Plantfood are a blood-pumping jazz force summoning an onslaught of electronic and acoustic sounds with very broad influences, ranging from heavy hitters like The Prodigy to the spiritual explorations of John Coltrane.

The 6-piece collective traverses a multitude of styles and guides audiences through the extremes of the mosh pit to serene meditations, drawing excitement from their music’s “ability to resonate with others no matter the age or background.”

This collective came up through and formed within the inspiring Leeds Jazz scene. They have quickly become a defining sound in that city’s vibrant and exciting jazz community.
