THE RICKSHAW THEATRE and the Eastside Arts Festival have just announced the programming for their free, outdoor concert at Maclean Park, set to take place July 25.
Amid the Vancouver bands hitting the festivities from 3 to 8 pm, grunge-poppers Buddie hit the stage, while neo-psychedledic Wack bring the dance rhythms.
Elsewhere, Stephen Hamm: Theremin Man, plays his enigmatic instrument while wearing shimmering robes. The musician is an alumnus of such Vancouver bands as Slow, Canned Hamm, and Nardwuar and the Evaporators.
Big Rig, meanwhile, is the solo project of The Courtneys’ Jen Clement, with Geoff Reith on banjo, Dan Forest on bass, and Jay Arner on drums for tunes she’s coined as “coastal cowgirl” and “boot gaze”.
Elsewhere, Vancouver-based DJ and musician Jody Glenham is on hand to spin a mix of indie dance, dark disco, synth-pop, and new wave.
Aside from the music, there will also be a Strange Fellows Brewing beer garden, public art activities, art shops, and food trucks. The Strathcona Business Improvement Association copresents.
Stay tuned for more programming announcements for the sixth annual Eastside Arts Festival, which runs July 17 to 26, with art workshops, more live music, public art activations, and more. ![]()
