Man, this is some of the best news I've heard all month...my friend Cem, concert promoter and proprietor of Zula productions, is back from Turkey and is opening a new restaurant/venue on Commercial - RIME. Cem has brought legends such as John Zorn, Dave Douglas and Junk Genius to Vancouver and has done so much for the scene that would otherwise only exist during the du maurier jazz fest.
Check it out, I will certainly be visiting on a regular basis!

Located in the heart of East Vancouver?s beloved Commercial Drive neighbourhood (1130 Commercial Dr., next to Tio Pepe?s), Rime will fill a niche in Vancouver, as a relaxed & intimate community gathering place, neighbourhood hang, fully licensed, authentic Eurasian eatery (classic Turkish & fusion food) and superb music room, with a focus on strengthening & nurturing the local music scene, as well as showcasing vital music from across the globe. Cream of the Vancouver music community, along with visiting players of all stripes will have a venue, on which both musicians & audiences can rely for regular presentation of quality music by Zula Productions along with great food by our chef & main man, Emir Polat, and drinks & music by yours truly, all at reasonable prices.
We at Rime take great pride in what we have created, a one-of-a-kind performance space & eatery in Vancouver and hope you dig & support our vision. We look forward to having you as our guests & to spoil you with world famous Turkish hospitality, food & international music of high caliber. More details on the Rime site (www.rime.ca), which will be up & running soon, and the Zula site (www.zula.ca), which will be updated beyond posters soon. As soon as we get all our ducks in a row and , we will have calendars on both sites, which will outline in detail all the activities which we would eventually want to include, based on the audience response, five nights of music, a film night & a special projects night with poetry & literary readings, burlesque, workshops & more...
Hope to see you all soon... Support live music in your community!!!
Your faithful bartender & neighbourhood music presenter,
Cem Zafir
