It's time for another Made in Manitoba, and tonight for the first time, we welcome the Winkler and Morden based group Ezrah Stone to the program.
The group has its roots set firmly years ago when Jeffrey Klassen teamed up with a friend to form it, with Ezrah Stone's return to making music about four years ago with Jeffrey reforming and leading it with four new members joining. Josh Reimer, Darcy Bergmann, Yurii Patserniuk and Joel Klassen are now in the mix, with the group's debut album "What's Inside" out now.
The rebirth of Ezrah Stone is not just a continuation, but a reinvention, that marries the essence of 1970s classic rock with the soulful depth of modern beats, enhanced by superb male and female harmonies along with distinctive European synth influence.
We'll explore what it's been like for Jeffrey and Josh, who were in a group previously, to work together again and this time pretty much exclusively on new, original music created by them. We'll also dive into the story behind the creation of the song "Paint a Picture" which features the Morden Ukrainian children's choir.
The story of Ezrah Stone's return, music from its new album and conversation with Jeffrey, Josh, Yurii and Joel... all coming up on Made in Manitoba.
