Description

Bravery is Vancouver-based Lucas Penner’s guiding light. His upcoming EP, Happy Home is no exception to this rule. Happy Home, engineered by Penticton alumni, Tavis Weir, strips away the ambitious arrangements of his 2023 album, Mergatroid, and has the nerve to be totally bare: one voice, one guitar, three microphones. That’s it. Imperfections and all. It goes straight to the source and showcases Lucas’ chops as a songwriter, singer and storyteller. As an artist. Always evolving, always digging. From his recordings to his live shows, Penner is of the Tom Waits and Jeff Buckley school of artistry: dare, fail and keep going. 

This “keeping going” has lead Lucas down many creative pathways: acting in plays (Every Brilliant Thing with Tempest Theatre) and Film/TV (The Last Thing She Said, The Night Agent, LAID), creating indie-rock musicals (Circles), and most recently, co-founding an instrumental rock band called Desert Friends with Joshua Tree-based Antrom Alexander (Lost Palms Oasis, Album). 

Lucas' work is an extension of his father's eclectic taste, his mother's operatic emotionality and his uncle's urban art studios; it is a blend of Toronto's independent scene, Vancouver's mountains, and California's Mojave Desert; it's a sample of Tom Waits and Jeff Buckley, a tribute to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake and a love note to Fiona Apple. 

Lucas is thrilled to be reopening the Dream for the second time, to perform with old friends and musical juggernauts Phil D’Aoust and Terence Wendenburg.

*As of July 1, 2024, we will be adding a $10 minimum food charge at the venue as we are a food-primary establishment*

 

Founded in 2001, we've developed a reputation, among artists and audiences alike, as a premium live entertainment venue across Canada and further afield. 

Our room is a listening room, which is a rare gem to find. There is no greater gift to give performers than to simply listen. They bring with them years of dedication and we get to enjoy and absorb their creativity. As an audience member, the experience is without parallel, providing an incredibly intimate and unique opportunity to see top talent from Canada, and around the world.

A wide range of musical styles can be seen on the Dream stage. Though they differ in genre, they are united in their skills. Expect to see Jazz, blues, indie, R&B, folk, punk, spoken word, reggae, rock, country, comedy, and more.

Chef Matt, who joined the Dream in 2023, offers an ethnic influence on his delectable, fresh and nutritious menu.

A night at the Dream Café includes a warm welcome, great food and an outstanding music experience. Our regulars know that no matter who is gracing the stage that night - the calibre of music and entertainment will be excellent. Thank you for supporting live music, the arts and The Dream Cafê

There's no need to print your tickets, we will greet you at the door with our guest list for the show.

Doors open 6pm (unless otherwise stated). Show starts at 8pm. Kitchen is open from 6-9pm.
