Hey Music Friends in Vancouver, It's Festival Season! Anyone from up North gonna make it down this way to Washington? We're about a 2.5 hour drive from you to the festival.
Come out and party with us at the 8th Annual Meltdown. 30+ bands on three stages, camping on 40 acres next to the river and epic views of glacier capped Whitehorse Mountain from the stage. This is going to be one of the best years yet, hope you can make it!
Really enjoyed the performance at the Jazz Festival in Vancouver. It was very moving. Great to finally see you on the Steinway and the band was incredible. Wow!
