Chube is a young fusion band based in Cardiff lef by Ben Creighton Griffiths with Ashley John Long and Jon Bradford-Jones. They draw their inspiration from a wide variety of artists and genres and write electro acoustic music that pushes the boundaries of their instruments.The harp features prominently in performances, and Ben uses effects processors to take the harp from it's regular, classical sound, to a rock guitar through distortion, an ambient synth through delays and phasers, and much more. Combined with innovative percussion and groovy bass riffs it all goes to creating a totally unique blend of Jazz Fusion.

Chube was set up by Ben Creighton Griffiths (Harp, Keys) and Matt Williams (Drums, Engineering) in 2015. They wrote their first tracks in 2016 before being joined by Aeddan Williams on bass for the recording of their first EP in summer 2017, before releasing it at an exclusive launch show at Tiny Rebel Cardiff in 2018. Since then the project has gone from strength to strength. After the Covid pandemic Ben was joined by Ashley John Long on bass and Jon Bradford Jones on drums, whilst Matt remains with the group as a producer and engineer.

Chube has performed at a number of festivals including the Harp on Wight, Aberjazz, Croftfest. and Wall2Wall Jazz Festivals - giving a unique recital with special guest Dennis Rollins MBE on trombone at the latter. They have also performed at music venues and clubs around the country including Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, The Half Moon Putney, Black Mountain Jazz Club, Matt & Phreds Jazz Club Manchester, CICCIC Taunton, Music Spoken Here Club in Worcester, and The Fleece Bristol.
