About Bahamas

Finnish-Canadian indie rocker Afie Jurvanen said he selected Bahamas as the name for his solo project because “It sounded like a place I’d rather be.” ∙ Before releasing his 2009 debut album, Pink Strat, he played guitar in the live bands of fellow Canadians Feist, Jason Collett, and Howie Beck. ∙ His 2014 single “All the Time” became a breakout hit after it was used in a national ad campaign starring James Franco. ∙ Bahamas Is Afie, his third LP, made Q’s list of the Top 20 albums of 2014. ∙ He’s won four Juno Awards, including Adult Alternative Album honors for Bahamas is Afie and 2018’s Earthtones. ∙ Earthtones features the contributions of legendary drummer James Gadson (Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) and bassist Pino Palladino (The Who, Nine Inch Nails, D’Angelo).
