About The Event
6-8pm: Marty Zylstra Pop Live show
After playing in Vancouver power-pop staple, Sweetheart, for several years, Marty decided he needed to take his music in a different direction.
Marty spent the next couple years writing and recording, honing his solo sound when a domino of tragedy struck again and again. His next EP, The Dragonfly and the Spider (2018) was heavily inspired by the loss of his sister, mother and grandfather all in quick succession. Using this unfathomable pain, Marty put together a dream-pop masterpiece, a medley of catharsis with Brian Wilson’s dreamy melodies and Tom Petty’s rock n roll swagger.
T
hroughout his many years playing music, Marty has shared the stage with some of Canadian music’s biggest names such as Tegan and Sara, Metric, Sam Roberts, Trooper, Mariana’s Trench, Hot Hot Heat, We are the City, Hey Ocean, the Stills and the Trews to name but a few. He has had his music featured in several prominent television shows such as MTV’s Real World, Degrassi Jr High, Pimp My Ride and Stoked. Food Truck on site: Boteco Brasil
