Earshot Jazz Festival Presents: High Pulp Wednesday, November 1 8:30 pm PDT 21+  In-person* $12 students/military $25 Earshot members/seniors (60+) $30 public Seattle/L.A-based collective, High Pulp draws on jazz, bebop, punk rock, shoegaze, hip-hop, and electronic music to create a sound that is both vintage and futuristic. The core ensemble includes Antoine Martel (keyboard, synthesizer), Andrew Morrill (saxophone), Bobby Granfelt (drums), Rob Homan (keys), Victory Nguyen (tenor saxophone), Trevor Eulau (guitar) and Kaelie Earle (bass).  Born out of a loose, weekly jam session hosted at Seattle’s historic Royal Room, the band now tours nationally with upcoming dates taking them across the country as well as into Canada. “We’re a bunch of outsiders who refused to be kept out,” says High Pulp drummer Bobby Granfelt. “We’ve never had an academic approach to jazz—most of us grew up playing in DIY bands—so it was the rawness and the energy and the absolute freedom of the music that called to us in the first place.” They’ve released three albums—Bad Juice (2020) and Pursuit of Ends (2022) which guest-stars such jazz luminaries as Theo Croker, Brandee Younger, and Jaleel Shaw.
