Virtual Gigs Of The Week - May 15 - May 21, 2020

May 15, 2020 by Christine McAvoy in Gigs Of The Week

We usually would be bringing you some of our picks for concerts to attend in Vancouver this upcoming weekend/week - but since we’re all social distancing (YOU GET IN THAT APARTMENT!), we figured we’d bring you a list of virtual concerts instead.

This list is going to be updated every time we find a new one we thing fits our style, feel free to leave a comment or message us if you know of one that isn’t listed!

Stay safe and wash your hands…
