Tina Jones (30 min)
For Festival Passes ($40) click here.
Tina's nearly 30 year music journey, exploring classical and jazz to disco and kids' music, has finally resulted in an earthy and expressive dive into the world of Canadian folk music. The result is a unique blend of jazz and folk, played on the banjo in the clawhammer style.
Whether playing solo at house concerts and small intimate venues or with an amazing full band at Folk Fests and Jazz Fests, audiences are taking notice. Tina's second recording of original songs, “If You Choose”, explores the foundations of love, loss and resilience. Ever expanding and influenced by Canadian jazz and folk icons Joni Mitchell to Joel Plaskett,
Tina's music is described as “a luxurious blend of acoustic folk, rolled in soul, seasoned with jazz" -Dave O Rama for BC Musician Magazine.

How do Couch Fest concerts work?
Artists receive 100% of profits and donations from Couch Fest!
Once you buy your individual tickets or festival pass, you'll receive an email confirmation, with the links to the livestream(s).
Couch Fest will happen on Zoom videoconferencing. Each concert happens in a different "room", so you'll use different links for each show.
We want to create that intimate concert vibe that Gabriolans know and love from live events. A concert host will be on-hand to introduce the musicians and host a short post-show with the performers.
We encourage you to make an event of it! Put a blanket out on the lawn, connect some good speakers, order takeout from one of great Gabriola restaurants, and serve up some special drinks.
We also ask you to not share the links with others who haven't bought a ticket.
Why Couch Fest?
Couch Fest is an initiative of the Gabriola Chamber of Commerce, supported by Gabriola Songs, to help support artists who have lost work due to COVID-19. We recognize how important performers are to our island culture and economy.
