Get Ready for Wassabi!

Canadian West Coast favourites are back and excited to be heading out on the road in 2025 for their 25th Anniversary Reunion Tour!

 

Original members Melissa Meretsky (M3), Brent Hongisto (Gisto). Joined by incredible supporting musicians David (uncledropsi) Phinn on Bass, Sasha Veregin on keys and Timmy (boom bap) Proznik on Drums. Together taking us on a journey to spice up stages and dancefloors across Canada.

 

Wassabi’s origins date back to the sunny Okanagan plains of central British Columbia in the year 2000, leading them to over a decade of solid North American tours - selling out venues, playing major festivals, winning awards and having their progressive world beats featured on the PBS series ‘Roadtrip Nation.’ A few years after performing at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Whistler, the Wassabi Collective project went on an indefinite hiatus.

 

Gisto went on to release several solo and collaborative albums, charting top 10 for multiple songs on the US NACC charts. Hitting #1 on the Rebel Vibez Canadian Reggae Chart and received an East Coast Music award Pineo & Leob. Now currently producing music, video and performing with his band The Grateful Living. M3 has been busy building a career in the visual arts world, garnering attention and winning awards focused on body painting and make-up / creating prosthetics for film.

 

We are in for a treat with the return of these seasoned veterans of high vibes and great times – it’s time for a Wassabi dance-off!

The Dream Café

We do have $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.

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
