  • The Band That Became Spirit of the West Began As a Folk Trio Called Evesdropper in Vancouver Nearly 30 Years Ago. 13 Albums
    The band that became Spirit of the West began as a Folk trio called Evesdropper in Vancouver nearly 30 years ago. 13 albums later, they have achieved status as one of the most beloved ‘Legacy Artists’ in Canadian history, having proven themselves to be road-worthy, durable, having toured Canada, the US, UK and Europe consistently, building a dedicated following of fans from all over the world. They have been inducted into the Halls of Fame / Lifetime Achievement Categories by the Western Canadian Music Association and the Society of Composers and Music Publishers of Canada, and have used their inestimable charms to wheedle complimentary pints out of barmen in at least 9 countries. With four gold and two platinum albums to their credit, Spirit of the West are responsible for such songs as: ‘(And if) Venice is Sinking’, ‘Five Free Minutes’, ‘Save This House’, ‘The Crawl’ and ‘Home For a Rest’, the song that has been called Canada’s honorary national anthem:. ‘Spirituality: A Consummate Compendium’, a double CD album on Rhino Records, is the band’s most recent release and is a look back at the first 25 years of their career. The band is: John Mann, Guitarist, vocalist and charismatic front man. John is also an accomplished actor who can be seen on episodic television and movies often pretending to be an assassin, ghost, devil, redneck, spy, and other characters that simply don’t scan if you know this vegetarian peacenik. List of both big & small screen appearances as well as starring roles in live theatre far too numerous to mention here.

  • Pne Fair Opens August 21St
    PNE FAIR OPENS AUGUST 21ST FAIR SUPPORTS LOCAL MUSICIANS IN ITS 2021 LINEUP For Immediate release August 5, 2021 Vancouver, BC: The annual PNE Fair will open its gates for the 111th time on August 21st, and while the footprint is a bit smaller and mostly outdoor, all your Fair favourites will be available to enjoy, including live music. “One of the most common questions we are receiving is whether or not we will have a concert series” says President and CEO Shelley Frost. “We will definitely be having live music; it will just look a little different this year. We will not have large, seated concerts in the usual Amphitheatre, but we will have a concert stage in the Revel District with music from local BC Artists throughout the day for all guests to enjoy at no cost”. The PNE has a proud of a tradition of supporting BC talent across all aspects of its programming, a mandate that never been more important than as the creative sector struggles to emerge from the effects of the COVID pandemic. “The history of music at the Fair goes back to the very beginning in 1910, and remains at the heart of our programming today,” says PNE Creative Director Patrick Roberge. “From the biggest names in music history to up and coming local artists, the PNE has a proud tradition of providing a stage to the creative sector. In 2021, when artists from across British Columbia and Canada have been devastated by the inability to perform live throughout the COVID pandemic, we committed to supporting these local performers at this year’s Fair.” In order to create the safest environment for Fairgoers, the PNE Fair will not have a paid seated venue set up for music this year but rather will have a stage in the Revel District programmed all day long and Fairgoers can grab food or beverage and sit in a festival style, distanced location of their choice to take in fantastic BC performances.
