Vancouver Winter Blues Fest is a brand new music festival, highlighting some great Canadian blues, funk, soul & roots talent. We're starting off with a 2 night blowout at the venerable Wise Hall, and plan to grow the festival in the coming years. We have big plans, and appreciate the support for live music in Vancouver! Night 1: Friday Dec 4th * Secondhand Dreamcar (Edmonton, AB) – Juno nominated 9-piece soul and funk extravaganza * Honeybear, the Band (Van BC) – Vintage inspired soul, blues & roots quartet, from down the street * Sinéad X Sanders (Van BC) – Like a ghost from a simpler time, Sanders weaves together blues, R&B, country, jazz and punk Night 2: Saturday Dec 5th * The Harpoonist (Van Island, BC) – A harmonica virtuoso with a couple of decades in the blues-based rock and roll trenches * Dawn Pemberton B3 Quartet (Van BC) – multiple Juno nominee whose voice moves effortlessly from gospel & soul to jazz & funk * Marcus Trummer (Calgary, AB) – A young blood with an old soul, Marcus deftly combines blues, soul, R&B, and rock
