Events Calendar

One of Rolling Stone’s top 100 guitarists of all time, Nels Cline (Wilco) is simultaneously why people want to learn guitar, and why they decide that maybe they should just pursue other interests. For Scott Amendola (Bill Frisell, John Scofield), the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. Internationally acclaimed Swedish saxophonist/vocalist/composer Lisen Rylander Löve melds acoustic and electronic sounds to create compelling soundscapes. Cellist Peggy Lee is the rock of Vancouver’s creative music scene. Her spectacular musicality can be heard with a dizzying variety of projects. “If the new improvisational movement means to convey the spirit of jazz without reiterating its stylistic clichés, then Vancouver-based pianist Lisa Miller deserves to be considered one of its leading lights” (The Globe and Mail).
