![]() Welcome Back, Folks! Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe
As legally required, the Victoria Folk Music Society follows all Public Health Orders. Since COVID-19 restrictions have been subject to change, sometimes with very little notice, we will do our best to keep well-informed and follow the most current rules. In the case of masking and social distancing, although public orders (PHOs) may no longer be in place, we strongly encourage everyone to continue these practices while at the Folk club.
Many of our members are older or have health challenges that put them at increased risk of infection, and such kindness goes a long way to respect and protect those who may be most vulner- able. While it should go without saying, if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19 or any other infectious condition, please stay home and take care until you know you are well.
— Carol Aileen, for The Folk

June 19 Tammy Fassaert | ||||||||||||||||
![]() Vancouver Island-based Tammy Fassaert is a fine songwriter and compelling performer. Tammy has a strong clear unadorned singing style; Victoria’s Times-Colonist described it as “…the sound of wood smoke and clear mountain streams, ancient echos of folk and country music before the businessmen in designer cowboy boots stole the music.” Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine comments on her musical depth: “She’s incorporated all manner of sophisticated and earthy American musical influences in her into her own superb vocal style.” After touring and recording on upright bass and vocals with West Coast luminaries Laurie Lewis, and the Good Ol’ Persons, Tammy launched her solo career in the early 1990’s. Having gone well beyond her original roots in traditional Bluegrass to become a welcome figure in contemporary folk and acoustic/roots circles, Tammy has performed all over North America, Western Europe, and Japan and Taiwan. After a 10-year hiatus, Tammy has been coaxed out of musical hibernation and is happy to be performing and teaching again. Yay! | ||||||||||||||||
