Ladner’s Emmett Martin Hatlelid brings his Rambling Gentlemen to Tsawwassen for a Canada Day performance.

Hatlelid originally from Ladner, and a student of Delta Music School, is a young and up-coming jazz vocalist with a love for the traditional jazz styles.

On vocals and trombone is Brad Shigeta, a former member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra who’s travelled the world performing this music since his early 20s.

On guitar accompaniment is Noah Gotfrit, a young musician who has toured extensively across Europe, Western Canada and the United States with a wide variety of musical acts.

The Rambling Gentlemen are based in Vancouver and play traditional jazz standards in the style of the 1930s and 40s. Their arrangement of standards are inspired by groups and individual artists such as the Mills Brothers, Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians, Al Bowlly, and so on.

They will be performing on Canada Day at L’Aromas, 1200 56th Street, Tsawwassen, between 6 and 8 p.m. and are a monthly feature as well. More info on the band and Hatlelid’s music is at https://emmettmartinhatlelid.com/.
