  • Michael Buble in Vancouver

    I am a huge fan of MartiniInTheMorning.com radio out of California. Having recently become “friends” with the station’s main man, Brad “Martini” Chamber, I was only to happy to throw Michael Buble a question about the station and the new era of digital music at a recent press conference.

    As you will see from the video, Michael is also a big fan of the station and of digital music. He even tells how his grandfather is downloading music off of iTunes now. Michael also shares his favourite “crooner” songs to sing.

    Michael held a press conference in Vancouver, BC, on Jun 18, 2014 to help celebrate the kick-off of his latest tour.

  • Pandora’s Vox and Espiritu Vocal Christmas

    I’ve been a HUGE fan of the lovely ladies of West Vancouver’s Pandora’s Vox for close to 15 years now and I can’t say enough. Performing this past week at the Kay Meek Centre in “Gifted” with their partner vocal ensemble Espiritu, the group has grown into one of the most entertaining and professional choir organizations in the country. From impressive pieces like “Lux Aurumque” (my fave) to silly seasonal songs like “Fruitcake”, this group never fails to deliver. Choir leader Gillian Hunt, who also thrilled audiences with her special rendition of “Little Drummer Boy”, was honoured in a surprise presentation by the members who, without her knowledge, nominated her for the BC Choral Federation’s prestigious Amy Ferguson Award. Hunt was presented with the award during the Friday show. (more…)
