Jeff Bryant and Zach Stevenson. Together they represent 100% of a folk-funk duo and precisely one half of The Human Statues, a funk-pop-rock quartet based in Toronto, Canada. Originally from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, these young men are on a mission to spread “jubilation†across the nation. Whether it’s playing high-energy band shows - complete with choreography - at venues such as the Horseshoe Tavern and the Rivoli in Toronto, or intimate acoustic performances in theatres across the country, Jeff and Zach are committed to connecting with people through humour, authenticity and a love of music and live performance. Often described as a cross-breed between the Flight of the Conchords and Simon and Garfunkel, Jeff and Zach blend an energetic pop sensibility with lyrical depth and love of vocal harmony.
"Gorgeously bright, jubilant pop"

“Unlike thousands of too-cool-to-boogie bands around the globe, this Toronto pop duo likes to move on stage: dancing, cavorting and generally having fun.â€

Patrick Blennerhassett, Victoria News Group
“Simon and Garfunkel's hooks and harmonies with the whimsy of Flight of the Conchords. Could they be Canada's next Barenaked Ladies?â€
