Event Description

Late Show 8:30 PM:
BRIAN DUNN
DAVE PHILLIPS
BEN ARSENAULT

Three songwriters from across the nation will rally at Vancouvers historic Railway club on July 29th for a midsummer folk spectacular. Together this lineup of up and coming acts will introduce a few pages from the next chapter of the great Canadian folk tradition.
Brian Dunn began touring Canada 6 years ago with his band of alt country pioneers November Allstars. Having recently finished his first full length debut Examining The Fallout on Cosmic Daves Records, Brian is making his way across the country one more time to celebrate its release from coast to coast.

Vancouver born singer/songwriter Dave Phillips has cut his teeth in pubs all over Britain and Ireland over the last few years. After his first foray into the British folk scene Phillips began his unlikely partnership with veteran producer Ben Mink. Two years and countless gigs later, the two are finally set to release some of their best work yet.
Few could guess from his songs alone whether Ben Arsenault offers something very old or something refreshingly new. Montreals witty raconteur sings tongue in cheek western ballads that feel familiar while achieving a deeper resonance than ever before. The young writer is back on the west coast to share his unique cocktail of poetic insight and unforgettable humor.
Doors: 8:30, admission: $8
