sceneandheard SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With 29,288+ artists, boasting 138,570+ tracks, the 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.

Vancouver has some amazing musical talent and when you combine that with spoken word, you get special things like Shane Koyczan and The Short Story Long. I've heard Shane solo, performing with Dan Mangan (one of my favourites is with Dan Mangan, called Move Pen Move) and with The Short Story Long and every time you want to laugh, cry, and look deep into your soul. So naturally when I found out they were performing, I asked for a playlist...

You can see Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long at the Vogue (with Hannah Epperson) on April 21st, I know I'll be there! Speaking of Hannah Epperson, you can hear her in the playlist that Shane created for us by clicking below...
