GFT in Canada


We had the fantastic opportunity to perform at MusicFest Vancouver this past Saturday. Not only did we perform in an incredible venue (the Vogue theater) we also had the privilege to share the stage with the talented Dee Daniels. It was a night of firsts for GFT that I won't soon forget.

It was the first time GFT performed with Randy's sub Amanda (I could make a joke about Randy's sub being a 17 year old girl, but I'll leave that alone. Oops.). Performing with her was truly a blast. She is an amazing musician check her out. For the first time (in what seems like a long time) we performed with a trio. Nick Moore on keys (of course), Dean Schmidt on bass, and Mark Ivester on drums. Unfortunately, we don't get to gig with a trio very often; but it is always a great time when we do and this time was no exception. It was also the first time GFT has performed in Vancouver. We couldn't have asked for a cooler venue or a more receptive audience. What more could we ask for?

Like I said earlier, we shared the bill with the amazing Dee Daniels. She has a voice that is out of this world. At the end of the show she came out and sang "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" and "Revelation" with us. Talk about a fun end to an incredible evening. She even came out with us to do an encore. It was an incredible evening in beautiful Vancouver. Thanks to everyone at MusicFest Vancouver and the Vogue theater.
