Bushy Park is the collaboration of fine laydies who said “Dyke country music? Hell Yeah!” We are a dyke country band with a fun, quirky, musical repertoire that does gender flips on classic country songs along with openly queer originals. Fun, inclusive, professional, homey. Country music is music with stories about everyday people – except in this case it’s everyday queer people. Suitable for audiences that bat for any softball team you like.
Wan Ting Moi (She/Her) is a new Vancouver drag artist who made her debut in March 2022. While having lived in Vancouver for almost 9 years, Wan Ting is very connected to her Chinese root, she enjoys performing not only your top 50 English pop songs but also some classic mandopop hits. You can expect all the pop girl fantasy, live singing, and hair-whipping in a Wan Ting number. She’s beyond excited to make her Vancouver Pride debut this year.
Jason Qiu (he/they) was a founding member of the indie group Locus which was featured at Vancouver Pride from 2008 to 2010. Now a solo performer, Qiu began a personal journey to rediscover himself and truly find his voice and confidence within. Performing in both Chinese and English, Qiu’s songs are introspective monologues and musings on impactful life experiences conveyed in vulnerable, emotion-laden vocal lines. Qiu’s upcoming English and companion Cantonese EPs, Lone Wolf, will be released in August of 2022.
