Sapphire Empire is a 5-piece acid–pop/soul band from Winnipeg, Canada. The group has released a self-titled EP in 2015. The sound of Sapphire Empire is genre bending, their arrangements are unexpected, groovy and beautiful featuring soaring vocals and catchy guitar riffs. The band contains jazz players and a classically trained vocalist all with eclectic styles and backgrounds. The group boasts a stellar live show with exciting tunes and stage presence.

"I've had the pleasure seeing Sapphire Empire evolve and play in different shapes, every time it is fulfilling. They are a genre-bending trio that really encompasses Winnipeg's eclectic music scene. If you have the chance to see them live, don't let it pass you by" - Anthony Carvalho, Promotion Coordinator Rhythm/NCI FM

" They sound like soul, R&B, rap, ska and funk music all wrapped up in a cozy saxophone and trumpet blanket." -The Enemy Magazine
