Victoria Blues Society

For over 15 years, Blues Foundation Award winner Laurie Morvan has been touring extensively throughout the USA and Canada, along with short stints in Mexico and Europe. She's built a career playing guitar-driven, rocking blues, with a back pocket full of well-warranted swagger, and songs that reflect true craftsmanship. In an era where fewer and fewer artists are truly aware of (and engage) their audience, she is a true entertainer; a musical ringmaster leading her devastatingly tight band through a myriad of twists and turns with a level of finesse and musical intuition that only comes from years of working together.

September 8, 9, 10 at Bullen Park in Esquimalt. Many great Blues acts this year including The Smokestacks, Wailin Al Walker, Jack Semple and Brandon Isaak. Check out the schedule for the complete line up.

In the meantime, check out some of the terrific festivals going on this summer.

The Dream Blues Camp in Penticton is running again this year. World class instructors are coming to the Dream Cafe in Penticton, October 2, 3, and 4, 2023.

Our Sunday Blues Services has been so lucky all these years. Most jams like the one in Nanaimo have a cover charge. The Nanaimo one is $10. We have a beautiful venue and great turnouts at Hermann's Upstairs, but lately the liquor sales and donations are falling short of covering the costs for staff/sound, etc. I'm sorry to announce that this Sunday will be the last free blues jam. Starting in August, we will need to charge a nominal fee of $5.00 at the door for Sunday Blues Services. JAMMERS WILL CONTINUE TO GET IN FREE! We feel its the only way we can continue in this wonderful room. We have lost so many music venues in recent years, so we want do all we can to help this one survive!! A very tough decision we hope you understand. We hope we have your support!! Thank you! Deb/Kelly/Andy/Phil - The Deb Rhymer Band.
