Gallery – Lee Fields & The Monophonics at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On March 14th, the legendary Lee Fields and the soulful Monophonics joined forces for an epic live show at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
Monophonics opened the night. Hailing from California, Monophonics have carved a niche for themselves with their unique blend of soul, psychedelic rock, and vintage R&B. Their horn-driven sound and magnetic energy fully complemented Fields‘ classic soul stylings, creating a fusion of old-school charm and contemporary groove. Monophonics consists of front man, vocalist & keyboardist Kelly Finnigan, drummer Austin Bohlman, bassist Max Ramey, guitarist Aquilles Magaña, trumpeter Ryan Scott, and trombonist Jason Cressey. Monophonics were on point from start to finish, showing that they are at their best when performing for an audience.
Lee Fields, often referred to as “Little J.B.,” is a seasoned soul and funk artist whose career spans over five decades. With a voice that effortlessly traverses the realms of emotion, Fields has earned his place as a true icon in the world of soul music. Known for his dynamic stage presence, Fields did not disappoint and captivated the audience with his raw and authentic performance. From the moment he appeared, Fields commanded the stage and got the crowd going. Dressed in a beautiful black & white suit, he bounced around the stage, showing no sign of being in his seventies. The highlights of the night were “Ladies”, “Honey Dove” and “Money I$ King”.
This collaboration brought us an evening of soulful melodies, infectious rhythms, and an unspoken bond between two generations of soul music. It was an extraordinary experience that celebrates the enduring power of soul music.

Epik High Turns Vancouver’s Orpheum Into a Hip-Hop Party
Epik High brought its 3.0 Tour 2026 to Vancouver’s Orpheum on October 20, delivering a night of sharp lyricism, ridiculous humour and plenty of crowd interaction. With BOBO.XX opening the show, the Korean hip-hop trio proved that more than two decades into their career, they still know how to make a concert feel like a party among friends.
BOBO.XX, a musician and photographer who works on Epik High’s video and content, warmed up the audience with a taste of his own sound before handing the stage over to the headliners. Anticipation grew during the break, and the theatre erupted when Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz appeared for “High Technology,” followed by “One.”
The group’s chemistry was clear to everyone. Their introductions quickly turned into a comedy routine, complete with DJ Tukutz’s sound effects and playful jabs at one another. Tablo might be the trio’s longtime leader, but Tukutz had recently claimed the title through a band competition, giving the three plenty of material to work with.
That humour carried through the night. Fan-submitted Post-it challenges put the members on the spot, leading to dance covers, awkwardly adorable aegyo and plenty of laughter. The challenges often involved bending the rules, with multiple notes taped together and presented as a single request. The trio’s willingness to make fools of themselves made the audience feel like part of the show rather than spectators.
The music never took a back seat. Tracks such as “ANTIHERO,” “Rosario” and “BURJ KHALIFA” kept the room moving, with the group’s tight delivery matched by DJ Tukutz’s work behind the turntables. The mood shifted for more emotional performances, including “1 Minute, 1 Second” and Mithra Jin’s solo “Will I Be Okay?,” showing a more vulnerable side to the performers.
The most meaningful moment came when Tablo spoke about the group’s long journey. His message was simple: if Epik High could keep pushing forward after 22 years, fans could overcome their own obstacles, too. It gave “Born Hater” an extra punch.
The trio closed with an encore of “EPIKISM” and “Don’t Hate Me,” sending the crowd home smiling. Epik High’s strength lies in the balance between serious musicianship and complete silliness. They can deliver an emotional message one minute and turn a fan-requested dance challenge into a comedy show the next. At the Orpheum, that combination made for a concert that felt personal, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.

Buffalo Traffic Jam at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
There is something magical about voices matching the season. The excitement of walking up to the Danforth Music Hall on the perfect autumn night, only to be engulfed in raw, emotive rasp.
Lydia Maes really pulled me in. There’s such an emotional quality to her voice. The way she incorporates the saxophone and the way she hypnotizes the crowd. She played a beautiful set and then later came out with her fiddle, to join Buffalo Traffic Jam.
Colin Lynch completely caught me off guard, with a voice that sounds like he sells out stadiums. He’s young, but that soulful, raspy, depth speaks to every age.
Then came the one and only Buffalo Traffic Jam. Gritty, earthy harmonies took over the Danforth and the crowd was electrified. There’s something about their sound that feels both stripped down and warm at the same time, and the moment they started, we were all at their mercy.
