Join us for an exciting evening of blues with The Smokestacks and the James Vickers Band. Both these bands are bringing it to stages on Vancouver Island and beyond, proving that the blues strikes hearts of any age.Lighting up Victoria stages is the six-piece blues band, The Smokestacks. Their sound combines classic blues standards with soul, originality and creativity. With a style ranging from smooth tunes to hard, gritty blues, they draw on inspiration from Howlin’ Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, Albert King and many other legendary blues giants.
With one album under their wings and about to record their second, the James Vickers Band released their first album in June 2024 and spent the summer playing at festivals, venues and private functions on Vancouver Island and the Mainland. Led by James Vickers, a 15-year-old Indigenous singer-songwriter-guitarist.
This exciting double bill features the next generation of blues artists on Vancouver Island. This outstanding talent shines a light on the future of blues performance.
