Fish Sung Sounds is a new live performance music series in East Vancouver. Focused on sharing, experimentation, and discovery we aim to make a space dedicated to intimate listening of the emerging and established sounds of local music and sound artists.

Hosted by What Lab and presented by Mark Sutherland.

Lauren Mann

After stepping back from touring for a few years, Lauren Mann is hitting the well worn road once again with new songs, a new band, and new energy. Since settling on British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands, she has rediscovered her voice and creative expression, finding new authenticity in her music. Somewhere between the tension of the beauty of her island surroundings and walking through a divorce, the new songs she’s been writing are marked by a maturity that carries a deeper honesty, tangible vulnerability, and renewed effervescence.

To support the release of her single Innocence (released Dec 2018), Lauren will be sharing that and more of her new songs across Canada in May with a fourteen date tour from Pender Island, BC to Montreal, QC as she prepares to start working on her fourth album. The songs are a harkening back to simplicity and storytelling, carried on enchanting melodies and supported by a full band comprised of Steph Jackson on guitar, Tim Charman on bass, and Kevan Britton on drums.

Emily Best

Emily Best is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Vancouver B.C. Her pure vocals and rich keyboard textures set the backdrop for grooves that fit somewhere between the driving polyrhythms of progressive rock and 1960’s southern country-soul. Her songwriting delves unassumingly through jazz, pop, folk and rock with earnest lyricism that ponders the human condition.

Accessibility Info

What Lab is located at 1814 Pandora Street. There is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The venue is located on the second floor up one flight of stairs, but there is a ground level accessible entrance through the back of the building. Seating is typically informal, and will include some combination of chairs, floor seating, couches, and cushions. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom. The washroom is not big enough for larger style wheelchairs to completely turn around in while the door is open. We are a trans-inclusive space.
