Don't miss out on esperanza spalding at the Chan Centre
The first time that most of us heard about esperanza spalding was seeing her "upset" Justin Bieber, Drake, and Florence + The Machine for the Best New Artist Grammy 14 years ago. But jazz lovers had known about her for years at that point, and weren't particularly surprised to see the rest of the world discover what we already knew: esperanza spalding was a star.
I finally got to see her perform live at the Big Ears festival in Knoxville earlier this year, and was absolutely mesmerized at the way she combined Jazz, art rock, contemporary dance, and a thousand other things into her performance. She's bringing all of these influences to Vancouver for the first time in 12 years on August 29, to the utterly gorgeous Chan Centre. Tickets are on sale now at the link below.
