Virtual Gigs Of The Week - June 26 - July 2, 2020

June 26, 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…
*all times in PDT

FRIDAY JUNE 26

Who? Torquil Campbell
Where? Side Door Access
When? 2pm
Why? Stars singer Torquil Campbell brings another solo show, this time with an afternoon show for us out in the west. Hopefully you’re somewhere where you’re not at work while it’s happening…

Who? Adam Baldwin
Where? YouTube
When? 5pm
Why? Adam’s been doing what he’s calling a “Cross Country Chin Up” on a weekly basis! He has raised money for various Nova Scotia charities too - so don’t miss it!

SUNDAY JUNE 28

Who? WOO HOO! Simpsons Trivia Vancouver
Where? TWITCH - Live Stream
When? 1pm
Why? We’re taking our shameless plug to the virtual world for one last (weekly) time. Christine and Kirk will be running the last weekly version of our monthly Simpsons trivia online! But don’t worry, we’ll be switching over to a monthly twitch stream starting in July!

WEDNESDAY JULY 1

Who? Canada Day livestream
Where? The Government
When? All day
Why? The only part Kirk likes about Canada Day is all the free music happening in and around the city that day. And since that’s clearly not happening this year, I guess livestreams will have to do. Tune in for a daytime stream (1pm) & a night time stream (8pm), featuring names like Serena Ryder, Shane Koyczan, Joel Plaskett, Radio Radio, The Sheepdogs, Alanis Morissette, and more!

NEW THINGS YOU CAN WATCH ANYTIME:

Royal Canoe - Glacial documentary & live performance

Said The Whale - Recorded in Gimli, Manitoba in an Ice Garage!
