SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With 27,192+ artists, boasting 142,000+ 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. |
This week we are celebrating the return of, and 35th anniversary of, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival which is happening from the 13th to the 15th this weekend! There are some amazing artists from Vancouver, Canada and abroad performing this year (Dan Mangan, Hey Rosetta!, and more)... but we nabbed YVR's (and one of my favourite new bands) Wake Owl to put us together a playlist of their favourite Vancouver artists!
Click below to hear their choices, and you can catch Wake Owl during VFMF at their concert on Sunday at 11:35am, as well as during the workshops with Dan Mangan on Saturday and Amelia Curran on Sunday! Check the schedules here.
