Solon McDade

Juno Award winners Solon & Jeremiah McDade are excited to share the vibrancy of their Mile-End Quintet, a dynamic ensemble built around the original compositions of saxophonist Jeremiah McDade and bassist Solon McDade.

Their music has evolved from years spent performing and collaborating in the rich and diverse music scene of their home neighbourhood of Mile End, Montreal. Both brothers can be heard on dozens of recordings and have performed all over Europe and North America. Joining The McDade Brothers are Grammy Award winning drummer Rich Irwin, alto saxophonist and McGill teacher Donny Kennedy, and pianist Paul Shrofel who has recorded with Quincy Jones, Sophie Milman, and Nikki Yanofsky.
