Founded in 2003, the NOW Project developed from a weekly jam with original members: Nigel Wolf, Andrew Frost, Paul Barclay (throat-singer), Ivana Popovic (violin). Nigel recruited Ben Legge, at the end of 03; first gig at Holy Joe's January 04. Paul Fitterer completes the core group, performing with Ann-Marie Boudreau (backing vocals) @ the NOW Lounge February 04. More gigs ensued, with the first of three PS Kensington performances on the Day-out-of-Time, July 25/04; followed by Kimbercote & OM Festival appearances.In the Spring of 04, Nigel founded a spoken word & music event, called "the WORD" @ the Rustic Cosmo Café in Parkdale, attracting many fine poets & musicians: Linda Stitt, Bruce Stephenson, Brian Di Giuseppe, Norman Allan, Nik Beat and bill bissett, to name a few.The NOW Project took a hiatus between 05-06, during which time the APB Trio continued to jam and gig. In the summer of 07, the band reunited for a memorable PS Kensington gig. We have been blessed to have many excellent musicians join our ranks at various gigs, including : Yoshi Yamano (sitar), Rick Hyslop (violin), Jeff Burke (bassoon), and William Pipher (didgeridoo).The name of our band reflects the strong emphasis on improvisation in all our performances. This was the theme of the seminal Friday night jam sessions on Armstrong Avenue, and continues to drive us forward today. For this reason, I feel blessed to work with such fine musicians ! in Oneness, Nigel
