Meeting Meaghan Smith

On Tuesday, November 29th, I happened to check the website of one of our favourite singers, Meaghan Smith, who is from Ontario, Canada... and discovered she was playing in Vancouver that same night!  Of course we cancelled our standing Tuesday night squash game to see her.  :)

It was the first night of her tour and she was promoting her new Christmas album, It Snowed.  Although we had never seen her live, and hadn't known of her performing in Vancouver before, it turned out that her last concert here was the night of the post-Stanley Cup riots back in June.  She said there were burning police cars outside the club, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!

Thankfully this concert was much less eventful.  It was wonderfully intimate... a small venue on a rainy Vancouver weeknight, just Meaghan and her husband Jason onstage, less than 40 people in the audience, and $10 tickets!  We even got to meet her afterwards.

This is Meaghan telling the story behind my favourite song of hers, You Got Out, before singing it.  They weren't even planning to play it - someone shouted out a request for it during the encore!

Check out our YouTube channel for more videos from the concert.

Meeting Meaghan!

What a fun and spontaneous night!
