Hollow Twin is a Vancouver-based band that perfectly blends the introspective style of ’90s singer-songwriters with the warm, rich textures of ’70s rock and folk. Fronted by the captivating vocalist and songwriter Becky Wosk, the band also features Dean Disanjh on drums, Elliott Vernon on guitar, and Levi Bakker on keys. Together, they craft hauntingly beautiful songs that dive deep into personal themes while carrying a classic, timeless feel.

Their live performances are known for striking an incredible balance between raw emotional power and vulnerability, making every show feel intimate even when played to bigger crowds. Whether performing as a duo or with the full band, Hollow Twin’s intricate instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics create an unforgettable experience that sticks with listeners long after the last note.

Fans of moody folk-rock and indie vibes have been drawn to their elegant sound, often comparing them to iconic artists while appreciating their unique flair. Their recent album, Dancing with Matches, showcases their ability to mix booming percussion, confident vocals, and flawless arrangements, making it both a personal and anthemic record.

If you are in Vancouver this Sunday and looking to escape into a night of music that feels like a deep dive into both past and present, Hollow Twin’s early show at Guilt & Company is just what you need. It’s a chance to experience something that’s both a nod to the classics and a step forward in contemporary sound.

What if Vancouver’s rock and roll story started not just with a concert, but with a secret set of recordings hidden away for nearly 70 years? Thanks to local music historian Rob Frith, that’s exactly what’s happening. Frith recently made headlines uncovering an unreleased Beatles demo, but his newest find hits a little closer to home—the very first rock and roll recordings made in Vancouver back in 1956.

These legendary tapes come from none other than Jack Cullen, a Vancouver disc jockey with a giant record collection and a real knack for spotting talent. On April 16, 1956, Cullen recorded Vancouver’s first rock and roll band, Les Vogt and the Prowlers, live in the studio. They were named after Cullen’s popular “Owl Prowl” radio show, which gave them their first break. Fun fact: the band literally got on air while rehearsing—one of the band member’s girlfriends called the station, convincing Cullen to put them on over the phone. The public response was so enthusiastic that Cullen invited them into the studio and cut a live acetate recording of just one track.

Broadcaster and recording engineer Larry Hennessey explains these acetates were soft vinyl discs cut live, often wearing out after repeated playback. He’s been digitally transferring these old tapes and was amazed by the sound quality preserved on the Prowlers’ acetates. Tracks include covers of classic rock hits like “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Tutti Frutti,” and “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” Some of these songs were never released before, giving fans a unique glimpse into Vancouver’s early rock roots.

Cullen wasn’t just about recordings. He promoted the city’s first full rock concert on June 27, 1956, at Kerrisdale Arena, featuring Bill Haley and His Comets—the real kings of early rock n’ roll. Vogt and the Prowlers opened the show, marking a huge moment in local music history. Vogt recalls how much excitement the Haley concert brought, but added with a laugh, “I was totally infatuated with Elvis, and once he came along, Bill Haley was history.”

An interesting quirk of these recordings is the size and play style of the acetates: one was a whopping 16-inch transcription disc that played from the inside out—a rare and fascinating piece of vinyl history.

These discoveries have sparked excitement from local collectors and historians alike and hint at even more treasures waiting to be uncovered. For fans of Canadian rock history, Vancouver’s first rock and roll recordings aren’t just old songs—they’re a time capsule capturing the birth of a music scene that still thrives today.

So next time you crank a classic tune, remember that Vancouver’s rock and roll journey started way back with Les Vogt and the Prowlers—thanks to the savvy ear of a DJ named Jack Cullen, who knew how to tune in to a new musical revolution.

Vancouver, get ready to rock! AC/DC, the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band, is coming back to BC Place on August 13th, 2026, as part of their massive Power Up Tour. After blowing the roof off the same venue last year, the Aussie legends are bringing their signature hard-hitting riffs and electrifying energy for a second round—this time with even more power.

The Power Up album, recorded right here in Vancouver at Warehouse Studios, got some of the best reviews the band has seen in decades. It is a proud nod to history, marking the reunion of all surviving members from the classic Back In Black lineup—think Angus Young on lead guitar, Brian Johnson singing his iconic vocals, bassist Cliff Williams, and drummer Phil Rudd. While the band has evolved, the spirit and raw energy of the original crew is as alive as ever. Fans will also see rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney joining the stage for this leg of the tour.

If you have never experienced an AC/DC concert, picture a two-hour bombshell of classic rock anthems—“Thunderstruck,” “Highway to Hell,” “T.N.T.,” and of course, “Back in Black.” The show is known for larger-than-life visuals, explosive sound, and Angus Young’s legendary schoolboy outfit and wild guitar solos. AC/DC concerts are the kind of events that pull together fans from every generation, from long-time metalheads to first-timers ready to jump in the pit.

AC/DC is not just about Vancouver—they are hitting some of Canada’s biggest cities on this tour including Edmonton on August 9th, Montreal on September 12th, and Toronto on September 16th. Vancouver is lucky to snag the summer slot at BC Place, one of the city’s prime entertainment venues, perfect for this high-voltage rock experience.

Tickets went on sale November 7th at 10 a.m. via LiveNation, so if you are hoping to score a spot, now is the time to act fast. Doors usually open about 90 minutes before showtime, so plan to arrive early to soak in the atmosphere and maybe catch some awesome merch.

Whether you are a diehard fan or just looking for a legendary night out in Vancouver, AC/DC’s Power Up Tour will shake the city and rock your summer. Get ready to bang your head and scream along—this is rock ‘n’ roll glory in action!

Tonight’s the night, Vancouver! Rock legend Robert Plant is bringing his new band, Saving Grace feat. Suzi Dian, to the Vogue Theatre for what promises to be an unforgettable show. Fresh off the release of their self-titled debut album on Nonesuch Records last month, this is your chance to catch one of the most iconic voices in rock history performing alongside a group of remarkable musicians in an intimate venue setting.

Plant’s collaboration with Saving Grace started casually in 2019, after meeting some talented local musicians at his area pub. What began as jam sessions bloomed into a fully fledged band with a unique sound that blends folk, psychedelic rock, gospel, and more. Their recent album features thoughtful covers like the African American spiritual “Gospel Plough” and indie lo-fi group Low’s “Everybody’s Song,” alongside fresh takes on classics including Donovan’s “Chevrolet” (originally “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)”) with deep roots tracing back to 1930s Delta blues legends. This mix of old and new perfectly frames Plant’s continued evolution as an artist exploring fresh musical landscapes while honouring timeless traditions.

Expect the setlist to include gems from the Saving Grace album, sprinkled with some unforgettable Led Zeppelin favourites. After a sold-out tour with Alison Krauss last year, Plant and Saving Grace are ready to light up Vancouver once again, blending Plant’s legendary voice with the soulful vocals of Suzi Dian, the tight riffs of guitarist Tony Kelsey, Oli Jefferson’s steady drumming, and the intricate strings from Matt Worley and Barney Morse-Brown.

Opening the night is Texas roots rocker Rosie Flores, whose energetic style is the perfect warm-up for the main event. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show kicking off at 7:30 p.m. at the Vogue Theatre, located at 918 Granville Street.

If you missed the initial ticket sale, don’t fret—the show is sold out, but you can still find tickets through resellers or join the waiting list at AdmitOne.com. This will be the band’s only Canadian stop after a show at Toronto’s Massey Hall, making the Vancouver performance all the more special.

Whether you’re a diehard Plant fan or just eager to experience a night combining old-school rock magic with fresh, genre-blending vibes, tonight’s show at the Vogue Theatre is a must-see. Prepare for a soulful journey through decades of music history wrapped in vibrant new sounds that only Robert Plant and Saving Grace can deliver.

Turn up your volume, bring your energy, and get ready to witness a rock legend still pushing musical boundaries—tonight in Vancouver.

Metal heads of Vancouver, clear your calendars for April 1, 2026—because heavy metal legends Lamb of God are coming to town, and things are about to get seriously loud. These Virginia-based riff masters just dropped their latest single “Sepsis,” their first new material since Omens in 2022, and fans are already chomping at the bit to hear it live.

Lead guitarist Mark Morton isn’t holding back on the hype. He called the upcoming tour the “loudest, proudest, floor shakin’-est, earth quakin’-est, ear-splittin’-est, mosh pittin’-est” metal event of the year. And if that doesn’t get your head banging, what will? This is a lineup packed with riffs so powerful they could probably raise the dead—or at least start a mosh pit big enough to shake the PNE Forum, where the Vancouver show will be held.​

Lamb of God’s been rocking stages worldwide for over two decades, selling more than 2.5 million albums globally and tallying multiple Grammy nominations. Their latest album Omens was released via Germany’s Nuclear Blast label and proved the Virginia crew is still a force to be reckoned with on the metal scene. From opening for Metallica to headlining their own shows, their Vancouver gigs have always packed venues with fans eager for brutal breakdowns and intense energy.​

The local leg of the tour promises a night to remember, starting at 7 p.m., and tickets go on sale November 21 at 10 a.m.—so don’t wait if you want in. Openers for the tour include Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg, bringing their own heavy-hitting sounds to set the stage on fire before the headliners take command. It’s safe to say this isn’t just a concert; it’s a metal extravaganza.​

If you’re new to Lamb of God, expect thrashing guitars, skull-crushing rhythms, and the unmistakable growl of Randy Blythe’s vocals. Their live show is famous for creating an insane energy that pulls together old-school metalheads, new fans, and anyone ready to embrace the chaos. Vancouver is in for one earth-shattering night that’ll leave you breathless but craving more.​

Beyond Vancouver, the band kicks off their Canadian run with a March 19 show at Montreal’s Bell Centre before bringing the heavy down west in April. This tour is undoubtedly one of the year’s most anticipated, so whether you’re a longtime fan or just metal-curious, mark your calendars and prepare to mosh with the best.​

Get your tickets early and lock in your spot for Lamb of God’s Vancouver destruction party. Remember: metal waits for no one—and neither should you.

Get ready, Vancouver! Ruby Singh, the city’s boundary-breaking composer and performer, is launching his latest album, Celestial Libations, and it’s not your typical listen. Premiering at the cutting-edge LOBE Studios on November 21 and 22, this album takes listeners on a cosmic ride through blues, gospel, and experimental soundscapes—crafted to open your ears and soul to new dimensions.

If you think music has to fit neatly into one category, Singh is here to prove otherwise. His work defies easy labels; it’s part spiritual journey, part experimental adventure. His vocal group, Ruby Singh’s Vox Infold, won Spiritual Artist of the Year at the 2025 Western Canadian Music Awards for their album Vox.Infold II—a nod to his powerful, boundary-pushing style. Singh says the award surprised him a bit, but it made perfect sense since his work explores bigger questions about existence and spirit beyond what meets the eye and ear.​

Singh’s career spans multiple styles and projects. In 2024, he scooped the Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year WCMA with Polyphonic Garden Suite II, an innovative blend of electronic sounds made from the hidden “music” of plants, animals, fungi, and environmental field recordings. Now, Celestial Libations brings a new energy with his group the Future Ancestors, featuring a stellar lineup including award-winning novelist and performance poet Arthur Flowers, Juno winner Khari Wendell McClelland, and revered musicians on oud, guitar, and percussion.​

The album feels like a modern gospel, with storytelling deeply rooted in history and culture. Flowers’ poetic narratives, like in “Brer Rabbit and Sister Beetle,” reconnect listeners to ancestral African storytelling traditions, far removed from the watered-down versions familiar to many. The album journeys through mystical stories and hard truths, such as the biting social commentary in “When the Hammer Falls,” reflecting on today’s struggles with inequality and oppression.​

Singh’s work blends art and activism, reminding us of the power of music and poetry to both entertain and provoke thought. The album launch at LOBE Studios offers an immersive experience fitting for such a rich sonic tapestry, with limited tickets for true music adventurers. Plus, Singh pairs Celestial Libations with a poetry book, Bladed Edge, diving into personal ancestry and migration stories—showing his creative versatility.​

Looking to 2026, Ruby Singh and the Future Ancestors will tour Celestial Libations, spreading their powerful message across the country. For local fans and music explorers alike, Singh’s work is a masterclass in how music can transcend boundaries and bring people together in unexpected ways.

Now, if you want to hear what the future of music sounds like—with heart, history, and a whole lot of soul—Ruby Singh’s Celestial Libations is an essential listen this season.

If you’re anywhere near Vancouver this November and you’re a fan of raw, energetic punk rock, listen up! Toronto’s Pup is coming to town with three electrifying shows to celebrate their latest album, Who Will Look After the Dogs? Released this past May, the album is a fiery mix of post-hardcore and noise rock that proves Pup is anything but “pathetic use of potential,” the name behind their quirky band acronym.

The band’s live energy has been their secret weapon since their debut in 2012. This November, the fans get three chances to catch them: an all-ages show with BC’s dynamic Juno-winning Indigenous rap duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids on November 24 at The Pearl, followed by two back-to-back headline nights on the 25th and 26th at the iconic Commodore Ballroom. If you love immersive live rock that brings together punks, hipsters, and music lovers of all kinds, Pup’s the show to catch.

Frontman Stefan Babcock shared what the new album’s title means to him—taken from the first lyric written for the track “Hallways,” the title is both funny and heartbreaking, capturing the band’s signature mix of the dark and playful. One of Pup’s standout tracks, “Olive Garden,” started as a simple acoustic idea from Babcock but evolved into a heavy, grindy rock anthem thanks to drummer Zack Mykula’s push. The result? “Kinda upsetting and uncomfortable but also catchy and fun,” as Babcock describes it. That’s classic Pup right there: beautiful chaos that somehow feels like a friend yelling at you to dance.

Babcock also gave insight into the band’s continuing drive: after years of touring worldwide and playing massive festivals like Lollapalooza and Vans Warped Tour, the group switched producers for this album to shake things up. Working with John Congleton, known for his dark humour and instinctive approach, Pup pushed themselves into new creative territory.

But the magic really happens live. As Babcock puts it: “If you like the records, the live show is for you. We’re a very high energy, very real and really fun band that brings in young freaks, old school punks and hipsters who all leave feeling connected no matter how different they are.” For Vancouverites, this is a chance to experience that connection firsthand and celebrate one of Canada’s most exciting punk bands as they tear up the stage.

You’ll want to mark your calendars and get ready to howl—Pup’s Vancouver shows this November promise to be loud, chaotic, and unforgettable. Who will look after the dogs? Maybe you, if you make it to the show.

Even with the spotlight from the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony fading, the energy and excitement from the “Légendes” series in Montréal is just getting started—and this event is sure to echo through Canada’s music culture all year long! On November 17, 2025, the Studio Cabaret at Espace St-Denis transformed into ground zero for celebrating the songwriters, storytellers, and musical trailblazers whose work has defined generations. If you missed it, here’s why this celebration is about so much more than music—it’s a shout-out to the heart and soul of what makes Canadian sound unique.​

Every year, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame rounds up some of the best and brightest, honouring creators who’ve left a serious mark—far beyond our borders. This edition featured a lineup of legends: Michel Pagliaro, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Florent Vollant, and François Cousineau. Between heartfelt speeches, star-studded tribute videos (hello Tom Cochrane and Jimmy Fallon!), and live performances ranging from classic anthems to modern indie hits, the night captured the true spirit of what songwriting means in Canada: connection, creativity, and community.​

Why does it matter? Canadian songwriters aren’t only shaping playlists—they’re shaping culture. This Hall of Fame isn’t just a trophy cabinet. It’s a movement dedicated to telling the stories behind favourite tracks, giving credit to the voices who often work behind the scenes. Whether it’s Pagliaro’s gritty rock classics, the McGarrigle sisters’ timeless harmonies, Cousineau’s sweeping ballads, or Vollant’s bridge-building through Indigenous language and sound, these artists prove that songs can build identity and bring people together.​

And here’s a fun fact for everyone cheering from BC: Many of Canada’s most celebrated songwriters have west coast roots or influences, showing that the Lower Mainland’s music DNA runs deep—even in national moments like this. Vancouver indie fans, you’re part of a legacy every time you stream a homegrown track, catch a band at The Commodore, or share local lyrics on social. Evolution 107.9’s playlists aren’t just about what’s new—they’re a shout-out to the tradition these “Légendes” built, with that same Canadian energy running through every riff.​

Looking ahead, the Hall of Fame is stepping up its game for future creators too. New initiatives, mentorship, and even songwriter grants mean more support for the next wave. If you’re writing songs in your bedroom or busking on Granville, there’s a place for your voice in this ongoing story. Because every anthem, folk tune, rock banger, and heartfelt ballad has started with a creator who believed Canadian music could matter—not just here, but everywhere.​

In the end, while the confetti might be swept up at Espace St-Denis, this celebration doesn’t stop. Pull up your favourite McGarrigle album. Queue Pagliaro’s hits. Or better yet—head out to a local show, support rising songwriters, and be part of the story. Because every day can be a songwriter celebration if you want it to be, and those legends? They’re proof that Canadian music is always worth turning up loud.
