Our Story
The upbeat live phenomenon: Accolades are an 8 piece Funk-Fusion band taking over their home town, Toronto. Having spent years honing their skills in some of the best music programs of the city, primarily the Humber and York University Jazz programs, and in some of Toronto’s most renowned venues, such as Lee’s Palace, The Hideout or the Horseshoe, the collective has cultivated a unique upbeat sound that incorporates elements of Progressive Rock, Funk, Jazz, and RnB music. The outcome has proven to be furiously dynamic and packed with energy, providing a live experience likely to make you move those hips!
Since being signed to the independent label Akashic Records in early 2018, the Accolades have been working on the release of their second EP, “Whatchu Got”, a follow-up to their debut self titled and self-released EP. In the last 2 years since that release, the band has been building up momentum, and plans to take the scene by storm with their new single, Electric Groove, featuring World-class trumpet player Alexis Baro, who’s many years of experience helped lift the song to a new level while adding a touch of Cuban Jazz to their Funky beat.
“The Accolades not only deliver funk-rock without any of the frequently repeated clichés, but also bring a reinvigorating breath to jazz fusion, removing much of the associated cheesiness while bringing a sense of modernity through a more overt rock influence.” – Canadian Beats
