START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 223: Ladies Night *Special Edition*

With over 36,000+ artists, boasting more than 150,000+ tracks, the CBC Music/CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

		SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

Every now and then an music event pops up with a stellar all female-fronted line-up and it makes my heart glow. This very thing is happening on Friday with the return of Ma Petite (who will be performing at the Prop House with Savannah Leigh Wellman, and Twin Bandit) for her CD release.

I decided to put together a giant playlist of Vancouver female musicians and their bands... it's a long list, but I'm sure I missed a few. If you can think of any, tweet me at @VIAindie and I'll add them on! (make sure they have a CBC Music page so I can add them on!)
