Eric Chenaux Trio - Hello Eyes
Although not resident here for a good few years now, Eric Chenaux feels very much like a Toronto artist — part of the creative ferment that he was a part of in this city for so long. That made his joining with Ryan Driver and Phil Melanson on last year's Delights Of My Life feel like a fully natural move, and this show demonstrated how deeply in sync the trio has become. Chenaux's deeply unique widdly-wah guitar style was in excellent company with Driver's keybs and Melanson's electronic percussion, the latter of which was uncannily precise in how it fit with the music's wobbling rhythmic sensibility. Dawdling through the masterful "This Ain't Life" before steering into Chenaux's strangely soulful and abstractly funky terrain, it wouldn't do to say that these three were surprisingly vibrant — 'cause that's how they roll — but one can still be taken aback a bit by seeing the magic in action.
