If you’re looking to discover tomorrow’s big names today (or more accurately, Friday [February 7]), then you’re no doubt planning to make your way to Open Studios in Vancouver for Hybridity Music’s two-year anniversary party, thrown by the folks at Scion Sessions.

You also get to say “I saw them when.”
