Wecome to the R&R Music Showcase! The showcase is a monthly section that features local bands from around Vancouver, Canada and the lower mainland. You will find band and contact information, and MP3 demos.

Shine brings the emotion of their music to the West Coast, this breakout band from Vancouver is quickly becoming known for their passionate vocals and tight musicianship. "Time will lend a hand", is one of the best "break-up" songs in recent memory; "I feel great, And then I catch a ghost in my eye - A voice says there's two of us, but one won't survive".

Shine is a better than average band, originally formed in 1998 by three friends Neil Bell formerly with rock / metal band Saigon, Jeff Fairbank formerly with the hard rock band Fairbank and Matt Pavan formerly with hard rock / fusion band Future Shock. The hunt was on to find a singer that would complement the bands style of play. After an exhausting search of over 200 vocalists, Marnie Anderson came for a try-out. Marnie's great voice and experience with Rick Colbourne in Hard Poetry touring Canada, made the band a reality.
