Blending the freedom of avant‑garde jazz with the grit of hip hop, punk, and blues, Sharif’s music feels like a transmission straight from the subconscious—urgent, searching, and deeply human. Since releasing his breakout debut Water & Tools—longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize—Sharif has continued to evolve, most recently touring a new collaborative project with Montréal composer NPNP. His performances are immersive, improvisational journeys that channel personal history, emotional truth, and fearless sonic exploration.with special guest, from Sechelt via VancouverMALCOLM JACKTouching on the concepts of modern myth, offline living, ecology and alienation, Sechelt via Vancouver based "folk" singer Malcolm Jack has created a one of a kind world that is as inclusive as it is unique, allowing peers to peer into their own lives and environments with stunning magnification. Live, thru moments of drone, free improvisation, spoken poetry and a wealth of intricate tunings, Jack finds otherworldly plateaus for these most earthly creations.https://malcolmjack.bandcamp.com/album/inner-circles - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/courtenay/chad-vangaalen-w-special-guests-jairus-sharif-and-malcolm-jack/100001994629430320 - **Event Categories**: art, sports, music, live-music, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 4 hours - Location: Comox Valley Curling Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 14.64, max: 27.96, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Courtenay - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Comox Valley Curling Centre - **lat**: 49.7076961 - **long**: -125.0048372 - **full address**: Comox Valley Curling Centre, 4835 Headquarters Road, Courtenay, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Chad VanGaalen w/ special guests Jairus Sharif & Malcolm Jack - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/939aee7810688c331be43127681f41a853289f718bde199b5c4275922ac12bdf-rimg-w1200-h1601-dce8e818-gmir.jpg?v=1788308212 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Chad VanGaalen w/ special guests Jairus Sharif & Malcolm Jack being held? - **A:** Chad VanGaalen w/ special guests Jairus Sharif & Malcolm Jack takes place on Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Comox Valley Curling Centre, 4835 Headquarters Road, Courtenay, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Chad VanGaalen w/ special guests Jairus Sharif & Malcolm Jack? - **A:** Chad VanGaalen w/ special guests Jairus Sharif & Malcolm Jack is organized by CVGBs. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
