AUG 26, AUG 27TH
This is a popular event in victoria put on by the Victoria Jazz Society, with blues lovers coming out their shells to shake out and enjoy the music
If you’re a blues lover, you better make your way down !
The event spans the entire weekend ( friday through sunday)
The free perfomances at ship point on saturday from noon to 5 was preceded by a long lineup before it began, but the music was worth it !
Four performances took place during that time, including claire coupland band, big hank and the toasters, garrett t willie, and bill johnson and shades of blue
Four free performances also happened on sunday, the smokestacks, melissa endean, beautiful maladies and brett smith-daniels
There were also ticketed performances friday through sunday that took place in the evening/night , at Hermann’s Jazz ($28 each) and the Ship Point ($39 each)
The headliners for these were : Samantha Fish, Fantastic Negrito, Allison Russel, Mazacote, and Boy Golden
A nice and sunny day (perhaps a bit smoky unfortunately) was the perfect setup for this musical event !
