Keys To The Streets - Video #5 ft Scarlett Jane "We All Just Wanna Be Loved"

For the second year Big Smoke has teamed up with Keys To The Streets to film musicians performing intimate concerts on the public pianos located throughout the city.

The latest video, their fifth, features Toronto's folk/noir duo Scarlett Jane on the piano at theVancouver Folk Music Festival! 

To see where all the pianos are located, click here. To see the archive of all the performances from this year and last, click here.

Here's what Adam Sharp of Big Smoke has to say about this video:
Part of the charm of these 'run 'n' gun' videos we're putting together is the unavoidable presence of ambient noise, which in the case of this video included the finalé of a Vancouver Folk Fest Stage 3 set from just around the corner of where we were filming. Nevertheless, Andrea and Cindy of Scarlett Jane were so professional as they performed for us this beautiful, stripped down version of their new single, “We All Just Wanna Be Loved”.  Enjoy!
