Concert & Buffet #58 - Bobo Violets

About Bobo Violets:

Bobo Violets is a Vancouver-based alternative R&B artist blending neo-soul, jazz, pop, and hip-hop into a sound that's vibrant, progressive, and unmistakably his own. Known for his powerful soul vocals, head-nodding grooves, and dreamlike production, Bobo creates music that's both sonically adventurous and deeply human.

At the heart of his work is a commitment to radical honesty. Drawing from personal experiences with mental health, self-acceptance, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life, Bobo transforms vulnerability into songs that feel intimate, uplifting, and profoundly relatable. Every track is a labour of love — written, produced, and performed entirely by Bobo himself — reflecting a DIY approach that brings an extra layer of authenticity to every note.

For his Shelf session, Bobo brings that same magnetic presence, elevated musicianship, and playful energy into a room built for listening. Expect soulful vocals, rich grooves, and a performance that feels as genuine as it is unforgettable.

About The Shelf Concert:

Inspired by NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, we bring raw, stripped-down performances to Vancouver — but with our own after-hours twist. On Wednesday nights, Hestia closes its doors to the public and transforms into a private listening room for just 60 guests. No blasting speakers, no artificial mixing — just pure, direct sound. Artists self-mix in the moment, adjusting to the space and the energy of the room. And since each concert is recorded live, the audience isn’t just watching — they’re part of the final cut. Every cheer, clap, and moment of silence is captured by the microphones forever.

Your ticket includes:

✔️ Exclusive access to the session — An intimate, after-hours concert in the closed restaurant space at Hestia.

✔️ A late-night buffet — Curated by HESTIA to make the night feel even more special.

✔️ A role in the recording – Your energy, your reactions, your moment.

How It Works

• The concert is structured into three short sets (three songs each), with two 5-minute breaks in between.

• Natural emotional reactions (clapping, cheering, vibing, etc.) are encouraged!

• During performances, we ask for minimal disruptive noise — think of it like being in a live recording session. Because it is!

• Breaks are off the record — the perfect time to chat, enjoy the buffet, or grab another drink.

• Some artists may extend their set or play an encore if the vibe feels right — show your love and you might just get more!

Limited to 60 spots. Every session is unique and will not appear again.
