The Phonix

If you've missed it, here it is again. Our sax player did something really cool this NYE going door to door to his musician friends' house and surprised them with Auld Lang Syne. Do you want to send your friend a #Saxogram as well? Leave use a message in the comments and we'll get Eric to show up at their door! https://fb.watch/2MIu7fWj4D/... #phonix #dailyhivevancouver #bcbusiness #vancityhype #vancouverevents #musicbc #supportlocalartist #supportlocal #communityevent #vancouver_ig

What did you do this Christmas? Did you do something nice for people? Or were you being naughty? This year we decided to bring a little holiday cheer to people around Vancouver. Follow our band's saxophonist Eric as he goes caroling around town with his saxophone. Please SHARE this with something who could use some Christmas cheer this year! Would you like to hear more Sax-o-gram by Eric? Tell us what you want to hear in the comments below and if you're in Vancouver, he might... just show up at your door. If you've made it past 3 minutes of this video, here's the link to Star's GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/light-up-stars-xmas-and-birthday Despite Star's serious medical conditions, foster care upbringing, and financial circumstances, she has always been a joy to have in class who simply puts on a smile and does the best that she could instead of complaining about the unfair situation she is experiencing. But this Christmas she's going to need a little help from all of us! Special thanks to @David Edward Valentine Spidel for the awesome camera work. #saxophone #gofundme #saxman #saxplayer #saxogram #caroling #vancouver #christmas2020 #christmascheer #sax

Seems like every other band in the world is recording This Christmas this Christmas, might as well join the "band wagon". Here's our version of this amazing holiday favorite by Donny Hathaway. Instead of recording it with cell phone cameras we went all out and did it at an empty theatre with face masks, bell covers and plexiglass barriers. Thanks Capilano University for lending us the stage for this recording!!! As Alumni of Capilano U Jazz Studies, we are honored to perform ...at our alma mater once again. We sure miss perfoming for a live audience though! But don't worry folks, we're are all going to come out of this pandemic stronger than ever! And STAY TUNED because The Phonix band is working on something amazing to keep you entertained throughout the holidays, and beyong. (I'll give you a hint, it has to do with a piano and a bow of ramen) Until then, please enjoy our rendition of This Christmas by Donny Hathaway. Oh, by the way, did you know that we got voted THE BEST BAND OF VANCOUVER 2020 by the Georgia Straight?

Finding good music can be a drag...but not anymore! We made you a calendar of ALL the best live music bars in Vancouver. http://bit.ly/2rUClW2

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION: Your love keeps lifting me higher and Higher and HIGHER AND HIGHER!!! Songs that require audience participation never fail. This song is packed with choreography and actions that audience love to move along with us! LOVE IT!

What's the best way to get everyone up on the dance floor? Live music, of course. You *could* use a CD player, but is a CD player going to dance in front of your guests? talk to them? and dress up in nice suits and ties? Better yet, we'll bring the CD player for our set breaks!

Mr. Josh Epstein. Singer, actor, writer, producer. This guy does everything! We actually played at his wedding some time ago playing YOU ARE THE BEST THING for their first dance. This guy is a freakin rockstar on and off the stage. Follow Us to check out more videos.

Wedding Couples: You too can book a great #band for your #wedding in no time with this knowledge: http://bit.ly/2h3qFdC

Mr. Justin James. AKA the Hawaiian, AKA JJ, AKA Baby Al Green, AKA the PHONIX's drummer. This guy kicks his fair share of asses both on-stage and in the rink. Don't mess with him, because he's got a black belt in drumming and asskicking martial arts. See more of him on our site.

Tuesday is the new Friday!

QUESTION: What's with the sunglasses? The sunglasses is just how we roll at the PHONIX. Sometimes the stage lights are bit too bright, and sometimes it's just that there's too much star power in the audience. Yes, YOU! You're the STAR! Keep it up and we'll have to wear spacesuit.

Mr. Eric Tsang. He's actually a Mister! He's got 10 years of high school teaching under his belt sharing with kids the joy of music. But he loved the PHONIX BAND so much that he's recently quit his full time teaching gig to play with THE PHONIX full time. Help him pay his rent!
