2016-08-14: Artful Sundays

Ploughing right through our schedule of summer performances, the next is ahead of us on the afternoon of Sunday, August 14th. We'll be playing from 2:30-5 pm in the open area at Commercial and Napier as part of the Britannia Community Centre's Artful Sundays, so please consider joining us for an afternoon of outdoor acoustic music just off Commercial Drive!

2016-07-23: In This Together

Every three years or so, the Creaking Planks have a great, strange gig at the Gallery Gachet -- for decades, a critical hub of art therapy active in the heart of the Downtown Eastside. (And even at satellite venues, the Gachet has helped us to have some of our most memorable performance experiences off-site!)

They have recently had half of their funding cut -- the entirety that was provided by VCH -- and consequently we volunteered our services for a fundraiser concert to benefit their operations. There has been a whole schedule of fundraiser benefits scheduled, and our number has come up Saturday July 23rd, from 7-10 pm, at the Lost and Found Cafe (at 33 W Hastings St.) We're on the bill with K!mmortal and Mourning Coup, so it's a hot line-up and an extremely good cause, so show up early and be prepared to give 'til it hurts at the silent auction and cash bar. Admission is $10-25 sliding scale but, in true East Van style, "no one turned away for lack of funds, we give what we can!" This is just us, giving what we can. Please come join us!
