LIVE JAZZ AT GROW

Join us every Thursday night at Grow Hackney, where the rhythms of classic and modern jazz fill the air, led by the dynamic quartet, Stratos, from Grow’s floating stage.

Situated along the tranquil canalside of Hackney Wick, Grow provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of immersive live music, blending urban energy with the cool sophistication of jazz.

Enjoy a hearty, homemade evening menu and drinks including signature cocktails, organic wine, lagers, IPA and a range of soft and hot drinks.

STRATOS - GROW’S HOUSE BAND

Stratos, spearheaded by the Mercury Prize-nominated bassist Rio Kai, promises an unforgettable musical experience that takes you on a voyage through the diverse realms of jazz—from straight-ahead classics to innovative fusion.

The band features the talents of Jamie Murray on drums and Dom Pusey on saxophone, and Mike De Souza on guitar creating a soundscape that is both timeless and contemporary.

THE EVENT

The evening kicks off with an outdoor performance on the terrace in the summer, where you can savor the sounds of jazz while watching the serene River Lea flow by. As the night progresses, the music moves indoors, turning Grow’s intimate venue into a vibrant jazz haven. After the first set, the floor opens up to a lively jam session where local musicians are welcome to join in, adding their flair to the mix. Contact @stratostheband on Instagram if you’re interested in jamming. .
