Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performer Kray Van Kirk at 9:00pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door
Folk singers often try to one-up each other with obscure details and pastimes. No slouch in that regard, Kray Van Kirk has not one but two obscure distinctions. First, he holds a Ph.D. in fisheries population dynamics modeling, and second, he does a spot-on impression of Japan's nineteenth century blind swordsman, Zatoichi!
A fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone, Van Kirk set science aside to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. In a world divided, he offers an evening of folk Americana on 6 & 12-string guitars with songs of heroes and hope, so absolutely everyone, of every identity and history, can know that they are not alone. Of this charming, Quixotic performer, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote that Van Kirk is "what every singer-songwriter should aspire to”!
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.
