Seagrass Music is proud to present another show in its Concerts on Tap brewery series: "Infamy Too!"
On Wednesday, May 3, Julia Chien and Aaron Graham of the Vancouver-based percussion duo "Infamy Too!" will perform a show in one of East Van's favourite tasting rooms- Strange Fellows Brewing!
The night will feature a collection of percussion duos paired with a flight of Strange Fellows Brewing's best on-tap beer. Each piece of music will represent a unique brew!
Capacity is limited, so we recommend audience members arrive early to secure their seat. We also recommend that audience members purchase their flight or drink of choice to sip with the performance prior to the concert! The event will run for approximately one hour without a break.
Throughout the concert, audience members are also welcome to move around at their leisure in Strange Fellows Brewing's tasting room.
