SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With 22,376 artists, boasting 99,212 tracks, the CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

Vancouver’s Adrienne Pierce writes literate pop music and performs her material with soulful intensity. Her debut album, Small Fires, garnered rave reviews and it wasn’t long before the world recognized her talents. Songs from her second release, the EP Hors D’Oeuvres, found their way into shows such as Grey’s Anatomy and Veronica Mars. Her track “Lost and Found” was featured alongside Spoon and Tegan and Sara on the soundtrack album for the latter. Adrienne’s music has since been heard on dozens of popular television shows.

Adrienne’s 3rd album ‘Oh Deer’ is set to be released tomorrow and you can hear songs from it HERE.
