Red Truck Beer is bringing back its Truck Stop Concert Series for a third year, with three summer outdoor concerts live from East Vancouver’s historic Brewery Creek neighbourhood.
Red Truck Beer Summer Concert Series
This year’s schedule will launch with a June 17th synth-pop show headlined by Australian legends Cut/Copy. Cut/Copy are a festival favourite who’ll be playing classics from albums like In Ghost Colours and Free Your Mind along with tracks from their upcoming album.
On July 15th, the country and Americana showcase takes over with Drake White and the Big Fire at the top of the poster. This Alabama-raised and Nashville-based singer came up the hard way, working in construction while he chased his music dreams. With a top-5 debut album and a series of sold-out shows under their belts, they’re sure to light up the concert series in July.
The series will finish on August 12th with a soul and funk themed bill led by the mighty Lee Fields & The Expressions. Nicknamed “Little JB” because of his vocal and physical resemblance to James Brown, Lee Fields has been a soul mainstay for nearly 50 years, and he’s still going strong, bringing deep down funk and soul to stages across the world. It’s going to be a soul explosion when he hits the Red Truck stage.
Each event will feature two stages for non-stop music, along with food trucks and free-flowing delicious craft beer.
Also on Stage
This year’s headliners will be supported by great local and Canadian talent, and confirmed support slot signings include: Youngblood and Band of Rascals on June 17th; The Dungarees, Chris Buck Band, Kristin Bunyan, and Sykamore on July 15th; and Vince Vaccaro, and The Real Ponchos on August 12th.
Each show also has one opening slot reserved for the winner of the Artist Submission contest. Unsigned local acts can submit their demos for a chance to be part of the bill and show off their music in front of 1,500 music fans. Beer tickets are also available for purchase online before show day to make sure that you’re always in the fast lane at the beer tent.
Tickets
General admission tickets are $35 for each show and go on sale at 10:00am on April 21st. Red Truck offers two ways to beat the traffic with $75 transferrable Tailgate Passes that are good for admission to all three shows, and $25 Early Bird single show tickets available from 10:00am April 18th until 10:00am on April 21st to truckers who’ve signed up for express concert news delivery.

Unforgettable is a new thriller coming to the big screen, starring Katherine Heigl, Rosario Dawson and Geoff Stults.
Tessa Connover (Katherine Heigl) is barely coping with the end of her marriage when her ex-husband, David (Geoff Stults), becomes happily engaged to Julia Banks (Rosario Dawson) – not only bringing Julia into the home they once shared but also into the life of their daughter, Lilly (Isabella Rice). Trying to settle into her new role as a wife and a stepmother, Julia believes she has finally met the man of her dreams, the man who can help her put her own troubled past behind her.

GrapeJuice Wine Auction for Big Sisters
Are you ready to wine down after a busy week? Join Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland on April 26th as they celebrate the power of mentorship at their GrapeJuice event. This is the perfect opportunity for you to not only find some rare and unique wines from around the world, but also help raise much needed funds for Big Sisters BCLM.
Where: Aston Martin Vancouver and Bentley Vancouver (1770 Burrard) when: Thursday, April 26, 2017 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm Tickets: Available online now
GrapeJuice will feature a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, silent auction wine items and wine tasting stations. Featured auction wines include a bottle of 1934 Comte De Lauvia – a wine distilled from ‘old-vine’ Baco grapes and barreled for 70 years – as well as the Korbel Brut Rose Limited Edition Frank Sinatra bottle, designed by the legend himself in 1997. You might get to own one of these bottles, but you have to bid.
For 10 years, Big Sisters BCLM supporters, McNeill Nakamoto Recruitment Group and MLA Canada, have been putting on this delightful wine auction. Proudly presented this year by Capital Direct Income Trust, the event supports Big Sisters BCLM’s mission to enhance the confidence, self-esteem and well-being of girls through supportive relationships with female mentors. Research shows that girls who have a positive mentor are less likely to engage in destructive behaviour such as bullying, fighting, binge drinking, drug use or dropping out of school.
It’s a tough world for girls, but Big Sisters BCLM wants to change that. With your support we can help these girls achieve greatness.
