The brain-child of rising star Sophie Stockham; her energy and lyricism on the Alto saxophone is complemented by the brilliance of Jake McMurchie on tenor, the distinctive sounds of Greg Cordez (Bass) and Joe Wilkins (Guitar), and the band’s main composer, the formidable Matt Brown (Drums).

Tony Benjamin – Bristol 247 ‘Sefrial has a strong musical identity.’
