Just a rainy update...

Hasn't rained in the Okanagan like this for a while... and because I don't live at the coast I'm allowed to say that when it rains this heavily, I actually quite like it!  So lots of round-the-house-jobs today and looking at old photos of musical days gone by...loads of fun! 
Last reminder about the cool Laurell concert at the VCAFE location starting at 3:30pm (yes - 3:30) tomorrow, Sunday. Admission is $15 but includes a copy of Laurell's new EP. Laurell plus bass + drums. I believe Melissa Yano is opening..
I mentioned the songwriting session that Jane Eamon will be hosting on November 21st - I'm really looking forward to that and I'm happy to announce that we're going to follow it with another songwriting day with Norm Strauss on February 27th.  I'm hoping that out of these days we will have the embryo of a songwriters group in Vernon. Nothing like creative stimulation from like minded people. The songwriting days are set at $15 each. Please get in touch for more information and to register.
I'm singin' in the rain.....da da da da da da da ....

Upcoming stuff...

Well, Thanksgiving is over already and the colder weather makes it feel like winter is here even though fall only just got going a week or two ago! The colder, darker nights make it all the more a good reason to take in some good music at the various locations around the area. This Sunday afternoon at the VCAFE venue, upcoming singer songwriter Laurell will play a CD release show. Start time is at 3:30pm at the Vernon Christian Fellowship building. At this moment I'm not sure of the admission cost but I'll post it as soon as I know.  It's short notice but tomorrow night Andrew and Zachari Smith play at the Minstrel in Kelowna with Dave Moore playing bass.  November 5th we're looking forward to seeing David Essig in a house concert in Kelowna - seats are like gold - only 20 available!!!!
Advance notice about a VCAFE spin off event on Saturday November 21st at the VCAFE venue.  This will be a songwriting hands-on workshop hosted by Jane Eamon, songwriter extraordinaire, and to which all are welcome. Tickets are $15 for the day and will feature instruction, writing, playing and fun.  Please contact Bob at 250 558 4591 to register for this event.
Back to VCAFE - as soon as possible we'll have a feature video of a song from the ASH set at last week's VCAFE - pop back here in a few days!

Welcome

We've set up this blog to try to regularly capture the essence of what VCAFE is about. As well as comments in both preview and review of our monthly evenings across the fall, winter and early spring, we might get into talking about music in general, singer/songwriters, the art of the songwriter etc, etc. Feel free to jump into the chat and give your two bits worth if you want!
