Vocalist Bruce Coughlan fronts this six-piece music revue performing Van Morrison’s most lively, engaging and best loved songs!
As well as being an award winning singer and songwriter with Vancouver-based groups Bare Facts, The Hightops and Tiller’s Folly, Bruce has long been recognized as one of great vocal interpreters of our time. In this show he puts all of that experience and interpretive skill into sharp focus as “Van The Man”.
Joining him on this journey is right hand man and many year partner bassist Laurence Knight (Tiller’s Folly, Foreman Young Band, Shari Ulrich, Roy Forbes Long John Baldry). These two have been touring for decades and receiving thunderous ovations from Nashville and The UK to across their Canadian homeland.
Laurence and Bruce have hand-picked a stellar cast to bring this show to life. This show features some of Vancouver’s most in-demand musicians:
On guitar, keys & sax is Adam Rohrlick (Michael Buble, Colin James, Dr Strangelove); on sax, flute & vocals is Karen Graves (Diana Krall, Temptations, Long John Baldry); on trumpet, keys and vocals Kyle Axeford (Whiskey Dicks, Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra); and on drums & vocals long-time bandmate Greg Stuart (Frank Mills, Bo Diddley)
Be prepared to be totally entertained as “Moondance” brings the most energetic and joyful celebration of “Van the Man's” iconic songwriting & vocal stylings.
