"Every so often music isn't played by a band so much as music plays a band. For this to happen, the players have to listen to each other, be patient, step forth with courage and when that happens, wow. Midbrain Surfers are such a band. Experienced, masterful, creative…fun! Attend and become one with the music. Opportunity rocks.'' - Don Derksen

“True to form, it was an evening of ethereal, primal, umma gumma-ish music, soundscapes, vocalizations and poetic imaginings that can only be described as a Walkabout through the Bardos; a light fantastic slip into zones of slightly alternate dimensional voyaging, while bringing everyone back safely, and with a smile on each face.” - E.T. Nada

"I had the privilege of losing myself in one of the most innovative performances I have ever experienced. Seriously one of the best surprises of the Dreamplay concert series. Bravo to you all."  - Laurie Gyde

“Midbrain Surfers are a wonderful band! One of my favorites. Their music is exotic, sometimes mysterious, and often funny. There’s always an infectious groove when they perform that’s overlaid with an eclectic concoction of sonic delights: jazzy solos, instrumental blooms, harmonic singing, Gregorian chants, percussion free-for-alls, traditional and also oddball musical instruments, tender melodies...  You name it, and it will appear.” - Glenn Buhr (composer/ performer/ producer/ professor)

“Midbrain Surfers weave Middle Eastern and Gregorian vocals into a hypnotic tapestry of didgeridoo echoes, pulsing bass loops, and rich rhythms. A sonic journey inward, their music captivated audiences at Earth Mutant Presents events at X-Cues Café and Lounge in Winnipeg in 2024.” - Murray Toews (presenter)

“Dude, that was a very inspiring concert last night, way to go. I was proud.”- Andrew Balfour (Juno nominated Cree composer)
