Song of the Day: March 23, 2018 - "Montreal" by David Beckingham

I'd suggest watching David Beckingham's new video for "Montreal" when you're in a positive mood about the city of Vancouver...(say, when it's full of musicians and events and JUNO fun).

The song is all about seeing negatives in things, specifically things like the rain, and people not looking each other in the eye in this city of ours. 

David's taking the show on the road with a tour across Canada, several stops being accompanied by Twin Bandit, including the tour closer here in Vancouver at the Fox on June 2nd.

3am Playlist #40 - Khatsahlano 2016 Preview

Two more sleeps until Khatsahlano!
Everyone do the opposite of a rain dance. How about a: warm-but-overcast-day dance because every year it seems to be amazingly sunny and hot, but at this point I'll take a happy medium between the two!

In either case, there is going to be some amazing live music, from some local and Canadian musicians, and we've got a bit of a preview in today's playlist above.

The schedule is below, so give it a look and make some hard decisions because Burrard and Macdonald are far apart and there are awesome musicians at either end!

Song of the Day: May 19, 2016 - "Soldier" by David Beckingham

David Beckingham (one third of Hey Ocean!) is gearing up for the release of his first solo album, and he's giving us another taste of that it will sound like. 

In a new video for "Soldier", Beckingham & his backing band perform live-off-the-floor in the Alsco Linen building, as his voice trembles over the swell of strings. 

"Just When The Light" is out May 27th, and he'll be playing around Vancouver in July -- at Khatsahlano and Hiatus festivals, and in Victoria in August. 

Song of the Day: March 31, 2016 - "Forest" by David Beckingham

Yesterday I posted the latest song from Hey Ocean's David Vertesi, and now we get to hear from his bandmate David Beckingham, with the first single off his upcoming solo album, Just When The Light.

According to the press release, the album "chronicles an intense and personal time leading up to and following the hiatus of Hey Ocean, and the demise of a long-term relationship."

The first single "Forest" features guest vocals from the third Hey Ocean member Ashleigh Ball, and you can pick up the full album May 22nd.
