SUMMARY:St. Patrick’s Day Celebration with The Slieves & Q Brooke Bachand
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening of all things Irish as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Featuring The Slieves along with multi-award winning artist Q.Brooke Bachand it will be an evening of high energy foot stomping music you won’t want to miss! \nThe Slieves are a West Coast Celtic band hailing from Victoria and Duncan B.C.\, the traditional territories of the Lekwungen\, WSÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun peoples. Brought together by their love of traditional Irish Music\, this group has brought Celtic folk and Celtic-inspired original music to the coast of B.C. for well over a decade. The trio draws inspiration from such groups as Dervish\, The Bothy Band\, The Pogues\, The Chieftains\, Great Big Sea\, The Irish Rovers\, and others. The talented members include the magical Tasia MacKay (Irish flute and whistles\, 5 string banjo\, vocals)\, the accomplished Jeremy Walsh (guitar\, vocals) and the foot-stomping Andrew Morris MacKay (bodhran\, spoons\, vocals). \nQ. Brooke Bachand (they/them)\, winner of two Irish Music Awards\, is a consummate performer who is clearly at ease on stage. Known for their powerful fiddle\, captivating vocals and their contagious energy\, their love of Folk and Celtic music is always at the forefront as they thrill audiences with energetic and spirited performances that showcase their fiddle & vocal talents as well as their love of story-sharing. \nOnce a teen fiddle star \, Q has blossomed & grown into their (non-binary) gender identity and life’s purpose & are singing rebel ballads and folk songs (a capella & self-accompanied)\, interspersed with rip-roaring fiddle tunes to help heal the soul. Their sets will equally inspire as they will bring you to tears or have you clapping along (& stomping your feet) ! \nThe Upstairs Lounge is a licensed all ages restaurant and bar\, doors open at 6 pm for dinner service\, the concert starts at 7:30 pm. \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions.

SUMMARY:The Lonesome Ace Stringband
DESCRIPTION:Masters of their trade\, The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit\, skill and abandon to Americana music\, bridging old-time\, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless. \nThe trio’s sound is anchored in the fiddle and clawhammer banjo of John Showman and Chris Coole. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone\, James Mceleney\, and Lotus Wight). The band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a stringband\, to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer.  Whether singing about climate change\, modern love\, BBQ techniques or life’s inevitable existential crises\, the band cuts to the core. They can also turn and churn out a tune with so much verve that it will make your heart spin and set the dance floor swirling. \nThere’s a reason why they are a smokin’ hot outfit – they’ve put in their time. In 2007\, Lonesome Ace Stringband took up residency in Toronto’s legendary Dakota Tavern\, routinely playing 10 sets of music every weekend. They went on to spend seven years as the house band before ever taking the show on the road or recording a note. Those years of musical percolation honed them into a group that thinks and plays as one – something that comes from clocking thousands of on-stage hours together.  Outside of their trio work\, each musician is a veteran of the Canadian music scene\, sought after for teaching camps\, recording sessions and touring with some of the best artists in North America. \nThe band’s recording journey mirrors the arc of their on-stage evolution.  Their early catalogue is anchored in inventive and engaging versions of  traditional repertoire punctuated by original compositions.  Now with more than a decade of group music-making under their belts\, they’re releasing their fifth album\, a feisty and mighty collection of all-original material titled ‘Try To Make It Fly’ (October 13\, 2023). And much like their seamless live performances where they trade-off lead vocals\, each member has brought their songwriting voice to the album. \nTheir touring has taken them well beyond their Toronto origin.  They’ve become festival favourites at Rockygrass\, Celtic Connections\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Merlefest and regularly tour the USA\, UK\, Germany and\, of course\, Canada. \nCall Lonesome Ace Stringband whatever genre you want – they are just unorthodox enough to be brilliant. \nhttps://lonesomeace.com \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions.
