As the new year continues to unfold, the month of March is set to bring a dynamic wave of musical energy to Metro Vancouver. While major stadium tours are just beginning to hit the road, the local scene is bustling with an array of smaller and mid-sized venue shows, offering a rich tapestry of sounds for audiences.
A Musical Cornucopia for Listeners
From the soulful strains of blues to the rhythmic beats of bhangra, and from heartfelt singer-songwriter performances to powerful soul acts, March promises a diverse musical feast. This variety ensures that there is something to captivate every listener, making it a standout month for live entertainment in the region.
Highlighted by Country Star Josh Ross
Leading the charge is country singer Josh Ross, who gained prominence after winning the Juno Award for Country Album of the Year at the 2025 Juno Awards in Vancouver. His presence underscores the high caliber of talent gracing stages this month, adding a touch of star power to the lineup.
Not-to-Miss Shows This March
Here are some of the key concerts that should not be overlooked:
- Matt Andersen: Performing on March 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Vogue Theatre. Known as one of Canada's finest blues players, Andersen delivers acoustic-driven boogie with genuine passion. As this show marks the tail end of his cross-country tour, expect a particularly polished and energetic performance.
- William Prince: Further From the Country Tour: Scheduled for March 4 at 8 p.m. at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. An Indigenous folk and country singer, Prince explores themes of loss, triumph, and daily life from his Peguis First Nation home on his fifth album. The opening act, Boy Golden, is also highly recommended.
- Dominique Fils-Aimé: Sunshine Tour: Set for March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chan Chun Concert Hall in the Chan Centre. This Juno-winning jazz soul singer recently released her second album in a trilogy series, titled My World Is The Sun, which builds on her expansive sound and deeply personal lyrics.
These events highlight the vibrant cultural landscape of Metro Vancouver, offering music enthusiasts a chance to experience top-tier performances across various genres. With such a packed schedule, March is shaping up to be a memorable month for live music in the area.
