This weekend I’ll be heading out to Vancouver to take part in the festivities surrounding CANADA’S SUPERBOWL!!!! Okay, okay, maybe it’s not THAT big, but it’s still a yearly event that Canadians look forward to drinking beer whilst watching, typically with friends and food. It’s the Grey Cup, the final game of the Canadian Football League season. This year, the game will be held in Vancouver, and the BC Lions fortunately have home field advantage against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

My part? I will be the in-house DJ at the Molson Canadian House Friday & Saturday, hosting the day’s bands and wrapping up with a 2-hour set each night. Among the bands playing will be canuck rock legend Colin James and, I’m very happy to say, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings! Big fan – I’ve seen them 3 times and they never fail. I’ll have to dig up a heavy set to follow those guys. I put their tune “How Long Do I Have To Wait For Your Love?” (below) as the last song on my “Get Up!” mix, and it was one of my most requested/asked about tunes from that mix. Top notch group.

For a full schedule, head to the Molson Canadian House event page.
