High Valley Bring ‘Paradise & Hurricanes Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
The Commodore Ballroom leaned fully into country mode on March 27 as High Valley ended their Paradise & Hurricanes Tour in Vancouver. The room filled early, a mix of denim, boots, and fans ready to sing every word.
Opening the night was Kelowna singer Dawson Gray, a rising name who’s been carving his own lane in country. Known for his songwriting and easy stage presence, Gray brought a confident, no-frills set that clicked right away with the early crowd. He performed recent releases like “Chevy Back,” as well as his new 2026 single “When We Die,” hinting at a shift in sound. The highlight was his Canadian Medley that included Avril lavigne. His set felt polished but still loose enough to keep things personal, setting a strong tone for the night ahead.
When High Valley hit the stage, the energy spiked fast. Frontman Brad Rempel led the charge with a mix of polish and pure enthusiasm. From the first song, the band leaned into their signature blend of pop-country hooks and bluegrass roots. Tracks like “She’s With Me” and “Make You Mine” had the floor bouncing, while newer material kept things fresh. Rempel even mentioned how Vancouver got going right away instead of having to ease the crowd into the night.
Midway through, the set took a turn. The band pulled things back for a stripped-down segment that felt closer to a campfire jam than a packed ballroom. Requests came flying in, and High Valley played along, delivering older fan favourites with tight harmonies and a loose, personal feel. It was a smart shift that gave the night some breathing room.
Rempel stayed in constant motion, even stepping into the crowd to high-five fans and grab a few quick selfies without missing a line.
They closed the night the same way they opened it, with high energy and big singalongs. The balance between full-throttle country and quieter moments held up all night.

Calum Scott Brings His ‘Avenoir Tour’ to the Wiltern in Los Angeles
Calum Scott took the Wiltern stage in Los Angeles on April 3rd, 2026, for his Avenoir Tour.
Calum Scott is a British singer-songwriter who first gained attention on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, where his emotional cover of “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn became a global hit. Known for his powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Scott blends pop with raw, heartfelt storytelling. His music often explores themes of love, identity, and self-acceptance, earning him a dedicated global fanbase and chart success with songs like “You Are The Reason.”
The theatre filled, and by 9 o’clock everyone was ready to dance, laugh, and cry together. The sense of community was in the air as many of the fans related to the vulnerability in Scott‘s music.
He performed a variety of songs from his discography: some new songs and his hits. My favorite moment was his stripped-back set, when he sang “No Matter What,” a song about him coming to terms with who he was. Tears began to fall throughout the crowd. What a meaningful night for music in Los Angeles.

Syd Taylor at The Belasco in Los Angeles
On Tuesday, March 31st, The Belasco in Downtown LA was packed with fans from both near and far. Syd Taylor, an indie-rock artist from Michigan, supported Goldie Boutilier on her North American tour, The King of Possibilities. From February 24th to April 4th, Syd opened for Boutilier at sixteen sold-out shows.
As Syd’s bandmates stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted with cheers and chants of “Syd, Syd, Syd!” Soon after, Syd Taylor confidently walked across the stage in her stylish outfit, smiling brightly. She kicked off her set with songs from her new album, “After the Fact,” starting with “Love of Your Life,” then “Time to Go,” and “Leave Me Out of It.”
After parting ways with Stereo Jane, a band heavily inspired by ’90s rock—formed by Syd and her twin sister Emilia, known as Mia—Syd felt a strong desire to find her own artistic and personal identity.
Inspired by bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles, Syd finally broke free from external expectations—no longer told which genre to pursue, whom to share her demo with, or how to present herself on stage. As her own producer, songwriter, and guitarist, she spent three months drawing inspiration from her Los Angeles apartment and charting her own creative path. This ultimately led to her releasing her debut album “After the Fact.”
Syd once said that, during the process of making this album, she felt this was “the first time that [she had] been able to sit down and create something for [herself].” Syd had previously felt like she was prioritizing others and wanted to get as far away from that mindset as possible.
To create an album as raw and reflective as “After the Fact,” Syd needed to discover her artistic style. This led her to find confidence in this new era of her career.
Head to Syd‘s website for more information on upcoming tour dates.
