About The Gentlemen of Leisure Collective

The Gentlemen of Leisure Collective is a Seattle-Based band comprised of Chris Blount, Sphinx Akashaa Duncan, Jennifer Hasson, Skyler Jones, Pope James, and Brendan Hardy. Officially forming 5 years ago with a mission to bring soul and class back into music.
With their progressively soulful fusion of sounds, they've already begun to make their mark upon the Seattle music scene and plan to expand that mark to the rest of the world.

Great and Powerful (2017) Is the band's first full release; a tapestry of sounds, emotions, and stories of life experiences, heartache, joy, and a zombie apocalypse.

The band has played venues at SXSW for two years in a row, as well as opened for popular local acts such as Warren Dunes and The Harper Conspiracy. They've also appeared twice on the Spud Goodman Radio Show.

"The Gentlemen Of Leisure are a force. As the world shrinks into niche interests and sub-genres, (expired link). offer a bold, brash presentation of the future. The band highlights the best music has to offer, connecting and challenging it’s audience. The group’s debut project will offer a refreshing look at the possibilities of sound and dare to do something obscene: bring people together. Long Live The Gentlemen."
