]]> Jordan Wav is a guitarist and songwriter from Toronto. He has a passion for guitar-driven music with an emphasis on improvisation. Jordan formed his band in 2017 in Kingston, Ontario. Jordan hosted a weekly open jam and chose his bandmates based on who he enjoyed jamming with the most – a chemistry which became critical to their sound. In 2020, Jordan started building guitar pedals and posted videos featuring them on Instagram and TikTok, which grew into a community of guitar and gear enthusiasts. Since venues have reopened, Jordan has been playing local shows with his band, releasing more music and playing lead guitar in the Art Rock project “Mihalyistic Entities”. Alongside shows, Jordan does session work, keeps up with online music content and frequents open jams throughout the city.
