From Nanaimo a musical force has emerged that鈥檚 both reflective and radiant. The Skye Douglas Project (SDP) performs with a fresh yet timeless voice, blending Nordic Jazz, World Music, Neo-Classical influences, and spiritual depth into a rich tapestry of original sound.
At the heart of the ensemble is Dean Boland (Skye) 鈥� trumpeter, composer, and visionary. With a Master鈥檚 in Composition focused on the elusive and expressive 鈥淣ordic Tone,鈥� Boland brings a deeply personal and minimalist aesthetic to SDP鈥檚 music. His compositions, influenced by the likes of Mathias Eick and the Wasserfuhr Brothers, invite listeners into a meditative space where music becomes both prayer and celebration.
The ensemble鈥檚 sound is a conversation 鈥� intentional, joyful, and spacious, offering room for reflection and imagination. Their performances are more than concerts; they are shared experiences of beauty, peace, and hope.
The Skye Douglas Project is: Dean Boland on trumpet and keyboard, Nick Peck on keyboards, Quin Etheridge-Pedden on violin and bass and James McRae on drums.
SDP鈥檚 mission is simple yet profound: to be agents of Hope and Peace, drawing listeners inward and upward through music that feels like a breath of fresh, Nordic air.
