Americana and roots-rock fans have a joyous month ahead, what with the returns of Drive-By Truckers and Wilco, and a show by singer/songwriter Amanda Shires. There’s plenty more going on, as you’ll see below as we present our picks for six concerts to check out in Vancouver in March.

Hey music fans! We wish we had better news but January’s a slow month. Not only that, but some of the biggest shows are already sold-out—that includes Michael Kinawuka, Leif Vollebekk, and Choir!
