Zach Hedstrom moved to Fourmile Canyon around five years ago. Around that time, he and other musicians in the area started hosting gatherings to jam and enjoy each other’s company. Eventually, this gathering of people started playing local venues as a group, and thus, Canyon Collective was born.
The name Canyon Collective comes from the rotating lineup of the group. While there are core members who consistently play in Canyon Collective, there are also many musicians who jump in and out of the group that live in and around Fourmile Canyon, creating a welcoming environment for local musicians.
Hedstrom describes the group as a “high-energy global groove funk band,” as they play music primarily rooted in funk with various global influences such as Latin, West African, and reggae rhythms. In regards to core members, Hedstrom plays drums, Christopher Clauss plays bass, Ryan Benthall plays keyboard, Eshan Escoffery plays trombone, Matthew Wilkolak plays trumpet, Derek Miles plays guitar, and Greg[g] Freeman serves as the percussionist.
