Live Music at the Olympics

Sound the horns! Unfold the flags from the balcony! Unleash the snowboards, skates, skis and bobsleds, it's almost time for the 2010 Winter Olympics!!

This year the Olympics are being held in Vancouver, Canada. The games will be held between February 12-28. These 17 days of Olympic sized fun has a projected estimate of 2.3 million attendees, not including press, athletes, officials and volunteers. With that, there is a lot to expect from the live performances going down around and during the Winter Olympics. And there are a lot.



There are a few of shows I've been looking at, but more specifically the bands that are playing at them. Two of these artists that I'd recommend checking out is Ross Neilson and Hey Rosetta!














Ross Neilson plays a mean blues set, as you may have heard on a previous episode of UW. He's been nominated for Best New Artist for the Maple Blues Awards, and back-to-back nominations for Blues Album of the Year from the East Coast Music Association. If that's not enough, he's being produced by two time Grammy nominee Cody Dickinson. And if that's still not enough, he spent two years living life to play music travelling around in his van. He is indie to the bone and has the talent to back it all up. You can download two of his albums from Thorny Bleeder Records for FREE.


Ross will be playing at several spots during the Olympics all at Atlantic House. However, this is not the only spot where bands are playing.

Hey Rosetta! will be performing at The Orpheum Theatre, The Granville Island Main Stage, GI Backstage, Whistler Village Square and the Surrey Celebration site. These guys are awesome, and even though they are playing only a few shows during the Olympics, they are worth the push to see. They have toured the UK and most of Canada, featured on MTV, won three East Coast Music Awards in 2009, as well as the CMW Indie Award for Best Album, and XM’s Verge Award for Best Album.

They record with Sonic Records.



Check out these artists and more at the 2010 Winter Olympic games! It's sure to be an awesome year!!
