I've Got A Date With A Wrecking Ball (Day 2)

Another evening, another James Lamb performance. Another show at Cafe Montmartre too...the staff remembered me, always a good thing.

James & David had another great show (also playing that night was Erica Mah) performing to a slightly larger, but 10x hotter (temperature wise) crowd.

I've Got A Date With A Wrecking Ball (Day 1)

Whenever I see there is another show at The Cocoa Nymph I am excited...so when I saw that the talented James Lamb would be playing there, my plans were set.

There were about 20 people squeezed into the little chocolate store, seated so close to James (and David Newberry) that they remarked the only way they could be closer is if they were sitting in our laps.

Lovely Laura

I went to the Biltmore to see my wonderfully talented friend Laura Smith play, and was treated to a great evening of music and friends.

In addition to Laura, I managed to finally see Elias play live (complete with Adaline cameo!) and Bodhi Jones for the first time after being solicited for Peak Performance votes.

Some of the best of Vancouver's music scene were there too (Hannah Georgas, JP Maurice, James Lamb, Josh McNorton, to name drop a few).

I had a wonderful time and here are some photos of that evening:

Beard-Off!

I was so excited when my latest musical friend Matt Epp asked me to recommend some Vancouver musicians to play at his CD Release show. Both my picks said yes...so essentially I fashioned together a night of music that was quite to my taste.

James Lamb and Cory Woodward opened at the Media Club on the 11th of November, and then Matt ended the night off with mostly new songs from his newly-released-record.

Here are 3 of my favourites:

Lights Across The Stage/Nat Jay CD Release/The Media Club vol. 2

I proudly arrived at the Media Club for the 2nd night in a row, 300 buttons in hand, and with my name atop the list of guests (how special did I feel?!) My wonderful friend Nat Jay had the release party for her new CD Lights Across The Sky and there was a great turnout! Nat played with a band live for the first time and it sounded amazing (esp. with Tom and Peter from what used to be Lotus Child[a band I miss dearly] performing in the band!) I also have a few photos of James Lamb performing, which was great as usual!
