De Temps Antan at St. James Hall, Vancouver BC, 11/8/2014
De Temps Antan rock the hell out of St. James Hall in Vancouver, BC, on November the 8th, 2014! In which the shenanigans feature feedback loops between the fiddler and the guitarist, mammoths tapdancing on my spouse’s head, and a nonzero number of musicians who didn’t escape unhugged!

A belated concert report for the Sean McCann show at the Railway in Vancouver on October 3rd!

De Temps Antan in Qualicum Beach, BC 8-2-2014
In which I get up on Saturday morning at the ridiculous hour of 4:30am to spend most of the weekend zooming up to Canada and back–but for the trifecta of AWESOME that was an André Brunet workshop, a house concert, and a session, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! SWING!

Victoria/Cumberland 2014 Trip, Day 4: Le Vent du Nord at the Cumberland Hotel, 3/11/2014
Long-overdue concert report on Le Vent du Nord in Cumberland, 3/11/2014! In which all parties involved have a delightful evening, in which there is Actual Photographic Evidence that Simon can smile on stage, and in which I learn directly from Olo that my mammoth is a podorythmie protégé!

De Temps Antan at the Rogue in Vancouver BC, 3/2/2014
In which Dara and I raid the Rogue in Vancouver for our post-Festival-du-Bois De Temps Antan concert–and bring friends with us! Because De Temps Antan is too awesome NOT TO SHARE.

Harrison Hot Springs BC July 2013 trip, Day 3: De Temps Antan, Round 2
In which our heroine and supervillain hike around the lake, in which the mammoth makes a break for it (but is thankfully recovered!), in which the festival suffers an accident (which we do not see), and in which perfectly ridiculous amounts of fun are had seeing De Temps Antan–and then getting pics with them afterwards!…

Harrison Hot Springs BC July 2013 trip, Day 2: De Temps Antan, Round 1
In which our heroine and her supervillain spend their first full day in Harrison on beach exploration, music played and music watched, and lake wading! And in which De Temps Antan rocks the afternoon with sunglasses and a bouzouki that can goddamn roar!

Le Vent du Nord at Hermann's Jazz Club, Victoria BC, 4/6/2013
I made absolutely no secret of how crushed I was, Internets, when I missed Le Vent du Nord’s Oregon show this past November. And I was quite disappointed as well when the symphony show in Vancouver was cancelled. But tonight, I am thrilled to report that the show at Hermann’s Jazz Club in Victoria, BC,…

Alan Doyle kills me DED FROM SWOON, 5/22/2012
Those Francophone boys I’ve fallen in love with these past many months may have been heavily distracting me, but I’m tellin’ ya, people, when it comes to downright ability to take me right out at the knees, The Doyle Himself is still unparalleled. I still prefer him in the company of Great Big Sea, just…

Le Vent du Nord at St. James Hall in Vancouver, 3/1/2012
As you know, O Internets, I was extremely eager for my first Le Vent Du Nord show. I’ve been getting ridiculous amounts of glee out of listening to their albums and watching their YouTube videos, and of course, I had the challenge laid down by fellow Le Vent fan Susan that in her considered opinion,…
