GROOVE CARTEL:
Groove Cartel is a Sarnia, Ontario-based instrumental trio blending jazz, funk, Latin, and soul influences into a sound that is both technically impressive and deeply groove-driven. Featuring Wulf Von Waldo on saxophone, Alex Deuzeman on bass, and Evan Chambers on drums, the group creates music built around tight interplay, improvisation, and infectious rhythm.
Known for their dynamic live performances, Groove Cartel moves effortlessly between laid-back jazz textures, deep funk grooves, and high-energy improvisation. Their sound is rooted in classic jazz traditions while pulling inspiration from modern fusion, Latin rhythms, and the raw energy of live jam bands.
With a style that feels equally at home in intimate clubs, festivals, breweries, and larger outdoor events, Groove Cartel delivers a performance that is both sophisticated and accessible. Their music is designed to connect with listeners—whether through intricate solos, memorable grooves, or the chemistry that comes from three musicians pushing each other in real time.
Based in Southern Ontario, Groove Cartel continues to build a reputation as a versatile and engaging live act, bringing a unique blend of musicianship, energy, and originality to every stage they play.
