Jason Mitchell at the Cultch

Jason Mitchell is a friend of a friend and a local singer/songwriter originally from White Rock. This Saturday he’s playing a show at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Here’s more from my friend’s email:

The show is this Saturday (Oct 2nd) at 8pm at the Vancouver East Cultural Center. The acoustics there are great, and this show will be even better than normal. We are really trying to fill the place up, so if you have no plans, please come on down. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee it!!

I haven’t seen Jason myself, so I can’t really comment. Nonetheless, they’re recording a live album and DVD at this event, so I imagine he’ll be, to use the vernacular, givin’ her.

Well, I’ve called it the Cultch, and other people seemed to know where I was talking about. Could be they were just humouring me. My father calls it that, and I picked it up from him, I think.

This Google query seems to back me up.

It was only years after I first heard of The Cultch that I discovered it had another, more pedestrian name. Though I have found the term’s use to be far more common in the performing arts community than any other context. I first heard it as “The Cultch” in 1989, so it’s not new.
