The Best In Vancouver is a yearly "battle of the bands" styled showcase of amazing local bands in Vancouver. Live Acts is holding their events at Portside Pub this year, so come out and check them out! We spoke with Goat String Orchestra about their thoughts on the event! 1) What sound can people expect to hear when they walk into your performance?
People can expect to hear a rock setup complemented by fiddle and mandolin. The tunes are based on acoustic guitar, and built out to the other strings and drums! You'll hear lots of singing interspersed with improvisation.
2) What makes you stand out from the other bands in Vancouver?
We always have fiddle and mandolin. There are at least 2, sometimes 4 fiddle players joining us on stage! Our songs are inspired by folk and blues music, but take big steps into uncharted territory.
3) Whats one thing you wish you could tell a new fan listening to your music for the first time?
Please dance! We all love seeing people enjoy our music and dancing is the best way to show that you do.
4) Where can people find you? Social media links?

5) Which prize are you most excited for from the Sponsors?
Any prize is great, we're just excited to play :)
Be sure to check them, and many other bands out at The Best In Vancouver going on Thursday and Friday at Portside Pub all month! See details at: https://www.instagram.com/liveactscanada
