One of our goals with this year’s video series was to disprove the inference that to be featured on it required some level of professional commitment to music. In any industry, it figures that the people you’re going to be around the most are those who are also in it with you, so we made a point of trying to record some artists who don’t frequently tour in bands or involve themselves in that music machine, and who simply just play the piano really well!
Our two-person team stationed itself at the Folk Fest piano for as long as we could stand the heat over the three days of the festival, and were fortunate enough to film a handful of performances from exactly these sorts of players.
Paloma Pendharkar approached us whilst selling 50/50 tickets as a volunteer for the festival to ask what we were doing, and ended up taking 5 minutes out of her day to play for us.
This is such a beautiful song, and as we attempt to capture some of Vancouver’s city flow in each video, could easily serve as something of a theme tune for our series.
