SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With 28,852+ artists, boasting 136,489+ 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.

Sometimes Vancouver is given wonderful gifts from far off lands, and Ma Petite is one of them! Melborne born musician Indiana Avent brought her solo project Ma Petite to Canada not too long ago, and after playing violin for artists such as Bon Iver, Soko, Dan Mangan, Gotye, Jordan Klassen, Lamplight, Zachary Lucky, and Treelines among others, she’s now working on her debut album ‘The Road That Led Me To Fall’ here in Vancouver.

You can catch this charming, witty and talented lady at the Media Club this Thursday as one of the opening acts at the Jamison Troy album release show, and check out the playlist she made for us by some of her favourite Vancouver musicians (MANY of which she’s performed with!) by clicking below!…
