The Way Back Whens

The Way Back Whens are a brand-new, old-fashioned traditional jazz band. Featuring Edmonton’s finest old school players, The Way Back Whens will take you… well, way way back! They are an old school jazz street party band with a megaphone, pumping out classic jams and brand new numbers.

Their debut album, Live at the Yardbird Suite will be released in April of 2024.

The Way Back Whens features a renewed collaboration between Dan Davis on clarinet and saxophone and Keith Rempel on sousaphone and bass. Dan and Keith are joined by: Canada’s best trombonist Audrey Ochoa, Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle Champion Daniel Gervais, and tap dancer Barbara Vargas. Brett Hansen and Daniel Stadnicki bring their inimitable talents on banjo, drums and cymbals to round out the group.
