a vibrant instrumental sound. Guitarist Neil Hendry, drummer Tim Shia, and bassist Jordan Safer bring decades of stage experience from prestigious venues and festivals across Canada and beyond—with their recordings featured on radio airwaves around the world. Drawing on the locked-in legacy of The Meters, the urgency of The Fearless Flyers/Vulfpeck, and classic influences like Al Green, expect dance-inducing vibes all night long.

Tight grooves. Sharp breaks. Instrumental funk-rock.
