Good For Grapes
Good For Grapes formed in September of 2010, after a group of friends took a trip to Victoria, BC for some modest busking. Since the moment they stepped onto the ferry, they were an attraction. Drawing unexpected crowds, naturally this young and aspiring band took form; an original and talented five piece group, with an array of harmonizing voices and instruments. Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, this folk / alternative act has been gaining momentum ever since they stepped into the music scene. Their live stage performance in this time has evolved into an incredibly active, folk stomping, and inviting energy; always resulting in an extremely enthusiastic and involved audience. Beginning by supporting charities and foundations, their unique folk sound has been accepted into a large variety of venues. Through this, they have gained a loyal fan base which grows at every turn.
Zerbin
Formed in Edmonton in 2009, this all-Canadian band have wowed fans and industry alike with their infectious live performance and studio releases. They’ve shared stages with the likes of The Flaming Lips, FUN., Said The Whale and AWOLNATION, cementing their status as a band to watch.
Boasting a remarkable musical versatility, Zerbin has carved out anthemic tunes, and symphonic organic rock with multiple Top 40 releases on Modern Rock charts. Unwilling to settle for mere sing song memorability, Zerbin creates moments of sentiment and spirituality. It’s this musical prowess that landed them two 2012 Edmonton Music Awards for Music Video of the Year and Single of the Year.
