Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performer Marianne Grittani and friends at 9:00pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door
Salt Spring Islander Marianne Grittani is a seasoned performer whose live shows range from spirited to intimate and are always completely engaging! She exudes musicality as she presents original and cover tunes infused with rhythm, well-crafted lyrics, and soulful, compelling vocals. Her songwriting style is informed by swing, R & B, country, blues, gospel, and folk: all of those flavours can be savoured in her work as she makes them authentically her own. A multi-instrumentalist as well (guitar, ukulele, mandolin), Marianne’s album ‘Into the Shimmering’ was nominated for a West Coast Music Award and received international airplay. Although she delights as a solo performer, Marianne ups the ante with more musical texture when playing with any number of her talented musician friends, incuding VFMS favourite Rose Birney who joins her tonight. Don’t be surprised if other very special guests join in, too!
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
