James Green and BB King - Backstage at the Orpheum, Vancouver
Some moments do not announce themselves. After a landmark performance at Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre, James Green sat down backstage with BB King for nine minutes of conversation that was planned but never felt like it.
James came to this moment as a man for whom music has always been more than a pastime -- a lifelong passion expressed through playing, teaching, and conducting. BB King came straight from the stage. What followed was honest, unhurried, and quietly unforgettable.
A small piece of music history, preserved.

The reels below tell the broader story.
Stage Of The Arts

A Celebration of Dressage - Catch The Step featuring Louisa Nicholls
Dressage is one of the most demanding and beautiful disciplines in all of equestrian sport - a conversation between horse and rider that takes years to perfect and a lifetime to master. In this episode of Catch The Step, host, rider, trainer, and competitor Louisa Nicholls brings that world to life with the ease and authority of someone who has devoted herself entirely to the craft.
Executive Produced by James Green and Produced and written by Marlies Green, Catch The Step was a Canadian equestrian instructional program built for riders who took their discipline seriously. This episode is something more - a genuine celebration of dressage at its finest.
In the Fast Lane
Not every story unfolds on a stage or in a studio. Here, James trades the spotlight for the passenger seat, riding shotgun with a professional stunt driver as tires grip, slide, and spin around the track. With adrenaline high and control firmly in the hands of a master behind the wheel, it’s a reminder that performance comes in many forms, and that a lifelong appreciation for skill, precision, and courage runs in the family.
Marlies Green | Drift to Gift
All Gas, All Heart
Some people watch from the sidelines. Marlies Green is not some people. Drift to Gift is a British Columbia charity initiative organised by Gaston Morrison of Hard Knox Stunts and the Dark Lotus Drift Team at Mission Raceway Park in Mission, BC. Professional drift drivers offer high-speed ride-alongs to raise funds for charities including Variety -- The Children's Charity of BC.
Equal parts adrenaline and generosity. Marlies is a natural fit. She climbed in without hesitation -- and brought the same fearless spirit she brings to everything else.
