Rich Hope - I See Trouble

Rich Hope is one of Vancouver’s most talented guitarists. Rich’s music is a bit blues tinged but also comes in a country flavour every once in a while. A little trouble came his way during the filming of his latest music video.

Peak Performance Project Grand Finale Concert

The 2010 Peak Performance Project wrapped up this week with a grand finale showcase at Vancouver’s always beautiful Commodore Ballroom featuring the top three artists in the competition: Vince Vacarro, Said the Whale and Kyprios

Kyprios took home the top honours winning $100,500 to put towards his music career. Said the Whale took second winning $75,000 and Vince Vacarro took home the $50,000 third prize.

The Peak Performance prize is one of the richest music contests of its kind, and in its short history has become a key part of the development of young musical talent in British Columbia.

A more complete gallery of photos is on Flickr.

Kurt Vile Live at Zulu Records

Philadelphia based Matador Records recording artist Kurt Vile was in town for a gig at the legendary Biltmore Cabaret. Before the show he stopped by Kitsilano’s Zulu Records for a solo acoustic performance. I stopped by to shoot photos and caught video of three songs of Kurt’s set. The full photo set is available on Flickr.
