NANAIMO'S BACKYARD//UNDERGROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL
EARTHBALL
Nanaimo
EarthBall are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. Their inception was serendipitous, emerging out of necessity when Isabel Ford, John Brennan, and Jeremy Van Wyck needed a name for a gig. What began as a pragmatic solution blossomed into an artistically conceived project. Embracing complete improvisation, free expression and a truly psychedelic sound, the group's lineup expands for different projects and now features Kellen Maclaughlin on Guitar and Liam Murphy on Saxophone. Each member brings a diverse musical background, having been part of various bands such as Shearing Pinx, The Sheen, Kamikaze Nurse, Eschatons and Psychedelic Dirt.
Earth Ball’s performances are more than concerts—they are sonic events, ephemeral and unrepeatable, shaping chaos into something urgent and unforgettable.
