Looks like it’s going to be a glorious evening to come see The Colorifics at Hackett Park! See ya there!

The Colorifics https://www.facebook.com/Colorifics
The Colorifics, an all original mainstay of the Vancouver live music scene
for almost 25 years have had a lively career of touring their unique and
eminently danceable music down the west coast, across Canada and
beyond.
Drawing inspiration from the entire history of recorded music, the Colorifics
combine uptempo swing, sultry bossa nova, afro-cuban rhythms, cabaret
noir and pop music of every era in their unique original songs that rival jazz
standards of the past and pop hits of today. The resulting music is
melodically strong with clever and often satirical Porter-esque lyrics, rich
with emotion and drama and encompassing a huge variety of danceable
rhythms
Executed with poise, class, professionalism, and a lot of sass, the music of
the Colorifics is a welcome refreshment for the musical soul.
Bernard Boulanger - Composition, Guitar, Vocals
John Rule - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
Gabrielle Ng - Bass
Aliya Boulanger - Lead Vocals
