Four80East is a Toronto-based electro-jazz duo that’s all about the groove. Drawing from their diverse musical influences, Rob DeBoer (keyboards, bass, guitar) and Tony Grace (percussion) have created a signature sound that combines electronic production with live instrumentation. Although Four80East was born as a studio project, Tony and Rob have been able to transform their layered and captivating sonic productions into a high-energy live show, with the help of the many world-class musicians who join them on stage. Since breaking out with their debut “The Album” in 1997, Four80East has been a mainstay on contemporary jazz radio. They have scored several top-ten Billboard hits, including e. g. #1 in 2019 with “Cinco Cinco Seis”. This year, Four80East is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Bei dem in Toronto ansässigen Electro-Jazz-Duo Four80East dreht sich alles um „den Groove“. Rob DeBoer (Keyboards, Bass, Gitarre) und Tony Grace (Percussion) haben aus ihren vielfältigen musikalischen Einflüssen einen unverwechselbaren Sound entwickelt, der elektronische Produktion mit Live-Instrumenten kombiniert. Obwohl Four80East als Studioprojekt aus der Taufe gehoben wurde, schafften es Tony und Rob, ihre vielschichtigen und fesselnden Klangproduktionen in eine energiegeladene Live-Show zu verwandeln - nicht zuletzt mit Hilfe der vielen Weltklasse-Musiker, die mit ihnen die Bühne teilen. Auch aus dem zeitgenössischen Jazzradio sind Four80East seit der Veröffentlichung ihres Debüts „The Album“ 1997 nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie haben mehrere Top-Ten-Billboard-Hits gelandet; mit „Cinco Cinco Seis“ wurden sie z. B. 2019 #1. In diesem Jahr feiern Four80East ihr 25-jähriges Jubiläum.

Four80East é um duo de electro-jazz de Toronto que tem tudo a ver com o groove. Com base nas suas diversas influências musicais, Rob DeBoer (teclas, baixo, guitarra) e Tony Grace (percursão) criaram um som único que combina a produção electrónica com a instrumentalização ao vivo. Embora o Four80East tenha nascido como um projecto de estúdio, o Tony e o Rob conseguiram transformar as suas produções sónicas estratificadas e cativantes num espectáculo ao vivo cheio de energia com a ajuda de muitos músicos de renome mundial que se juntam a eles no palco. Desde o lançamento do seu álbum de estreia “The Album” em 1997, os Four80East têm sido uma constante na rádio de jazz contemporâneo. Eles alcançaram alguns Top 10 na tabela Billboard, incluindo pro exemplo o #1 em 2019 com “Cinco Cinco Seis”. Este ano os Four80East celebram o seu 25º aniversário.
