Blending the musical traditions of jazz, rock, and folk music, Paul Richey and The Fusionauts take their name to heart. The band focuses on making new, creative music that is both exciting to hear and fulfilling to play using the harmonies of jazz, the energy of rock, and the singable melodies of folk. South American and African traditions have also greatly influenced the sound of the band as their intricate rhythms are perfectly suited to the band's style. The Fusionauts first formed in 2008 in Toronto under the name "The Jazz Rock Explosion" and although the name has changed, the goal has stayed the same: to perform music that is challenging for the musicians, engaging for the audience, and enjoyable for both. For artists with similar concepts look to Return to Forever, Yellowjackets, Pat Metheny, Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal, and Jerry Douglas. Paul Richey also loves to laugh so don't be surprised when the show takes a turn for some stand up comedy every now and then!
