FEATURE ARTIST
With smooth melodic lines, catchy lyrics, and danceable grooves, The Consonance captivates their audiences. The group began in the winter of 2008 - four women and two men who all met at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton. Sensing great chemistry early in their song writing process, they began gigging and recording immediately. The band released their first EP, More Alive, in March 2009. The Consonance has “...come up with some cool, quirky stuff drawing on varied pop, funk and hip-hop elements, sewing it all up into a tight groove jazz style.” (The Edmonton Journal).  
The band has established themselves in their home town, playing dozens of shows in all kinds of venues. They have also gained a following outside of Edmonton, appearing on numerous college and local radio stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Kamloops, and various other Canadian cities. They have collectively made music their life and are constantly growing and changing together. The Consonance’s six members are from different walks of life, with six different musical backgrounds. In every song you can hear the six forces working as one: Jazz, Funk, Pop, Rock, R&B, and Hip- Hop. The Consonance have combined all genres to create one that is truly their own.
In July 2010, they embarked on a Western Canadian tour to promote their first full-length album, Come The Day, which was recorded at the end of March and released in July. Their debut has already sold hundreds of copies all over the country and on iTunes. It is also available at various local merchants in Edmonton including Blackbyrd Myoozik. “In the six-piece’s full-length...Come The Day, The Consonance further hone their vibrant brand of soulful jazz-flecked hip hop to make a sound all their own...” (The MuseBox)
After an extremely successful year of recording, touring and promotion, the band’s focus has greatly increased. Over the next year their plans include another full length album and a coast to coast tour in the summer of 2011.
*We featured their song called "More Alive than Life Itself".
