“The full impact of Grantis is her live performance: the interaction with other musicians on stage, the improvisational wizardry, and the sheer passion that can be felt... The natural high on-stage spread to the audience, with folks alternating between being completely spellbound and shaking their heads in amazement.” – Sticky Magazine

The Donna Grantis Electric Band is a psychedelic fusion trio fronted by Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis. Featuring Roger Travassos (drums) and Steve Zsirai (bass), the group recently released their debut album titled Suites. Inspired by artists ranging from Bill Frisell to Billy Cobham and Jeff Beck to Jimi Hendrix, the album is a concept record featuring two suites of original instrumental music named after Donna’s beloved guitars: Elektra and Starla.

“I love jazz, but I’m a rocker at heart,” says the young Canadian guitarist. “Suites is a combination of both worlds. The songs have a jazz sensibility with a rock n’ roll edge. My roots are in Electric Blues and you can definitely hear that influence on the record as well.”

Donna aims to push the boundaries of her live performance. In the spirit of experimental jam bands, each show is musically unique.

She describes the group’s approach to improvisation as “creating music in the moment, reacting to each other on stage, exploring musical themes for extended lengths of time, and utilizing effects pedals to broaden the tonal pallet of the music. The creative intention is to be free and continuously challenge each other on stage. Hopefully in doing so, we can create an experience for listeners and take the audience on a musically engaging journey.”

Be a part of the journey and experience the Donna Grantis Electric Band live and on record.
