Tonight at Doc Willoughby’s
Back by very popular demand THE PACK – these two girls rocked us back a couple of months ago and I have been asked ever since when are the pack coming back? The answer is tonight!! The Pack is a duo. But do not expect a stripped down drum and guitar outfit. The Pack is two women. But do not expect “girly” music. The Pack blends traditional blues and rock, with the focus on rhythm guitar, solid drum lines and singing straight from the gut.
“Holding the torch high in today’s garage rock revival, Vancouver duo The Pack strike with a raw, hell-torn, blues-rock swagger that is equally contemplative and unflinching”…Marty Rollins, The Approach
Bringing with them The AMAZING—- Hey Ocean!
The beautiful melodies, rich harmonies and clever lyrics of singer/songwriter David Beckingham and songstress Ashleigh Ball are both whimsical and thought provoking. The duo, who have had a long-standing musical relationship are joined and expertly supported by the wildly energetic David Vertesi on bass and the creative powerhouse Benny Schuetze on drums.
This young foursome takes inspiration from every corner of pop music – combining folk, reggae, funk and jazz into a sound that is uniquely their own. Hey Ocean!’s music also borrows from several world music genres; largely because of Beckingham’s three years in Kenya as well as other members’ travels in Central America, Asia and Europe. Passionate voices, pensive words and contagious fun keep this music honest and pure; from the heart, for the soul.
