Brass Camel
Vancouver’s Brass Camel is a rock band that defies labels, fusing deep-pocket funk, face-melting prog, and massive-harmony art rock. Their musicianship and work ethic have earned endorsements from Sabian, Rotosound UK, and Vater, and since releasing their debut album Brass in 2022 they’ve played over 150 shows, including four national Canadian tours, major festivals (Between the Peaks, Starbelly Jam, Wapiti), and stages like Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, Vogue Theatre, and a Toronto headliner at the historic Longboat Hall. In 2024, their cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please on Musora’s Covers Challenge took off on YouTube, drawing over 700,000 views. Their sophomore album Camel (spring 2024) brought international press, reaction videos, and steady LP sales. While touring in 2025, the band recorded their third LP at Uxbridge’s pastoral Chalet Studio with Kevin Comeau of Crown Lands co-producing. Mixed by the legendary Terry Brown (Rush, Hendrix, The Who, Blue Rodeo), the upcoming spring 2026 release marks a bold leap in songwriting, distilling Brass Camel’s road-forged sound into something entirely their own.

Chopping Spree
Chopping Spree is a jazz fusion/experimental band that delves into the groovy, energetic world of jazz rock. They blend elements of Japanese jazz, funk, and psychedelia, with the explosive energy of Vancouver’s underground hard rock scene. Sometimes smooth jazz, sometimes metal, Chopping Spree is a sight to see with their wild stage presence and captivating riffs. Taking influence from the likes of Casiopea, SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, their unique style creates a soundscape of hypnotic proportions.

About the Film: Bill Frisell: A Portrait (Emma Franz, Australia, 2017, 114 min)
A character portrait of anti-archetype guitar hero, Bill Frisell, this nuanced film traces the ideas and processes that shaped Frisell’s music, and provides rare insight into the mind and personality of one of the significant musicians of recent decades. Full of live music, revealing stories, and intimate access to the normally reclusive Frisell, various collaborations are followed from development to fruition, including the last ever performance of the Paul Motian Trio with Frisell and Joe Lovano. Interviewees include Paul Motion, Bonnie Raitt, Hal Willner, Paul Simon, Nels Cline
Bill Frisell plays the guitar like Miles Davis played the trumpet: in the hands of such radical thinkers, their instruments simply become different animals.
The New Yorker
One of the most compelling, entertaining and informative films made about a living music legend who still has plenty left to say.

Since 2017, cherished elder Mississippi blues man Jimmy “Duck” Holmes has been mentoring Farr in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues. He’s also learned directly from Mississippi Bluesmen RL Boyce & Terry Harmonica Bean. In 2019 Farr was nominated for New Artist of the Year & Songwriter of the Year by Canada’s prestigious Maple Blues Awards for his album Dirty South Blues (Prod. Leeroy Stagger).

About the Film: I Am the Blues (Daniel Cross, Canada, 2016) 106 min.
A musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and Moonshine soaked BBQs in the North Mississippi Hill Country. Visiting the last original blues devils, many in their 80s, still living in the deep south, working without management and touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Lazy Lester, Bilbo Walker, RL Boyce, Jimmy ’Duck’ Holmes, Lil Buck Sinegal, LC Ulmer and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.
I was quietly blown away by Daniel Cross’s new documentary I Am the Blues… There is something miraculous in this patient little film, which lends an ear to weathered old musicians, going about their lives in the backwaters of the Louisiana Bayou and the Mississippi Delta. The director leaves ample room for the music, and it will take your breath away. I Am the Blues seeks and finds incredible artists who have been overlooked or forgotten, and gives them their due before they’re gone.
T’Cha Dunlevy, Montreal Gazette
A lovely film, made with a light, respectful touch. For aficionados, this is a must see. For those who at least like the blues, it’s also highly recommendable.
