Last week in music...

First up last week was the oh-so-talented Hannah Epperson and her loop pedals performing at The Backstage Lounge:

Later that week The Rio Theatre hosted a Piano Recital. Artists included: Dominique Fricot (The Painted Birds), Prairie Cat, Jody Glenham, Dan Moxon (Bend Sinister) and Adaline.

Saturday Night found Michael Bernard Fitzgerald (w/ The Loud Love Choir) at the Pitt Pub at UBC, with Dave Vertesi (of Hey Ocean) opening, playing solo music of his own:

One Night Stand II

For a second year in a row some of Vancouver's best came together on New Years Eve to play some covers, drink some booze and have a ton of fun.

I was asked to set up a photo booth for the evening, which ended up being a source of great amusement and hilarious photos.

It was truly a amazing night (I even played cowbell/tambourine for a few songs, and sang Hey Jude with the ensemble on stage at the end of the night).

and for kicks, here's the video that I shot of the band/ladies covering M.I.A.'s Paper Planes:

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:
