We will go live from the beautiful Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons – on the Music in the Landing Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Music.Landing /), direct to your living rooms and simulcast on Eastlink Community TV! 

Verna began her music career singing pop, rock & r&b in clubs and pubs throughout BC before moving onto jazz, singing with a big band for many years at clubs like Vancouver’s Hot Jazz Club and events such as Vancouver’s First Night, she also appeared with many Vancouver musicians at restaurants and clubs in Vancouver.

With a background in writing and production, Verna has also written, produced and appeared in musical productions for multiple Vancouver Fringe Festivals, as well as Vancouver’s Women in View Festival. She also produced many shows at Vancouver’s Hogan’s Alley and other venues.

Since moving to the Sunshine Coast, some years ago, Verna has performed at the Gibsons Jazz Festival, made appearances at local venues, produced Music in the Landing, acted as musical director for the Funtastics and produced the first Gibsons Lantern Festival.

For this live-streamed event, Verna takes the stage with accomplished guitarist Paul Steenhuis, Boyd Norman on bass and John Rule on drums.
