Best Vancouver BC Bands
Vancouver, B.C., is music. This is a tiny town by world standards, but there’s a world of music here that cannot be beat in any other single city. Below is only a partial list of past and current Vancouver musical acts.
Most of these acts are born-and-bred Vancouver bands. Some are re-grouping of other bands, but here are all the incarnations. Musical style-wise, this is an indiscriminate list; all modern musical styles are represented.
A few names on the list are “from” Vancouver more in the sense that they didn’t appear on the radar until they established Vancouver as their home base (Bryan Adams, Michael Buble, Chilliwack, Heart, Diana Krall, Loverboy, Sarah McLachlan, Nickelback, Prism, Trooper, etc.).
