The Liquor Store
The Liquor Store is a Montreal-based band whose six accomplished young musicians explore a diversity of genres - R&B, funk, hip hop, soul, electronica and jazz - and offer a fresh vision of urban music in Quebec. Since 2015, the band has brought its contagious and danceable energy to multiple outdoor stages, such as the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and toured extensively across Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes. The Liquor Store's performances always impress, whether raucous and sweaty on stage, or intimate, sophisticated and thoughtful in the studio.
Colossos, the band’s latest (third) album, received a 2022 ADISQ nomination for Best Jazz Album of the Year in Quebec. It is a conceptual suite of seven instrumentals with an ever-evolving palette of emotions; relentless, cathartic and deeply reflective - the most spiritual work the band has done so far.
