The pandemic has cancelled tours and gigs for many musicians, but Vancouver-based artist Bo Henrik and his friends didn香蕉视频直播檛 let COVID-19 stop them.
Henrik and his friends are bringing their music to Kelowna on Friday, Aug. 28 in the 香蕉视频直播淚ce Cream Truck香蕉视频直播�, a collective of musicians whose shows and tours have been cancelled, with the goal of uplifting and making people happy, as a traditional ice cream truck would.
香蕉视频直播淓arlier this year, I was doing the solo artist thing. We had a bunch of shows and things laid out for the summer but COVID happened and me and my team were like 香蕉视频直播榚verything香蕉视频直播檚 cancelled, we don香蕉视频直播檛 know what to do香蕉视频直播�,香蕉视频直播� Henrik said.
香蕉视频直播淲e decided to get creative instead. My manager and I decided to put together this project called the Ice Cream Truck, where we just get all the gear in a truck, roll up in our 香蕉视频直播榠ce cream truck香蕉视频直播� with a collective of musicians and put on a full-on show outdoors.香蕉视频直播�
Henrik said the by-donation series of shows is also raising money for Covenant House, a youth shelter based in Vancouver that helps at-risk young people or those who may be experiencing homelessness.
香蕉视频直播淲e raise money to help them and people get a safe live show,香蕉视频直播� he said.
So far, Henrik said they香蕉视频直播檝e only played music in and around Vancouver to test the waters, with Kelowna the first long trip for the group.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e played at a couple of beaches and some inner-city locations and slowly, it香蕉视频直播檚 grown its own fanbase that people come out for. The next step for us now is Kelowna, then Whistler.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淭he feedback has been amazing香蕉视频直播� even when we香蕉视频直播檙e just setting up, people come up and say 香蕉视频直播榳e香蕉视频直播檙e finally getting some live music, thank goodness香蕉视频直播�. People also love the cause and supporting Covenant House,香蕉视频直播� Henrik said.
After the Kelowna and Whistler shows, he said they香蕉视频直播檙e not too sure what will come next, as summer wraps up but that they want to keep bringing live music to people in a safe and responsible way.
