Dear audience,

$20*: The ‘Happy Birthday, Devon!’ ticket price. *Includes party hat.
Featuring spellbinding word play by slam poet, ICY GAZE
ICY GAZE uses poetry to befriend their own soul and hopefully play with yours. Born in Indonesia and based on Turtle Island, they have been cultivating their poetic dexterity for over ten years. They blossomed as a spoken word poet on the UBC and Vancouver Poetry Slam stages, eventually featuring and competing nationally. Inspired by the literary tradition in their South Asian roots, ICY’s poetry is a journey of overcoming shame, guilt, and grief by shattering illusions, showing up in the present as authentically as possible, and becoming love.
Featuring legendary Vancouver percussionist, Barry “the B” Benson
Barry’s drum sticks run deep - and wide, across genres - in the Vancouver music scene. He’s been keeping for The Jazzholes since they formed in 2003, playing originals rooted in swing, latin and bebop - along with classics by Mork, Miles, Mingus, and more. He remains true to the hard beats and driving tempos of his youth with punk outfit, Aging Youth Gang (AYG).
