Guilt & Company is Gastown's premiere live music venue, showcasing nightly performances by the best and brightest entertainers from Vancouver, Canada and Beyond! Established in 2010, Guilt found its home beneath Chill Winston on Gassy Jack Square, and has been providing large doses of class, sass and shimmy hugs to our fair city ever since. We were once known for our incredible selection of board games, but since have matured to offer more refined entertainment for the senses including live improv, swing and cabaret nights, as well as band showcases!

Vancouver's live music venue in the heart of Gastown.

Guilt & Co Live

GroundUp: Malcolm Aiken Quartet

Praised for his warm, lyrical tone, trumpeter Malcolm Aiken weaves together influences of jazz, world and pop music. His bold new album “New Futures” showcases sounds forged during his four year residency at Guilt & Company, Vancouver’s celebrated live music mecca. The sound is dub-soaked jazz with a splash of soul, down-tempo grooves, and vintage synths that set the mood for his velvet trumpet tone and sinewy improvisations. With his band a synergy emanates that recalls the sounds of Bob James and electric-era Miles Davis, with modern beats inspired by J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Robert Glasper. It’s been called “a west coast take on Nordic nu-jazz. Long, languid horn lines drift over hip beats and chill atmospheres in a collection of sparkling instrumentals.

Based on the west coast, Malcolm is an international touring and recording artist who has performed with an impressive array of musical icons including Latin jazz legend Chucho Valdez, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, R&B Hall of Fame singer Dutch Robinson, Polaris-prize winning band Patrick Watson and salsa superstar Jimmy Bosch. He’s played for global audiences at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and for world figures including the Dalai Lama, Reverend Desmond Tutu and Shirin Ebadi. As both a player and producer, Malcolm maintains a diverse and dynamic schedule performing in clubs, festivals and concert halls across Canada and abroad, while working with artists and collaborators in the US, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mexico City, and Cuba.

As an educator, Malcolm is an in-demand music adjudicator and clinician. From 2005-15, he served as director of brass with the award-winning West Vancouver Youth Band. He is currently acting Artist in Residence at the Vancouver School Board and sits on faculty at the Sun Peaks and Whistler Music Festivals. He holds a Master’s degree in ethnomusicology from the University of British Columbia, and has published articles exploring topics on brass pedagogy and Latin jazz. He is a frequent panelist for the Juno Awards, FACTOR and the Canada Council for the Arts.
Malcolm is a Stomvi Brass Performing Artist and holds endorsements from AMT Microphones and Matterhorn Music.

Backstage with: Malcolm Aiken

This horn forward and percussion rich six piece band features some of Vancouver’s heaviest players playing the music of composer and baritone saxophone player Tim Sars. Tim’s music combines latin, funk, balkan brass, and chamber jazz, mixed with poetic lyrics.

Sars’ friends Kevin Tang on trombone and Jocelyn Waugh on trumpet fill out the rest of the horn section. These three friends have been playing music together for many years, touring though BC with their Afrobeat band “Camaro 67”, and even opening the Vancouver Jazz Festival with the “Tim Sars Sextet” in 2017.

Ben Brown on drums, Robin Layne on percussion/marimba, and Conrad Good on double bass fill out the rhythm section. These three are all active in Vancouver’s creative music scene, able to create exciting and beautiful grooves will make you move.

Tim Sars

The Burying Ground is an upbeat blues string band that brings the fire of punk to the technical prowess and distinct sound of such early blues, country and jazz masters as Blind Blake, Bessie Smith, Gary Davis, Memphis Minnie, Big Bill Broonzy, and Jimmie Rodgers. The core duo of Devora Laye (washboard, vocal and saw) and Woody Forster (guitar and vocals) are known for songwriting that illuminates the human experience, and reflects the modern day by touching on mental health, the trauma of war, social justice and good old-fashioned lost and found love. It is today’s commentary on a framework of vintage music. All three albums have hit the radio charts - Big City Blues (2015); Country Blues & Rags (2017); and The Burying Ground (2017). A rotating cast of masterful backing musicians accompanies Woody and Devora.
