Emotions: The Open Mic Experience is a rapidly growing movement and somewhat sound wave growing in Vancouver right now.
It's just over a year old, and there is no doubt that the team behind Emotions aka #TeamEmo has been putting in the hustle, the grind and the time, to truly invest into creating a night, various events and a cultural experience, to present to their growing audiences and regulars, a great display and opportunity artists within Vancouver, can share their craft, art form and talent(s).
Emotions has a grown so much in the year, they've made it evident, it's only the beginning of something that was clearly missing from Vancouver, or we as a city needed more of. In the last year they've evidently displayed how much they've grown, by simply having to grow within their venues they host their monthly events. From the Belmont Bar, to club M.I.A and now currently, they host their Emotions Open Mic Night at the infamous Fortune Sound Nightclub in Chinatown, Vancouver.
Members apart of The Emotions Open Mic Experience hosting UnHinged 2.0
On June 9TH, the Team behind Emotions hosted a very special event, UnHinged 2.0. The first event under the UnHinged brand, was hosted in Ottawa earlier in the year, during the Winter. Emotions was invited to Ottawa from Behaviour Collective, a Canadian Collective movement across some of the major Canadian cities, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, This collective consists of Canadian artists, photographers, clothing designers and musicians as well.
The Emotions team thought it was only right, to continue this unified Canadian movement to host Behaviour Collective in Vancouver, where they can consistently provide East meets West and West meets East.
As a plan, Emotions had a full roster line up of Vancouver based artists, to further celebrate the event and to showcase local talent, and music.
