If you have not listened to the very talented sound of East Van’s What It Is!, then you are truly missing out. If you don’t know this group, it consists of four amazing East Van ladies, being Mebrat “Mimi” Beyene, Cass King, Patti Powell and Carol Wiedemann. Together they are a powerhouse of a cappella soul.

These ladies bring heart to their East Van Soul and this Friday, you are invited to their CD Release Party which takes place at Notional Space, 1523 East Pender Street. Tickets for the event are $15 or $25 if you wish to purchase a copy of their new CD. Tickets are available online through Eventbrite. Doors open at 7:30 pm and show begins at 8:00 pm.
