Dark Blue World, part of SignalFest.

SignalFest Vancouver is a festival of contemporary music without borders presented by The Signal on CBC Radio 2 in partnership with Drip Audio and Capilano Performing Arts Theatre.

The Signal, hosted by Laurie Brown, is heard Mon-Sat from 10:00 pm to midnight on CBC Radio 2.
I found this information on todays shows at the Capilano University Performing Arts Theatre Site, one of the sponsors of the event.

DarkBlueWorld are set to perform March 5 at CBC STUDIO 40, 9:45 pm. The CBC Vancouver Broadcast Centre is at 700 Hamilton Street, Vancouver

Dark Blue World is fronted by singer/poet Elizabeth Fischer featuring collaborations with noted Canadian musicians. Drawing on Fischer's texts, expressive vocal style and the wide ranging musical influences the members bring to the group, DarkBlueWorld creates and perform material that is emotionally layered, often acerbic or darkly satirical, with subtly complex harmonic and rhythmic structures - individualized, intelligent expressions intended to communicate the complexities of human experience in sophisticated yet accessible song formats.
