JV’s Boogaloo Squad

Winnipeg native and Toronto keyboardist Joel Visentin, has a passion for the sound of the Hammond B3 organ. Originally a pianist, the organ first grabbed him while he was studying music at Humber College. In 2015, he joined up with guitarist Adam Beer Colacino and drummer Jeff Halischuk to form his group JV’s Boogaloo Squad. The musical connection was electric and immediately all three recognized that they had stumbled on something greater than the sum of its parts. They have since worked their way up the club circuit becoming a regular fixture at Toronto’s jazz and blues ground zero, The Rex. This blend of the familiar and the unknown, the distant past and the pressing moment keeps music lovers coming back to see them again and again.
