VITALS Stage
Noon Dale Manason -this man performs covers alongside his electronic ‘band’ in a most satisfying fashion
1pm Steph Cutler -1/3 of local trio Firebird, she spreads her wings with these performances of her original material- she accompanies herself on piano
2pm Jonny and Derrick - from Sooke they play a mix of classic rock / blues / folk / and originals – Derricks guitar adds some jazzy undertones to Jonny Mack’s originals
3pm Carlson’s -a weekly chance for the young dance students to keep working on their routines all summer long- most gratifying to watch
4pm The Ranters -with her autoharp and him with his mandolin/guitar work together these local folks show off their vocal harmonies whilst performing familiar folk tunes
5pm Jared Popma -singer/songwriter born in the valley and now a Nanaimo resident, his music is a true observation of his wonderfully almost naïve pureness/honesty
6pm Monte and the Pythons- having hosted many years of musical jams throughout the valley, this well known performer has a good team of players as of late and the journey taken on these original tunes is worth your time
7pm James Meyer -never sure who he is bringing along but it is always entertaining, musical theatre being his forte means it is always joyous
City Square Stage
8:30pm Paddy Rolling Stone-a musical tribute to Shane McGowan of the Pogues
