Local Talent Encourages Athletes Through Song
13 February 2010
Local singer/songwriter Matthew David will be singing live an encouraging anthem for athletes at the Richmond O Zone Celebration Site at 3:30 p.m. Also performing on the main stage are Hey Ocean, VooDoo Allstars and internationally recognized reggae-pop band Bedouin Soundclash.
Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, rock musician Matthew David collaborated with the City of Richmond to create a music video to show support for our Canadian Olympic team. The music video was filmed with Richmond employees to spread Olympic spirit throughout the community. His latest single titled “Today” will be performed at the O Zone for a family-friendly music show. The music video is available online for viewing and “Today” is available for download on iTunes.
Vancouver veterans and Canadian reggae-pop music group Bedouin Soundclash brings their catchy harmonies to Richmond’s O Zone tonight at 9:30 p.m. Bedouin Soundclash found success on Canadian music charts with the pop song, “When The Night Fills My Song” back in 2005 and has since released another chart topper, “Until We Burn In The Sun” from their 2008 album, Street Gospels.
Additional entertainment includes French-Acadian artists VooDoo Allstars, who will be performing eclectic beats with guitar, mandolin, fiddle and accordion. The VooDoo Allstars can best be described as high-energy, New Orleans style roots and blues. The VooDoo Allstars will be playing at 5:30 p.m. today along with young Vancouver pop band Hey Ocean at 8 p.m.
The Richmond O Zone runs from February 12 to 28 and is open from 3-11 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon to 11 p.m. on weekends. Entrance is free and is open to all ages. Richmond prides itself on diversity, and the O Zone is proud to celebrate with diverse Canadian entertainment. For more information, please visit www.richmondozone.ca.
