Sons of Granville earned three podiums in Georgia Straight's annual “Best of Vancouver” issue with their signature trio of viola, guitar and percussion - the perfect combination for upscale events. Working alongside top agencies and Destination Management Companies, they perform in Vancouver, Whistler, Surrey and throughout B.C.
Founded by two busking virtuosos outside the world-famous skytrain station, Sons of Granville quickly became a staple of the city’s entertainment district and vibrant music scene. They released their self-titled debut and recruited Jarrett Plett on percussion to complete the trio, cementing a reputation for instrumental prowess and unbridled live theatrics. They released the Imperative Drive LP as a farewell to their busking roots.
Fast forward to today: Sons of Granville are Vancouver’s top choice for conferences, summits, grand openings, weddings, birthdays and other milestone celebrations.

On a case-by-case basis, we either:
1) provide a stage plot to your AV provider, or
2) bring our own custom PA configuration
We have no special load-in requirements as our equipment fits in a small rolling cart.
We can bring our PA for the band, if it’s required. We don’t provide lighting.
When the musicians leave the stage during breaks, we can provide our pre-recorded playlist.
We love playing at the Fairmont Whistler and Vancouver - but THE most outstanding venue we played was the Fairmont Banff Springs in Alberta.
Our style is tailored to AGM, employee awards and staff party type of events, though we enjoy the occasional wedding!
Sons of Granville formed as a busking duo in Vancouver, culminating in three years of show-stopping street performances and a full-length album before shifting to private events.
As an instrumental band with such a unique configuration, it’s hard to define which artists influence our sound. We just love putting our spin on known classics.
Load in T minus 60.
Sound check T minus 30.
Multiple 30-to-60-minute sets.
A couple 15-to-20-minute breaks.
Yes, we simply require weather cover (from rain and direct sun) and a flat surface to play the cajon properly.
You can choose 2 or 3 new songs depending on the level of booking, and also select from our current repertoire.
We’re also accustomed to simply selecting the songs ourselves as we can deftly navigate the flow of the evening.
Instrumental Top 40 - classy and upbeat!
