Mocking Shadows

Mocking Shadows is a Canadian R&B and jazz/funk fusion band from Calgary, Alberta.

History
Mocking Shadows was founded in 1997, and originally performed traditional rhythm and blues music. The band's first album was entitled Mock1, and this was followed in 1999 with a live album, Caught in the Act, and "Long Way," in 2001. In 2001 and 2002, the Mocking Shadows toured across Canada with B. B King.

The lineup changed over time, leading to the introduction of funk elements and ska jazz in their music.

The band released several more albums; their album Out of the Blue was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award in 2004. The Shadows horn section also contributed to Boogie Patrol's 2017 album Man On Fire.
