vancouver, thank you

Saturday was the final show of my A BLUR tour in my hometown of Vancouver. It was at the Commodore, and it sold out 5 months in advance. I always told myself if that ever happened, having a big show sell out in advance, that I’d re-invest in myself and try to give the audience something they wouldn’t expect. So we did exactly that, without telling anyone, prepping for this show months in advance.

I brought in entire new production, a custom-built lighting rig, something I had never done before. The visuals were a complete labour of love on my end, I was editing everything time-coded in Premiere right up until I hit the stage. I wanted this show to be the best it could be. This week leading up to it and then playing the show literally was a blur. How poetic.

When I finally hit the stage and the lights came on the audience for the first time, it was a feeling that was hard to put into words. A venue I’ve wanted to headline since I was 13 playing in a band, and now it was happening. In a way i felt like a lot of my life has lead to that moment. Lights and Vox Rea came out and sang songs, and the entire crew stepped up to make this night very special. 

So I just wanted to say, thank you vancouver. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. (btw we filmed the whole thing, subscribe to my youtube so u dont miss it)
