CRYIN’ TIME STEEL GUITAR CONVENTION is a four day event dedicated to the celebration of steel guitar music and culture, and takes place FEBRUARY 6TH – 9TH, 2025 in Vancouver, BC, at The Wise Hall, Green Auto, The Heatley, and The Pearl.
The weekend joins professional and amateur players, artists and industry professionals, and above all, fans. We do not claim to be any authority, but we hope that if we can give folks access to a wealth of knowledge, and all the beautiful tones their hearts can hold, they will have all the opportunities they need to become one.
Programming includes workshops, lectures, and jams, along with performances and appearances from a roster of Featured Players, and from artists like Brennen Leigh, Bob Sumner, Leeroy Stagger, Andrea Whitt, Brett Cassidy, Vanessa Dee & The Brightsides, Chaya Harvey, Ben Vallee, Dead Flowers, Rich Hope, Elliot C.
