Big Space is an Alternative Jazz trio featuring guitarist Grant King, bassist Ian Murphy and drummer Ashley Chalmers. 

​

Formed in 2013 and based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Big Space plays an original mix of progressive jazz fusion, instrumental rock and atmospheric soundscapes. They have built a reputation as an exciting live act, with festival performances at Sound Symposium, Lawnya Vawnya, Wreckhouse Jazz & Blues Festival, Brokestfest, and Music at Harbourside. 

 

In 2016 Big Space released Live at The Levee, a live audio-visual album available on Bandcamp and Youtube. The release earned the band local media attention and in the following years they continued developing their sound through live performances, becoming fixtures in the St. John's music scene. 

​

Their 2021 studio debut In Relation To won ECMA Jazz Recording of the Year, awarded to the best jazz album in Atlantic Canada. It was recorded live in the studio to capture the dynamic interplay between the three musicians. The album's unique alternative/jazz crossover style garnered praise from rock and jazz media in Canada and abroad. 

​

Big Space is currently working on their next album.  

"Big Space takes listeners on a

dizzying jazz-rock journey"
