HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

Boats 'n Bands 'n Birthdays

June 29, 2007

Grab a flag and head down Canada Day Sunday at noon to the Brickhouse Blooze Cruise, boarding at the Plaza of Nations Marina.

Brickhouse, Vancouver's busiest band, will be playing their unique blend of soul, funk and blues from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in a unique nautical setting. The six-piece band is a mainstay of Vancouver's music scene and well-respected amongst fellow musicians as some of the hardest working tunesmiths in the business.

Blooze Cruise tickets are $35 (cash only) and are only available at the Yale on Granville just before the bridge.

Where: Plaza of Nations Marina, 750 Pacific Boulevard
When: Canada Day, Sunday, July 1st, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets: The Yale, 1300 Granville St, $35 (cash only) 604-681-9253, theyale.ca
