Apr 12 Steluţa | ||||||||||||||||||
Steluţa (“little star” in Romanian) is a Victoria-based quartet playing a constellation of musical styles from Balkan and Eastern European folk dances, to a bit of Celtic, to some distinctive original tunes with a splash of Classical influence. This stellar quartet features: Martina Peladeau (flutes, recorders, voice) who studied in Germany and later became the sound of West Coast flute on the rocky shores outside of the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino; Kate Rhodes (violin, viola, accordion, voice) who played in the Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Victoria symphonies, and brings a flair of virtuosity to the group’s repertoire; Douglas Hensley (guitars, oud, compositions) who plays Renaissance to Persian to Classical and is a guitar instructor at the Victoria Conservatory of Music; and Alex Olson (basses, mandolins, percussion, compositions) who is also a long-time Victoria Symphony member and a veteran of many local Folk Music ensembles; and special guest Kevin Budd (pan pipes)! | ||||||||||||||||||
Apr 19 Peach & Quiet | ||||||||||||||||||
Peach and Quiet, the musical duo of Jonny Miller & Heather Read, have been enchanting audiences since they first burst onto the music scene in 2020 with their debut album “Just Beyond the Shine”. They released their second album, “Beautiful Thing”, in 2023 – a testament to hope, courage, and gratitude in challenging times, affirming that life is indeed “a beautiful thing”! Expertly produced by Nashville’s Steve Dawson, the album was widely praised by critics who called it “divine” and “utterly original” for its unique combination of 1960s Laurel Canyon nostalgia and contemporary sounds. Peach and Quiet are further evolving their sound to embrace a West Coast Roots-Soul vibe with new releases from renowned producer Daniel Klenner including “Bright Side of the Road”, “One of These Days”, and “Life’s Basket”; Get ready to be swept away by irresistible melodies and heartfelt lyrics – this duo is just getting started! | ||||||||||||||||||
Apr 26 Morgan Davis | ||||||||||||||||||
Morgan Davis is a Juno-award-winning solo artist, interpreting the Blues with deep respect for its traditions while also performing Contemporary Blues of his own on electric guitar, slide guitar, and 3-string cigar-box guitar. Morgan grew up in Detroit during the 1950s, absorbing the music of the times – early Rock and Roll and R&B along with the beginnings of the Motown Sound. He moved to Toronto in 1958 where he began to seriously study the music he loved most: early Country Blues. He began playing professionally in 1971 and through the kindness and generosity of artists like Sunnyland Slim and Johnny Shines, Morgan learned from and performed with these giants of the Blues. This year marks Morgan’s 55th year on the road and he fully expects to be on that road for the rest of his life, playing the music he loves! | ||||||||||||||||||
