A key player in the festival

As the vibrant sounds of jazz and blues fill the air during the Fort Langley Jazz Festival, one local business stands out as a key player in the celebration of music and community: Chew On This Tasty Tours. Founded by Lise Hines, this culinary gem not only offers tantalizing food experiences but also embodies a deep-rooted love for jazz music that has been passed down through generations. This year, Chew On This Tasty Tours will play a pivotal role in the festival’s Cool Blues Show, bringing together the flavours of Fort Langley with the soulful sounds of jazz and blues.

a legacy of jazz

Lise Hines’ passion for jazz music has its roots in her childhood, where her father was a significant influence. Despite his passing in 2014, the melodies of jazz continue to resonate within Lise and her family. She fondly remembers the time when her father was hospitalized in Ontario. Knowing how much he loved jazz, she arranged for a radio to be placed in his room, tuned into a jazz station. This gesture not only provided comfort to her father during his illness but also reinforced the profound connection between music and family.

Lise’s love for jazz didn’t stop with her father; she has successfully passed this passion onto her children. Last year, her eldest son joined her at the Cool Blues Show, where they immersed themselves in the lively atmosphere, enjoying the performances and the sense of community that the festival fosters. This shared experience not only strengthened their bond but also allowed them to celebrate the legacy of jazz that her father instilled in them.
