David Blake is the Tangent Cafe music booker and is the source of news about gigs there.

In this Rhythm Changes Podcast episode, David and I discuss many things, including:

How David got into booking the Tangent via Andrew Millar and the restaurant's ownership
The first gig that he booked there, and how the calendar evolved from Sunday to Thursday to Wednesday
Inter-provincial performers who came to BC and played there
Our Capilano University classmates who came down often and also played
The large number of guitarists who have filled the Tangent calendar
The Tangent staff’s consistent hard work in making it a great venue

This venue has been a home away from home for me since 2014.

It was the place where I could go in my late-teens to experience the music I loved. It felt like the right environment to keep us all together.

I wish that many more people can have this experience at the Tangent! That’s why I’m a fan and have this page.
