SUMMARY:The Paperboys - Inlet Theatre Music Series
DESCRIPTION:The Paperboys – Inlet Theatre Music Series \nGet ready for a night of foot-stomping tunes with The Paperboys at the Inlet Theatre! This in-person event promises to deliver high-energy music that will have you dancing in your seat. Don’t miss out on this chance to experience their unique blend of Celtic\, Bluegrass\, and Latin sounds live. Grab your friends and make it a night to remember at the Inlet Theatre Music Series! \nWhen you think of Canadian music\, who are the first contemporary artists that come to mind? Is it a globe-touring sextet that\, in a single set\, can be counted on to stomp through Celtic reels\, traditional Mexican folk\, fiddle tunes\, New Orleans brass band music\, classic pop songcraft\, bluegrass\, and even a philosophical waltz or two\, before bringing it all home with a Latino/West African singalong? I didn’t think so. Is it a fearless\, freewheeling band sometimes referred to as the “Los Lobos of Canada\,” veterans of an estimated 4\,300 shows since the band’s 1992 formation? What if I told you that this band doesn’t just exist—they flourish\, and have been converting full concert halls of indifferent strangers into devoted fans for the last 30 years? The name of this musical collective is The Paperboys. They are a Canadian treasure. \nThe heart of The Paperboys is a trio of gifted songwriters and musicians: Founder Tom Landa\, a fedora-hatted vocalist/guitarist/bandleader who immigrated from Mexico to Canada in his teens; Kalissa Landa\, a lifelong fiddler/vocalist with a preternatural command of melody; and Spirit of the West’s flautist/guitarist/vocalist Geoffrey Kelly\, already a Canadian musical icon when he hopped on the P’boys bus in 1997. Though by no means a jam band\, The Paperboys reinvent their show every time they step onstage. Once the band agrees on the opening song\, there is no set list. The song finishes\, the crowd reacts\, Landa reads the room\, and the journey begins. Every night. The world has changed seismically since 1992\, but The Paperboys fan base has stuck with the band\, and grown. “It goes beyond perseverance\,” Landa says about the band’s legacy\, “and into some kind of connectivity and resonance we have with people. We’ve created a community.” \nThough best known for their live show\, The Paperboys also have another ace up their sleeve: A deep and impressive discography. The band has released 10 recordings—including the Juno Award-winning Molinos—receiving accolades from MOJO Magazine and Roots Magazine along the way. They’ve been two-time recipients of the West Coast Music Award\, composed scores for two films\, and been nominated for a Leo Award for best original song in the Hong Kong/Canada film release\, Lunch With Charles. Although perennially adored and praised by alternative media and national radio networks NPR and CBC\, commercial success has eluded the band. Undaunted\, The Paperboys have kept in perpetual motion\, building a cult following through the impact of its incendiary live show and proud DIY spirit.

SUMMARY:Solo Art Exhibition: Raha Studio x Brave Brewery
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to announce a one-night-only collaboration between Raha Studio and Brave Brewery\, celebrating our first solo exhibition!\n\n\nWhen we thought about art\, we didn’t just want people to look at it—we wanted them to feel it. We wanted each piece to stir something within\, to spark an internal experience. And beyond that\, we wanted art to be something you could engage with—to touch\, to play with\, to share stories through.\n\n\nThis exhibition is more than just a showcase; it’s an invitation. An invitation to step into a space where emotions\, memories\, and human connection come to life. A place where you can experience art not just as an observer\, but as a participant.\n\n\nAnd in the spirit of connection\, this night also marks a deeply personal milestone—a celebration of choosing bravery\, stepping into the unknown\, and embracing the journey ahead. Bringing together all the people who have been part of this path\, under one roof\, is something truly special.\n\n\nIt’s also a birthday celebration for our co-founder\, Tara! A perfect moment to raise a glass to art\, to courage\, and to the people who make this journey meaningful.\n\n\nJoin us for a night of art\, storytelling\, celebration\, and connection—whether you’re here to explore\, play\, reflect\, or simply enjoy.\n\n\nRSVP through the link in our bio and be part of this unforgettable night!\n\n\nWant to show your support? Follow up on IG at Raha.Studio28 and share this event with your loved ones!\n\n\nLocation: Port Moody\, BC\n\n\nDate: March 25\, 2025\n\n\nOrganized by: Tara\, Sarv\, and Tina (Brave Brewery)\n\n\nEvent: Free\, RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/solo-art-exhibition-raha-studio-x-brave-brewery-tickets-1278778523989
