About this event

Matterform 6:30pm Doors 7pm Show PURCHASE TICKETS HERE! $15 – Advance $20 – At The Door *One drink minimum per person Matterform is a Ventura-based instrumental groove band living at the intersection of deep pocket, cosmic improvisation, and jazz harmony. Matterform draws from jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, and dance music to build immersive instrumental journeys. Psychedelic guitar leads, wailing sax lines and floaty piano which thread through lush jazz harmonies, swirling textures, and rhythm sections that stay deep in the pocket. Whether stretching out live or locking into tightly composed sections, the band thrives on momentum, patience, and release. It’s music for moving bodies, open minds, and listeners who appreciate groove-driven improvisation, rich harmony, and collective energy over flash. Featuring: Drew Espejo (Drums) Javi Avila (keys) Tony Pelosi (guitar) Zach Manpearl (Bass/organ) Chet Toner (saxophone/ guitar) Taylor Hopkins (bass) Rafa Langa (percussion)
