Hailing from Vancouver, BC, Cousin Harley delivers a dynamic blend of rockabilly, swing, and hillbilly charm in every show. For 20 years, this trio has captivated international audiences with their electrifying performances, earning the nickname “Motorhead of Rockabilly” for their high-energy style.

His diverse range across genres is remarkable, leaving fans to wonder why he isn’t a household name. Explore the world of Cousin Harley, Boxcar Campfire, and Paul Pigat for an unforgettable experience.

PWRUP is a Canadian tribute act embodying AC/DC’s rock n’ roll greatness. Since 2019, they’ve delivered authentic performances that capture the essence of AC/DC’s 70s and 80s sound. Catering to fans, PWRUP performs a range of hits from early classics to recent favorites. Vocalist John Kairis channels both Bon Scott’s charisma and Brian Johnson’s power, while lead guitarist Colin Wielenga electrifies as Angus Young. The rhythm section—bassist Tom Roche, rhythm guitarist Tim Wielenga, and drummer Ray A—provides a solid foundation. Known for their high-energy shows and precise detail, PWRUP offers an unforgettable AC/DC experience that keeps fans rocking all night.

Join Cory Weeds and his quartet for the launch of a new jazz series at The Brackendale Art Gallery. They’ll honor the legendary Canadian saxophonist Fraser MacPherson by performing some of his favorite tunes. This past April, Weeds' Cellar Music Group released "Fraser MacPherson: I Don't Have To Go Anywhere, I'm Already Here" by Guy MacPherson, Fraser’s son. The book offers an intimate portrait of MacPherson and explores Vancouver's golden age of nightlife, when musicians could thrive locally.

The BAG’s kitchen and bar will open at 5:30 for dinner before the show. Seating will be theatre-style, with chairs and tables available. For more details, visit Cory Weeds.
