”I’ve always felt liberated in manifesting an idea

Spiritbar recently celebrated their two year anniversary. Since they opened, Spirit has
been the spot for live music of varied genres in Nelson, improved their sound system immensely
and hosted amazing live performances from such acts as:
Questlove, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Z-Trip (on Canada Day!), Sub Swara, Ali Shaheed Mouhamed
& Mad Professor to name a few. We sometimes take for granted the calibre of artists that come through
Nelson and the people and places that make our scene possible in such a small town.
So…Happy b-day Spiritbar.
