TASH

and KENNI

Two young individuals standing against a plain concrete wall. The person on the left has short hair, wearing glasses, a black top, layered necklaces, and white pants, with their hand on hip. The person on the right has curly hair, wearing a black shirt, white pants with cartoon writing and drawings, and black sneakers.

TASH and KENNI is a charming jazz duo featuring vocalist Tasha Adams and pianist Kenton Willem. The pair met in Nanaimo and connected over their shared identities as queer musicians and their love of big band music. Tasha’s singing is playful and full of life, with a unique sense of rhythm and groove rooted in her background as a jazz bassist. Kenni, a skilled multi-instrumentalist and composer, brings their piano expertise to the mix, adding rich harmonies and creative arrangements. Their performances are a fun blend of jazz classics, original songs, and fresh takes on popular hits that everyone will enjoy.
