Spirit of the West perform at Vancouver 125 Summer Live 2011.

Spirit of the West started with three Vancouver friends and a folk band called Evesdropper. Thirty years and 13 albums later, Spirit of the West is one of the country’s most time-and-road-tested bands. Four gold and two platinum albums, Hall of Fame inductions —and the charms to wheedle complimentary pints from bartenders in nine countries.

Summer Live is a free, three-day festival in Stanley Park hosted by the City of Vancouver on July 8, 9 and 10, 2011 to celebrate Vancouver’s 125th anniversary.
