Door & Table Presents: Music Night with the Burnaby Mountain Boys – A Fundraiser for Jacob’s Well
Join us for a fun evening of bluegrass music from the Burnaby Mountain Boys, hosted in the historic and unique setting at St. James Anglican Church in the DTES. This limited seating event brings you up close with the music while also engaging with each other around cookies and coffee. A portion of each ticket is tax-receiptable.
Burnaby Mountain Boys came together in 2011 to perform at the Pacific Bluegrass and Oldtime Music Society’s open stage. They have been playing their blend of Bluegrass and ‘grass-fed Americana tunes at farmers markets, pubs, microbreweries and private events ever since. In addition to traditional bluegrass from the likes of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and Del McCoury, they present modern material from current Canadian bluegrass groups like: Foggy Hogtown Boys, Slocan Ramblers and the Barrel Boys. Their ‘grass-fed covers includes songs from: Ian Tyson, Neil Young, Wilco, Bob Dylan and others. burnabymountainboys
This event is not just about music and coffee; it’s also a fundraiser for Jacob’s Well, a “living room space” in Vancouver’s DTES.
What is Jacob’s Well? It is a place where community members gather to give and receive friendship and support. It is where friends become family. We come together to celebrate the good and lament the bad. At Jacob’s Well, we support each other as we laugh and cry.
Jacob’s Well is a faith based non profit. We welcome all who come to our door. There is room for everyone at our table. Jacob’s Well is a small place, making big differences, in our community member’s lives. Your support helps keep our doors open, so that the table can continue to provide room, and the community can provide support.
Jacob’s Well is not funded by any church or public organization. We depend on the generosity of the Friends of Jacob’s Well. Thank you for joining us and becoming a friend of the Well!
