Danielle Schroeder and Band – ‘Later Is Here’ album release concert

Running Time: 2hrs 30mins including intermission

Local alternative folk/rock artist, Danielle Schroeder and her band, will showcase songs from Danielle's newest album 'Later is Here', along with music from past albums (and some fun covers too). Join us for music, stories, and good company!

Show: 7pm to 9:30pm

Danielle's songwriting is an intimate exploration of life's most profound experiences - grief, loss and personal transformation inspired by lived experiences. "I am a counsellor and that has been an integral part of my identity and my music. I started writing music when I was working with people at end of life and their families. Opening myself up to creative expression alongside my work has been very meaningful and inspiring for me."

Danielle Schroeder & Band – Lana Lou’s (Live)

Since 2018 alternative folk/rock artist Danielle Schroeder has been emerging in the Vancouver music scene with the release of her latest EPs Ancient Desire (2023) and Between Two Worlds (2024) that have been well received by fans and press across the world. Danielle is looking to continue her career growth with the release of her new EP ‘Later is Here’ in June 2025.

Drawing inspiration from artists and bands like The War on Drugs, Radiohead and Imogen Heap, “who I listened to a lot as I was working on the songs for this new EP,” Danielle creates expressive soundscapes that compliment her deeply introspective lyrics. Her folk roots, largely influenced by Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman, shine through in her soulful guitar work, particularly in her open-G tuning.

With a passion for storytelling and an unwavering dedication to her craft, Danielle continues to share her voice with the world- one heartfelt song at a time. And the world is loving what they hear.

Small Town Artillery

Running Time: 2hrs30min

Small Town Artillery Collective (STAC) is a rock and roll band helmed by brothers Tom and Derek van Deursen. Originally from Kaslo, British Columbia, Tom and Derek have been playing together for over 20 years, with Small Town Artillery as their flagship project for the past 10.

LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE

After a rising 6 years in Vancouver, including headlining festivals, multiple tours, signing to JumpAttack! Records and releasing a full length album and 2 EPs, the band was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Small Town Artillery pivoted, and by following restriction guidelines, booked the “Fewer Faces, Open Spaces” tour, one of the only live music tours during the summer of 2020 and 2021 in Canada.

Most recently, during some time taken off of performing the band lost a core member, Carson Webber. He had been their dedicated Bass player for almost 10 years and his death sparked a change in how it felt to play music and what it meant to be a band.

Rallying together as a community, and reaching out to construct a new sound and experience, Small Town Artillery now feels itself a collective, with members both new and old forming the current roster. They went on a 21 show headline tour of the Pacific Northwest in May of 2024 and are currently deep in the process of working on their 3rd LP, emerging long enough to play a handful of select shows in BC before returning to the studio to finish up the album, due for a 2025 release. These two concerts at Firehall Arts Centre will be their last Vancouver shows of the year.

The Band’s successes & growth are due to their high-energy live show, quality of original music and video, and strong work ethic to see a childhood dream realized, 20 years in the making.
