In this new episode of Neon Jazz, we catch up with drummer Stich Wynston and saxophonist Richard Underhill of the iconic Toronto-based band Shuffle Demons. We dive into their electrifying new 2025 album, Are You Really Real, a project that brilliantly captures the magic of their legendary live performances.

Recorded at the historic Canterbury Music Studio in Toronto, Are You Really Real strips the music down to its essentials — bass, horns, and drums — creating a bold, full-bodied sound that fuels high-level improvisation and dynamic grooves. The album honors the band’s rich history while fearlessly pushing their sound forward, blending traditional jazz, funk, blues, and rap influences into a modern, genre-bending experience.

In our conversation, we explore the band’s journey, the making of the new record, the evolution of Toronto’s music scene, and much more. Dig deep with us into the world of one of Canada’s most innovative jazz groups!
