The last few weeks!

It's been a couple of weeks - for various reasons that we won't bore you with!  Suffice it to say another VCAFE has happened and it was really successful with Corey Doak headlining the evening. Not only is Corey an accomplished songwriter, but he is a wickedly funny guy who's sense of humour takes him off into realms of the unknown resulting in some very funny stories and songs. Who'd have thought someone could write a hip hop song about Yo Yo Ma ?
So earlier this week the team were in the audience for the David Essig house concert at Jane Eamon's house in Kelowna. Never seen David Essig play before but it was well worth the evening jaunt down to Kelowna to be there. Essig's worn country/blues voice suited his material perfectly. Using an assortment of tunings he wove his way through an evening of anecdotes and touching songs and it felt very good.
Coming up soon we have a busy few weeks. Firstly, Wednesday Nov 18th we have Greg Sczebel at a special VCAFE concert. Saturday Nov 21st we have a songwriting workshop hosted by Jane Eamon and then Sunday Nov 29th we have a blues evening with Graham Ord, Norm Strauss and David Moore and then the next VCAFE is on Dec 5th. Lots to keep us busy. Hope to see you at the shows!
