Details:
Geordie Haley is a guitarist/composer/improviser living and playing music in Toronto. Moving from New Brunswick in 1997, where his regular bands Sameboat, The Exploding Meet and Ujamma were festival favourites, Geordie has established himself in Toronto as a group leader and performer. His Everytime Band (Christine Duncan-vocals, Evan Shaw-sax, Jean Martin-drums, Paul Donat-bass, Eugene Martynec-computers, Ryan Driver-flute and synth) was a featured act in 2005 at both the Toronto and Halifax jazz festivals, and in 2007 at LâOff Festival in Montreal performing material from their debut "The Green Suite", a new music work of environmentally themed compositions and improvisations.

Co-producing a monthly event called Strange Folk, Geordie was able to interact with many of Toronto's improvisers, including Bill Grove, Rhonda Rindone, John Oswald and international drummer, Roger Turner. Geordie is currently a co-curator of the Leftover Daylight series, a weekly, live music presentation with an emphasis on improvisation (produced in association with AIMToronto and Arraymusic). Dancer Shannon Cooney (also featured in a quick time video on POLAR BEARS, the debut album of the Geordie Haley Trio with Nick Fraser-drums and Scott Thomson-trombone); dancer Susie Burpee; videographer June Pak (see www.joesorbara.com for a video called âgeoâs fast tripâ under Joeâs PROJECTS file) and sound artist Sara Peebles are some of the artists from other disciplines with whom Geordie has collaborated.

Other Toronto based groups Geordie leads or performs with include: East Delta Trio (with Vineet Vyas-tabla and Evan Shaw-sax), Sea of Song Trio (with Rob Clutton-bass and Brandon Valdivia-drums), the Liquidaires, the Bill Grove Quartet and the Eve Brown Quartet.
