Hosted by Ryan Steele and Symone, the stage will feature Vancouver DJ Skylar Love, and performances by IIona, South East, Maiden China, Cleopatra Compton, Rose Butch, and Shanel.
HUMANS is a Canadian indie-electronic duo made up of musicians Robbie Slade and Peter Ricq. With a focus on performance and production styles, the team creates sounds that audiophiles will appreciate.
Following their gig dates in Seattle and Edmonton, I M U R arrives in Vancouver to play THRIVE. The Electronic/Experimental R&B/Soul band features Jenny Lea on vocals and keys, Mikey J Blige on electric guitar and production, and Amine Bouzaher on electric violin and bass. The Vancouver band has a 90’s sound influence with bits of hip hop, and soul. I M U R (I am you are) released “Slow Dive” in August of 2015, garnering acclaim from Vancouver’s underground music scene. A top act to keep an eye on!
Hailing from Vancouver, Desiree Dawson has a warm smile and soulful voice, winning the 2016 CBC Searchlight Competition, her skills on the ukulele are remarkable.
