SUMMARY:The Slocan Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents\nThe Slocan Ramblers\nSaturday\, February 15\nDoors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nThe Slocan Ramblers (featured on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville TN\, 2020 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year Award Winner & 2019 Juno Award Nominee) are Canada’s bluegrass band to watch. Rooted in tradition\, fearlessly creative and possessing a bold\, dynamic sound\, The Slocans have become a leading light of today’s acoustic music scene. With a reputation for energetic live shows\, impeccable musicianship and an uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan\, The Slocans have been winning over audiences from Merlefest to RockyGrass and everywhere in between. \nOn their new album Up the Hill and Through the Fog\, the all-star Canadian roots ensemble channels the past two years of loss into a surprisingly joyous collection of twelve songs intended to uplift and help make sense of the world. Bluegrass music is nothing short of catharsis for The Slocan Ramblers. \nThough the past few years have brought the group accolades\, that same momentum was abruptly halted by the pandemic’s brutal impact on live music. Over the next year\, bandmates Adrian Gross and Darryl Poulsen both lost close family members and their bassist decided to step back to spend more time at home. They channeled these tumultuous changes into some of their most honest and direct compositions yet. Up the Hill and Through the Fog showcases the breadth of their varied influences while staying true to their roots in the rough and tumble bluegrass scene of Toronto’s no-nonsense bars and dancehalls. From Frank Evan’s classic\, dusty vocals\, to John Hartford-inspired lyrical musings\, it’s all buttressed by impeccable musicianship\, and emotionally raw songwriting from the three core members. This is roots music without pretension\, art powerful enough to cut through the fog of the past two years and chart a more hopeful course forward. \nSay hello to your new favourite band.\nThe Slocan Ramblers are:\nFrank Evans: Banjo/Vocals\nAdrian Gross: Mandolin\nDarryl Poulsen: Guitar/Vocals\nWith Charles James: Bass/Vocals

SUMMARY:Stephane Wrembel Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Jazz Society Present: Stephane Wrembel Quartet ft. Jean-Michel Pilc “Triptych”\nThursday\, January 23\, 2025. Doors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nGRAMMY-winning French jazz musician/composer Stephane Wrembel remains one of the preeminent guitarists in the world specializing in the traditional style inspired by Romani guitar master\, Django Reinhardt. Wrembel’s exceptional grasp of this style transcends jazz\, blues\, flamenco\, and rock while adding his own distinct flair. \nStephane Wrembel has released over 20 critically praised albums\, produced his own globally recognized annual music festival “Django A Gogo” since 2003\, and had his original compositions featured in filmmaker Woody Allen’s motion pictures. In addition to his song “Big Brother” in Vicky Cristina Barcelona\, Wrembel’s irresistibly catchy “Bistro Fada” in the Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris secured the GRAMMY win for “Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media” in 2013. Wrembel continued to turn heads in the jazz world in 2019 when he released the highly regarded Django L’Impressionniste\, refocusing the spotlight on 17 of Reinhardt’s illustrious preludes for solo guitar. His NYC-based group\, Django New Orleans\, sold out eight shows at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2021. He has headlined Jazz at Lincoln Center\, Carnegie Hall\, The Town Hall in NYC\, and The Lyon Opera House in France\, as well as shared stages with Esperanza Spalding\, Mark O’Connor\, Sam Bush\, Elvis Costello\, The Roots\, and Al Di Meola. \nNow\, Stephane Wrembel brings his 2024 three-part recording series\, Triptych\, to Sidney’s Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre in time for Django Reinhardt’s 115th birthday on January 23. Joining Stephane Wrembel’s Quartet on stage will be special guest and Paris-born\, Montreal-based piano virtuoso Jean-Michel Pilc. This evening is set to be a truly unparalleled live experience for all music-lovers.
