Tickets: $58-$73.25 from the Royal McPherson box office or rmts.bc.ca Why: Whether he’s performing solo or in the company of his band, Bruce Cockburn makes musical magic.
Lyrically, he’s one of the best songwriters Canada has produced, but his guitar playing is worthy of equal acclaim; many consider his guitar playing gifts on par with the greats of any generation. He’ll be on his own tonight, which means extra attention can be paid to the nuances of his talent, including his considerable and entertaining on-stage banter.
Why: Acclaimed banjoist Tony Furtado first visited Victoria in 2012, with fellow Portland, Oregon, performer Luke Price in tow. The pair are back on the Island tonight for a concert at Hermann’s Upstairs, with loads of new material to perform and another roots music favourite along for the ride. Price and Furtado are national champions at their respective instruments, and their bandmate, mandolinist John Reischman, is well-decorated, too. Plenty of top-tier picking is to be expected.
