AHA MEDIA encourages everyone to go out and hear Bob Petterson and other local Vancouver musicians play on May 23rd 🙂
Bob Petterson says ” I’m fortunate that I get to work with some amazing local musicians and that two terrific local singer/songwriters are willing to make use of my modest talent on bass guitar.
The headliner for the show is The Mike Webster Band. More information available here: http://www.mikewebster.moonfruit.com/
Mike’s set will largely feature his original songs along with a handful of diverse, and surprising, covers. Magnetic West features all-original music by Randall T. Carpenter who also happens to be my compatriot, and the lead guitarist, in The Mike Webster Band.
Main thing is come out and have some fun! ” 🙂
