"Over the past decade, Vancouver Craft Beer Week has evolved from an intimate gathering of beer geeks to a bonafide cultural phenominon.
By combining delicious beer with incredible food, cutting edge arts, music and craft culture, the weeklong event captures the very essence of Vancouver and what it is we all love about our city."

Formed in 2008, multi-award winning internationally renowned alternative rock band The Strumbellas have built their career on crafting exceptional songs, easily connecting with fans through their honest and relatable lyricism and versatile sound. The two-time JUNO Award winners have spent much of their time on the road, delivering standout performances at such notable festivals as Bonnaroo, Governor’s Ball, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more.
Their 2016 studio album Hope gained international attention with single ‘Spirits’ topping the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, earning them the JUNO Award for ‘Single of the Year’ and a coveted performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. ‘Spirits’ has since been certified 3x Platinum in Canada and Italy, Platinum in Germany, and Gold in Belgium, France and the United States. Their 2019 release Rattlesnake and lead single ‘Salvation’ garnered another TV performance opportunity, this time on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and the track went on to win the band a 2020 SOCAN ‘Rock Music’ Award.
Now, with four full length albums under their belt, an iHeartRadio Music Award, three Canadian Radio Music Awards and two Canadian Independent Music Awards, The Strumbellas recently reconfigured from six to seven members, adding frontman Jimmy Chauveau to the mix after original lead Simon Ward opted to pull back from the rigorous touring schedule that’s become routine for the group. The latest iteration of The Strumbellas look to the future of the band, working towards the next chapter of their career; ever evolving, adapting and growing. The Strumbellas are Jimmy Chauveau (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Jeremy Drury (percussion), Jon Hembrey (guitar), Darryl James (bass), Isabel Ritchie (strings), David Ritter (keys), and simon Ward (songwriter).

The band’s start happened in 2008 when Sebu and Ryan were fledgling musicians looking for a break in the industry. They found an opportunity to write a jingle for a cola ad, but the ad agency opted to go in a different direction. The duo decided to turn the demo into an original record and called it “Safe And Sound”. They formed a band called Capital Cities and released the single in 2011. It became a global pop smash and earned a Grammy nomination for its music video. Sure enough, the cola brand that once rejected the song came back around to license it for a different ad campaign starring itunesZendaya.

I'm proud of the fact that, as we live and grow, we're able to continue to make music that evolves and changes and seems to be meaningful,” Conner Molander observes as his band, Half Moon Run, crosses the 10th-anniversary mark. “It's not like we found a trick and had a successful album because of that trick, but 10 years is a long time to be with a group of people doing creative work. You have to keep on allowing yourself to change and grow... and leave things behind.
