With the pandemic restrictions slowly lifting, we can all be a little relieved that concerts are coming back!
Live Nation has announced three concerts for Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom this winter to get us back rockin’ together instead of through a screen.
On February 5, Canadian rockers, the Trews, will be energizing the Ballroom with their lively performance. The band is made up of vocalist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek and drummer Chris Gormley. Three of their albums have hit gold while they were also recognized to be among the top 150 best- selling Canadian artists and the top 40 selling Canadian bands in Canada.

To follow that up on Febuarary 23, American pop-star, JoJo, will be on stage at The Commordore performing songs from her latest album, Trying Not To Think About It. And credit must be given where credit is due. Since her first hit was released in 2005 when she was only 14, she’s been making quality music and keeps evolving her sound.

The third performance that was announced was the power-metal rock band, Dragonforce. And good thing there the last ones because there might not be a Commodore after these guys’ guitars and drums are done with it. If heavy-metal is a bit of a turn-off for you, think again. Yes, it’s heavy, but they carry beautiful melodies and rhythyms while vocalist, Marc Hudson, carries a distinct voice that counterbalances, yet compliments, the power of the chords and the drums.

It’s been like forever since most of us have seen a live show, so even if these may not be your cup of tea, I challenge you to take a sip. Listen to these artists and I promise you, you will enjoy at least one of them. Let the music carry your mind and take you to a different place because that’s what this art form was meant to do. And it’s always better live babayy!
