Bahamas « Industrial Sport & Sound »

Bahamas, the project of Canadian songwriter and guitarist Afie Jurvanen, plays Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg on September 26, 2026. On stage, his songs hinge on understated guitar figures, gentle swing and melodies with room to breathe. After early work with Feist, he traced his own path with Pink Strat and Barchords, refined the approach on Bahamas Is Afie, leaned into soul and groove on Earthtones and Sad Hunk, then explored a country-americana tilt on Bootcut while keeping that clear, unforced voice.

Live, Bahamas favors space and detail: dry electric tones, close harmonies and a rhythm section that holds the pocket steady. The set moves from hushed folk to soul-tinged grooves, with Bootcut tracks woven through earlier material. The writing stays close to everyday scenes and small turns of phrase; the guitar answers with grain and restraint. Arrangements remain lean, the song stays upfront, and the feel sits at the center—an evening built around nuance, time and touch.
