Suzie has a voice you’ve heard a thousand times and one you’ll never forget. It soars, it growls, it whispers and it shouts from a deep, deep well of emotion. The pure joy she exudes when she plays her guitars is so worth the show.

Since1994 Ethan has played throughout western Canada, as well as legendary stages in Memphis and Chicago; and at festivals, theatres and clubs across Europe from the Alps to the Baltic Sea.

At our event last Friday March 6th, VBS was thrilled to receive a most generous donation of $3,000, presented by Frank Hudson of the Victoria Whisky Festival. These funds will be directed to our John Fisher Memorial Legacy Fund which supports blues education and training. With wonderful support like this, along with funds raised from all the great folks who buy 50/50 tickets at our events, VBS is able to support 3 students to attend Hornby Island Blues Camp in May. Thank you so much for your generous support!!
