Long Bio (200 wds)
Using nothing but their voices and innovative live-looping techniques, international a cappella sensation FreePlay takes you from the concert halls of Europe, to the jazz clubs of Manhattan, to the temples of India, and back to their native Toronto, Canada… all without you leaving your seat. From Bach to Bird to the Beatles to Bollywood, Dylan and Suba effortlessly cross musical boundaries, continually combining and recombining sounds to create a concert of endless variety, with the intimate delivery of two people. Imagine Simon and Garfunkel crossed with a Bach 2-part invention… or an acrobatic jazz melody combined with ancient Indian beats… or a 16-part vocal arrangement created by two singers… and you’ll get a glimpse of what FreePlay has to offer.
FreePlay’s diverse concert program has taken them across Canada and around the world, with performances at major music festivals at over twenty-five countries across six continents. They have three albums: FreePlay (2009), Go Back Forward (2018), and Talk To Me (2022).
Partners offstage as well as onstage, Dylan and Suba delight in exploring music together, bringing this joy to audiences worldwide.
