1 “It’s You … Vancouver” Music Video
This has been over 6 months in the making and I think I can say we’re both very proud to have this video released! We were fortunate to shoot all over the city including atop the Convention Centre, Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium, Grouse Mountain and on the old wooden coaster at the PNE. Please share this video with you family and friends!

About a week before the release of our NEW ALBUM, Francois Marchand from the Vancouver Sun called us up to do an interview so he could introduce us to his audience. We were pretty pumped to have a reputable news source take interest in our new release. The interview came out the day before our release and, to our surprise, were given full page coverage! You can check out the article online. Here’s what it looked like in the paper:
