Want to hear an orchestra that combines various instruments as music?

Today I would like to bring you Viper Central, originally brought together by a shared love of bluegrass and vintage repertoire, along with more contemporary acoustic innovators like David Grisman, Béla Fleck and Gillian Welch. They were formed in 2006 by a group of musicians who met at the Pacific Bluegrass Heritage Society, discovered an overwhelming chemistry, and formed a band. Drawing inspiration from their diverse backgrounds; musical theatre, classical, jazz, punk and Brazilian music, they began to share songs and stories about their lives and places where they lived. Together they rocked the BC bluegrass music scene in their 20s, leaving everyone fascinated by their unique sound. They have earned a reputation as an excellent bluegrass band at festivals in Western Canada.

In 2009, after a successful tour of Western Canada and Europe (France, Italy, and the famous Willisau bluegrass festival in Switzerland), Viper Central went on to release “Live at the Street Church”, adding more of them to their music. life experience. Popular gospel material. It’s made up of traditional and original gospel songs. Part of what makes Viper Central special is the members’ ability to balance original songwriting and aural twists with traditional genres. The balancing act is rooted in the members’ attitudes toward music. For example, while mandolin player Mark Vaughan is described as a true student of bluegrass, members such as Charles and dobro player Tim Tweedale join the jazz background.

Now they will perform again in Vancouver on June 20 this year. I am looking forward to listening to their wonderful singing and experiencing the artistic conception in the lyrics. The best thing is to close eyes and enjoy the music composed of various instruments intertwined by ears and feels the wonderful moment.
