Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings at Malkin Bowl
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings are playing Malkin Bowl May 27th. I admit, I had not heard anything from Sharon Jones before so I looked up the following video on YouTube:
And then I wanted to hear more:
Here you have amazingly solid vocals, deep soul, hip shaking funk, and to top it all off, the concert will take place in one of our city’s most beautiful venues in the heart of Stanley Park. Known for their incredible live shows, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are a part of a revivalist movement for their genre (they even recorded their 2010 album on an eight-track tape machine).
Tickets for this concert are currently on sale and they’re all general admission, all ages, lawn seating. It’s an early show, starting around 5:30pm on the 27th and guests Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears will be opening the show.
I have two tickets up for grabs if you would like to win your way in, here’s how to enter:
I will draw one winner Friday, May 20th at 10:00am.
Update The winner is Kate!

I love Malkin Bowl concerts – mist in the trees, cool night air, crowd is always pleasant – I have also sat out many a night in the “free seats” outside the gates when I cannot afford the tickets.
Yes! Yes! Yes! The Dap Kings used to play with Amy Winehouse (I was going to see her but she cancelled her Vancouver show). Sharon Jones is much more together than Amy these days and she will be great at the Malkin Bowl. Song: “If you Call”
I love this group – love the new “I Learned the Hard Way†song and album
Money.
Where have you gone to?
Fingers crossed

Oops, Sorry I forgot to name a song. “What Condition my Condition”.
“I Learned the Hard Way†is a great song!
LOVE 100 days, 100 nights. Sharon is so awesome!
