The Shelf Concert & Buffet #42 - Dani Black

About Dani Black:

Dani Black is a Vancouver-based singer-songwriter carving out a bold lane in contemporary pop. Known for her commanding voice and narrative-driven songwriting, Dani blends modern pop sensibilities with acoustic foundations and genre-bending production — delivering songs that feel both emotionally direct and sonically expansive.

Her momentum has been building quickly. In January 2026, Dani won MRG’s ELEVATE Music Project, following her 2025 win in the Great American Songwriting Contest’s pop category and finalist recognition in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Competition. These milestones have helped establish her as one of the emerging voices in Canada’s modern pop landscape.

On stage, Dani brings both intimacy and power. She has headlined Vancouver’s Biltmore Cabaret and performed at the Vogue Theatre and Hollywood Theatre, while also connecting with large audiences at events like the Granville Block Party, Shipyards Night Market, and the White Rock Sea Festival.

Her upcoming debut EP, Against My Better Judgement, showcases the full scope of her artistry — bold vocals, sharp melodic instincts, and storytelling that cuts straight to the emotional core. For her Shelf session, Dani brings that energy into a room built for listening, where the focus shifts from production to pure performance.

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.
