Sat, Jan 23rd 8-10pm, Concert – John Pippus “Too Funky to Quit” solo tour – Folk/Roots, Pop, Blues and More... Acoustic soul-folk, rough and ready blues, finger picking, open tunings, harmonica and vocals that are real.
=0D=0A=From sharing a stage with Jackson Browne to playing to small, but appreciative coffee house audiences, John has lived a life filled with music and well-earned stories. SoundProof Magazine has declared him, "…a folk/roots gem"; The Vancouver Province says he's: "…a refined tunesmith with serious pop hooks". Earshot Magazine says:"He has a gift for making us believe that he's been down the road and around the block, and is still kickin' it.” The Vancouver Sun says: “He lives and breathes his musical muse.” John tours regularly in The Netherlands, Ontario, and around BC.
=0D=0A=John is a Club Char favourite and we’re pleased to welcome him solo.
