SUMMARY:5 Nights in Paradise: Dane
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Edmonton\, Dane MacDonald discovered the dance floor at 15 and never looked back. A record shop veteran\, label head (Common Edit)\, and longstanding promoter\, Dane’s influence on Western Canadian house and disco is hard to overstate. His Vancouver party series Dane’s Dance Emporium became a fixture of the city’s underground scene\, earning him a reputation as one of the region’s most trusted tastemakers. \n5 Nights in Paradise is a late-night series at Ocean Artworks on Granville Island\, running across five evenings of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Co-presented by UV\, Paradise Cultural Society\, and Coastal Jazz\, the series brings together some of the most respected selectors and performers from Vancouver’s soulful underground and independent music communities — artists rooted in the city who have spent years shaping its dance floors\, record culture\, and DIY creative scene.

SUMMARY:James Vickers Band
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 2023\, the James Vickers Band has quickly become a standout on Canada’s West Coast blues and roots scene\, known for their high-energy performances\, sharp musicianship\, and guitar-driven songs by their impressive 16-year-old frontman\, James Vickers. \nA fast-rising Indigenous vocalist\, songwriter\, and guitarist of Gitxaala\, Heiltsuk\, Haida\, and British ancestry\, James began performing at age 11. In 2024\, he represented the Fraser Valley Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis\, and became the youngest artist to host the Queen’s Sunday Blues Jam in Nanaimo. But with the 2025 release of their debut album\, Last Goodbye\, the band’s reach is extending well beyond the bounds of British Columbia. James is joined in modern blues-rooted rollicking by guitarist Carson Maertz\, drummer Sara Varro\, and Rick Becker\, a veteran bassist whose five decades in the blues-rock pocket help drive the energetic grooves of his young bandmates. \nPresented in association with Talking Stick Festival.

SUMMARY:Erin Propp
DESCRIPTION:“If you could bottle the purity of Erin’s voice\, singers around the world would line up to drink it” – Tim Tamashiro\, CBC Tonic \nJUNO-nominated\, WCMA-winning singer-songwriter and keyboardist Erin Propp’s 2026 debut album as a band leader is a melody-driven exploration of her jazz\, folk\, and gospel roots. Aptly named The Longing Years\, it finds the Winnipeg-based artist empathically mining lyrical inspiration from the early years of motherhood with a voice that’s equal parts quiet in its acknowledgement of relational struggles\, and passionately impatient in seeking resolve. Co-produced by Joey Landreth (of the Bros. Landreth)\, the record features a jazz trio\, Grammy Award-winning chamber ensemble Attacca Quartet\, and Landreth himself. Live\, she’ll be joined by Julian Bradford bass\, Fabio Ragnelli drums\, and NYC-based guitarist Tristan Clark.
