***UPDATE***
Since its release in May 2023 Vancouver Rain has been played on over 70 radio stations worldwide and counting!
From Canada to Austrailia, USA to the UK - thank you for for the wonderful reception!
This song is my love letter to Vancouver and growing up in Canada. I am a musician in Florida but grew up in beautiful British Columbia and return home as often as I can. The lockdown found me having long conversations with friends and family over the phone. This was one such call with my childhood friend and producer Gord Lord reminiscing about music, youth and family.
We recorded over a few snowy nights at GGRP Studios in Vancouver with some wonderful musicians, old friends and new ones.
