Loose Leaf Talent Agency Presents: Breathwork - BTV Jazz Festival 2025

Breathwork is an alchemic practice of radiating positivity - a shared  vision that blends jazz, Americana, and improvisation into a distinctive  and accessible sound. Their debut offering, Amber, released on  December 13, 2024, brings this vision to life with a mix of tight rhythms  and free-flowing improvisation. Amber includes originals that  Breathwork has become known for in their live shows as well as their  highly acclaimed rendition of Neil Young’s classic, Old Man. Available 

on vinyl and streaming platforms via Music Lab Records, Amber is  quickly gaining attention for its engaging sound and dynamic energy.  Based in Vermont, Breathwork continues to explore new musical paths,  effortlessly merging genres and leaving listeners curious about their  next move. 

Breathwork is the creative project of Ethan Snyder and Xander Naylor  that combines “that signature Naylor sound” (Rolling Stone) with  Snyder’s “extraordinary talent” (YouTube). Naylor and Snyder’s  expansive careers have brought them to perform in over a dozen  countries including tours across North America, Europe, and India,  touring with such diverse acts as Mwenso and the Shakes, Moon  Hooch, The Sound of (Black) Music and Warbly Jets. They have  performed in concerts and festivals all over the world, (including  Montreal International Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz Festival, Central Park  Summerstage, Lincoln Center, Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, and  the Perelman Performing Arts Center). Their work has been supported  by grants and fellowships, and they have passed on their experience  through workshops at home and abroad.
