The Feel Good Family Band, post-bop / experimental folk / edgy pop / dada / free improv

The Feel Good Family Band plays mostly original songs that reflect the music experiences of our three generations. We are Wally Brooker (saxophones, vocals), Cassie Norton (violin, guitar, ukelele, vocals), and Yoshi Maclear Wall (bass, vocals).

Wally’s jazz compositions range from outside post-bop to modal folk inspired jazz. Cassie’s songs range from experimental folk and edgy pop, to climate anthems and hymns to the rocks, waters, flora and fauna of the Canadian Shield. Yoshi’s situationist dada compositions, while leaving lots of room for free improvisation, contain instructions for performers which surprise and delight listeners.

Wally Brooker is a saxophonist, vocalist, composer, music journalist and social justice activist. Cassie Norton is a singer-songwriter, violinist, multi-instrumentalist, music teacher and climate activist. Yoshi Maclear Wall is a bassist and vocalist, composer, music teacher and activist.
