Half Past Four is what happens when a group of talented musicians decide to throw genre rules out the window and see what sticks—usually something in 11/8.

Based in Canada and proudly genre-fluid for nearly two decades, Half Past Four fuses progressive rock with jazz, classical, metal, folk, funk, and the occasional musical curveball. One moment it’s vintage Crimson precision, the next it’s a cartoonishly funky detour worthy of a Zappa fever dream.

Each member brings serious chops and a playful spirit, creating music that’s as intricate as it is unpredictable. Think: Kate Bush on a synth bender, Gentle Giant lost in a video game soundtrack, or Yes trying to score a spy thriller. It’s a sound that shifts gears often, but always lands somewhere compelling.

If you like your prog with brains, heart, and a slightly mischievous grin, Half Past Four delivers the goods—and then some.
