Photos: Canadian supergroup rocks Kay Meek anniversary gala

Craig Northey of Odds, Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies, Chris Murphy of Sloan and Moe Berg of The Pursuit of Happiness perform in West Vancouver

If I had a million dollars, I definitely would have made my way over to West Vancouver’s Kay Meek Arts Centre Nov. 23 for a swanky, rocky gala celebrating the facility’s 20th anniversary.

Some Canadian rock legends hit the stage at the event as the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a supergroup consisting of North Vancouver’s Craig Northey of Odds, Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies, Chris Murphy of Sloan and Moe Berg of The Pursuit of Happiness.

The evening’s festivities began with a three-course dinner with musical accompaniment by trumpet virtuoso Jens Lindemann and Kay Meek artistic advisor Ian Parker on piano. The rockers then took the stage to crank out hits from their vast, shared catalogues.
