Backwater Township est un projet qui a commencé à Montréal en 2018 avec la vision de défier un genre musical teinté par l’élitisme intellectuel et le contrôle. Backwater Township n’est pas un groupe de musique, mais plutôt un collectif d’inadaptés et d’aberrants qui tentent de se tailler une place dans la scène musicale jazz.

Fondé par Corey Thomas (basse et compositeur) en 2018, le projet a commencé entant que moyen pour performer des compositions originales, ainsi que pour créer des arrangements musicaux d’anciens musiciens de jazz autochtones. Cela étant dans le but de préserver et de donner une meilleure représentation aux œuvres qui l’ont inspiré à travers son propre parcours musical.

Backwater Township a enregistré son premier EP en 2018 et a sorti son album de suivi, simplement intitulé Backwater Township II, en Novembre 2022. Le groupe a performé dans le cadre de plusieurs festivals, dont le Festival Présence autochtone (2019, 2020), le Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (2019) et Sunset on Sumerled (2019). Festival Jazz et Blues Saguenay (2023) La musique et la présence de Backwater Township ont permis la nomination du meneur de groupe Corey Thomas pour le prix Oliver Jones en 2019.

La musique de Backwater Township a été présentée dans les principales émissions de radio de CBC, telles que Minotan et l’émission Saturday Night Jazz, et a été incluse dans d’importantes listes de lecture organisées par Spotify, telles que Fresh Finds Jazz et The Jazz Collection.

En plus de travailler sur leur nouvel album, ils continuent de jouer de la musique devant des foules vibrantes et animées tout en affinant leurs compétences pour offrir non seulement de la bonne musique, mais aussi une expérience mémorable.

Backwater Township is a project that began in Montreal in 2018 with the vision of challenging a musical genre tinged with intellectual elitism and control. Backwater Township is not a band, but rather a collective of misfits and outliers trying to carve out a place for themselves in the jazz music scene.

Founded by Corey Thomas (bass and composer) in 2018, the project began as a means to perform original compositions, as well as to create musical arrangements of former native jazz musicians. This was with the aim of preserving and giving better representation to the works that inspired him through his own musical journey.

Backwater Township recorded their debut EP in 2018 and released their follow-up album, simply titled Backwater Township II, in November 2022. The band has performed at a number of festivals, including Festival Présence autochtone (2019, 2020), Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (2019) and Sunset on Sumerled (2019). Festival Jazz et Blues Saguenay (2023) Backwater Township’s music and presence led to bandleader Corey Thomas being nominated for the Oliver Jones Award in 2019.

Backwater Township’s music has been featured on major CBC radio shows, such as Minotan and Saturday Night Jazz, and included in major Spotify curated playlists, such as Fresh Finds Jazz and The Jazz Collectio
