SnowSeekers is a media company that delivers stellar videos, editorials, and photos through SnowSeekers.ca, SnowSeekers TV, and a line of smartphone apps. We highlight all the amazing snowbound adventures to be had in Western Canada and want to spice up our offerings by including local music into our productions.
Take your time – there are dozens of incredible bands to spend your vote on here. The six bands with the most votes will be selected to play the Vancouver Snow Show on Sept 25-26 at the Vancouver Convention Centre @ Canada Place. Choose wisely: you are only allowed to vote ONCE. Be sure and become a fan of us on Facebook as every few days we’ll be posting the vote totals and who’s in the lead. As an added perk, the band with the most votes by 5pm PST on September 20 will be headed for a Whistler gig this winter season. One lucky voter (and their guest) will be headed up there at the same time with the SnowSeekers crew, where lift tickets, rentals, and two nights accommodations are provided.
The more votes the better, so if you find a gem please share this page with friends so they can get in on the action too.
