Keys To The Streets - Video #3 ft Mother Mother "Worry"

August 20, 2015 by Christine McAvoy in music news, Music Video

For the second year Big Smoke has teamed up with Keys To The Streets to film musicians performing intimate concerts on the public pianos located throughout the city.

The third video has arrived and it's Jasmin and Ryan of Mother Mother performing an unreleased song called "Worry" on the piano under the Cambie St bridge in False Creek!

Here's what Adam Sharp of Big Smoke has to say about this video:
We met up with Jasmin and Ryan on a hot afternoon in July, immediately after the shadow of the Cambie Bridge had moved far enough to soak the piano in the scorching heat of this glorious Vancouver summer.  Between the street art and the spectacular view of the city, this is probably one of my favourite pianos to film, and as a resident of the Cambie Village neighbourhood I’ve come across countless impromptu performances of all shapes and sizes on my sea wall-strolls.

Mother Mother are one of the busier touring acts in the series this year and their professionalism showed as we were treated to a beautiful one-take rendition of ‘Worry’.  The pair wrote this song 8 years ago, although it has never been recorded and only ever played live.  By that token, consider this something of a Keys To The Streets exclusive!

Keys To The Streets - Video #2 ft Melbourne Ska Orchestra "He's A Tripper"

August 12, 2015 by Christine McAvoy in music news, news, Music Video

For the second year Big Smoke has teamed up with Keys To The Streets to film musicians performing intimate concerts on the public pianos located throughout the city.

The second video was just released and showcases the Melbourne Ska Orchestra on the piano inside the Vancouver Folk Music Festival grounds!

To see where all the pianos are located, click here. To see the archive of all the performances from this year and last, click here.

Here's what Adam Sharp of Big Smoke has to say about this video:
This year, Keys To The Streets was able to arrange placing a piano placed inside the Vancouver Folk Music Festival for use by any and all attendees, and with so many incredible artists from around the world scheduled to perform, it seemed like a golden opportunity to film some unique and intimate performances.
On less than a week's notice we were able to arrange filming with a number of the festival’s artists in their brief moments of downtime, and were even fortunate enough to capture a few performances from musical members of the public that we caught tinkering away over the weekend.

The piano, which was beautifully decorated by Ola Volo, brought so many people together for impromptu sing-alongs and candid performances and served as a snapshot of how special this entire Keys To The Streets project can be. Thanks for helping to bring it back for a fourth year, Vancouver! First up from the Folk Fest section of this years Big Smoke x Keys To The Streets video series is the insanely talented, Melbourne Ska Orchestra , who brought a bigger band than I ever thought we’d be able to handle given our minimal recording equipment.
