May kicks off with a bang!

Oh my goodness, I have so much performing happening in the next 9 days! 

It all starts this Friday May 1st. I’m playing my first ever show at Tyrant Studios in Vancouver (1019 Seymour St, upstairs). My band and I are going to perform songs from Gala Gardens as well as new repertoire from my forthcoming new album. It’s a night of instrumental lofi hip hop inspired ambient electronic jazz. 

You can call it  🎺 ~lofi dream jazz~ 🎶

Very chill, deeply groovy jams. Watch this little clippy from rehearsal. 😎

There are advance tickets available on the Tyrant website. Seating will be accommodated at the door as well, by cash. Doors are 9pm. Downbeat 9:30pm. $20

If you cannot make that show I have great news for you, we are doing another performance just one week later on Friday May 8th at Guilt & Co. (1 Alexander St, downstairs). This is an early show, 7pm-8:45pm. No tickets in advance, just first come first served. Cover charge to support the band is included with the bill. 

Beyond my Sextet performances I also have weekend shows playing with Girl A Girl B, my nostalgia folk pop project with my twin sister Elizabeth and bestie Doug Gorkoff. 

We have a double header Sunday May 3rd starting off with Ships to Shore in Steveston at Garry Point Park, celebrating the arrival of the Japanese Tall Ship Kaiwo Maru. It will be a unique cultural and maritime experience to your weekend. Our performance is at 11:30am-12:15pm on the Dockside Stage as our full trio (with Magic Cello!). 

Then we jet off to Deer Lake Park to play at Burnaby Blooms, a favourite community spring celebration we always love to return to. Our set there is at 3:20pm-4pm.  

All of the Girl A Girl B performances are outdoors and free to enjoy.
