Then & Now IV: October 28th at Wise Hall.

Well this is exciting: 3am Revelations is presenting our very first show!

Then & Now is a fundraiser for Megaphone Magazine where a collection of Vancouver musicians gather to play a couple acoustic songs; a "then" song from their past, and a brand spanking new "now" song. In past years people have performed songs written in high school, and songs that have changed the very course of their career (it was after performing at the second Then & Now that Savannah Wellman got the spark to change from the folky Redbird to the "sex-rock" Savvie). 

For three years, the show was put together by Devon Lougheed (beekeeper, Altered by Mom, like 8 other bands) but he bailed off to Toronto, so along with Leigh Eldridge, Christine and I have picked up the torch. And this year is going to be so much fun. Aside from a diverse lineup, we will have door prizes & a photobooth, and with a Billboard 100 theme, we're encouraging people to dress inspired by the song that was #1 on the day they were born. 

So without further ado, I bring you the 2015 Then & Now lineup!

And here is the link to the Facebook event page - post your #1 hit song from your birthday (click here to figure that out) and what you're going to wear!

See you there!
