No Dice is a quartet of friends brought together two years ago through a love
of jazz music. These University of Guelph music students have been keeping
busy ever since; playing for audiences in Brantford, Guelph, Waterloo and
Toronto.
Their live performances will get you on your feet with up tempo swing, bop
and bossa tunes, and also let you get swept away in ballads and smooth jazz.
They are a joy to watch, playing off one another's creative energy throughout
their sets. Keep this charming group of up and comers on your radar, as they
undoubtably will be making a name for themselves in the near future. If you
want to sit back, relax and listen to your typical jazz band, sorry, No Dice!
