West Coast Blues Band Big Pacific Set To Release Welcome To The Party

bigpacificband.com

Canadian blues-rock band Big Pacific formed in 2015 and are

a very diverse group of seasoned musicians that blend to form

a tight dynamic live performance. Their new release Welcome

To The Party is the culmination of years of woodshedding songs

in rehearsals and then polishing them in front of live audiences.

All four members of Big Pacific contribute their talents to the

songwriting process, with each adding his own personal stamp

to the songs.

The band has performed at numerous festivals and club gigs on

Vancouver Island, where they have impressed audiences with

their professionalism and ability to connect with people. With

the new CD the goal is to embrace the rest of Canada by

bringing the nation some West Coast groove. Set for release in

June 2020, Welcome To The Party is a much-needed

celebration of inclusivity and positivity - an invitation to everyone to step up and have a little fun as we all join the party of everyday life.
