If you live in Saskatoon and care at all about good music and art, please consider suppourting Vive.
In 2007, Phil and Rich shared a vision for a new music promotion company. It would be a venture dedicated to encouraging the talented depth and diversity of Saskatoon's music community. This entity would provide a stage for friends and artists that they admire. It would live outside of the establishment, taking risks, doing away with divisions, and in the end be a vehicle for excessive fun. In 2008, these two local show-goers began making it a reality. Early discussions lasted into the night over wine and pitas. What do we want this thing to look like? What should it be called? The pieces fell naturally into place as they tend to do when it's just meant to be...they call it vive. Their initial project involved support for The Warbrides, a trio from Moose Jaw whose skill and finesse caused a shift for vive, in terms of perspective, from consumer to promoter. Next was a singer songwriter series called Off the Floor, a project conceived for music listeners in small, quiet rooms. These are raw, solo, and bare shows designed for sonic intimacy. It's early days and the future is unwritten. However, it is sure to contain more than a few new surprises. And who doesn't like a really good surprise anyway?
Right now Vive's hard at work putting together ViveFest 3.
