Green Tara and the Front at Backstage Lounge

Feb 28

By Catherine Barr

 

Granville Island's Backstage Lounge is a favourite hidden haven for live music. This past weekend, the line-up stretched around the building for two talented bands who took to the stage to promote their new CDs and raise awareness for Canadian music. "GreenTaRA" and "The Front" both have a great groove and filled the room with their versions of funk and hip-hop and a whole lot of soul. Gotta like it.


Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
