Every Wednesday our friends at The Georgia Straight give us something new to share with you here on the blog: a preview of what you’ll see on the front of – and inside – their paper the next day. As you likely already know, they’re the source for lifestyle and entertainment stories in Vancouver. Along with their robust online presence they release a printed publication which is distributed all over Vancouver each Thursday.
This issue is the 2,426th and on the cover this week is Jill Barber and the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Jill is finding life in Vancouver pretty sweet as she brings Fool’s Gold to the Vogue, plus Hedvig Mollestad, Nels Cline, Norma Winstone, and Rudresh Mahanthappa.
This issue is also the launch of the Georgia Straight’s 19th annual Best of Vancouver survey. Find the ballot online at Straight.com/bov.
HERE is a link to a portal with Jazz Fest features and below are some links to stories featured on the cover, which you can check out before you grab the physical paper:
