Hello everyone, I'm Nathan, I own a music retail store that sells & repairs vintage stereo equipment called Sound Heritage (Nanaimo), I've lived on Vancouver Island for about 5 years & love the music & events scenes here! I've hosted many small live music events at my shop in the past two years, & am working on getting an outdoor space behind the store up to code for 100-200 person events in 2026-2027. Additionally, I'm into volunteering & working at festivals and burning man regional events, and am exploring ways to level up my skills in the off-seasons to be more helpful in these contexts. I attended the Laketown Events Training Program last year, gaining hands-on training in site operations and stage management. Was proud to lend my skills at Sunk City Music Fest, Pachena Bay, Otherworld & What If in summer 2025! I'm also learning to DJ, with Tech House as my first musical love in this regard! Hoping 2026 will be the year I perform in front of a crowd. Stoked to be a part of this intentional community and the collaborations to come 💫🎶🏞️

Hi Space Makers & Festival Shakers! I'm coming up from Qualicum to play a couple of sets of mostly original folky singer songwriter material at Char's on Feb 5 - I'd love to see some faces there. Who the hell am I? An Aussie-turned-Canadian indie folk storyteller. I like to write emotive storytelling songs, with an emphasis on lyricism, odd tunings and a dash of humour every now and then. I'll be joined onstage for a few songs by violinist and all round legend Ian Cromwell (he might make me weep mid song, fair warning). Will bust out a banjo and some songs on Char's piano too Orig song - Coquihalla Highway Orig song - Glad I met you (Sorry About All the Fires) Qualicum forest covers Orig song - Quicksilver More vids etc on the website Thursday February 5th 2026 doors 6:30pm concert 7:30-9:30pm - if any of this sounds interesting to you: ticket link

This was about the 4th and 5th really heartfelt tribute to Pachena i watched. Granted, I was pretty sentimental but these two just knocked my socks off, and I broke into tears of great pride and joy... both these beautiful men are saying exactly what im thinking. Emboding why we do what we do in such a pure and true way. These words and the feelings they inspire ring so true and sing songs to my soul ....Fuck we must be doing something right (Shot by Colby and Witchbetty)

Hello all happy new year! I'm seeking help to throw a couple all ages parties, one on Family day the other easter Monday. I threw both of these parties last year at the downbeat with phenomenal success, we even made the Chek 6 news! We have a hall booked for this round as theres no kiddos at the club any more we just need hands on deck. We are looking to raise funds for a website to get some form of legitimacy to approach city hall in Vic to throw some larger publicly sanctioned events in Beacon hill park or maybe even some place i dont know about yet in a different municipality who is supporting of this type of fun, Victoria can be sleeeeeepy. Please feel free to shoot me a message on here! Have a great weekend

At the moment I am at a loss for words and full of love. Over the next few days I'll be reaching out to new members and folks on here. For now, just a bit of rest is needed. With love and thanks
