Peach & Quiet have had to pull out of this show due to illness! We are sorry to see them go & look fortward to their return. In their place - Adam!

Adam Dobres has fully given himself to his art and is a gifted guitarist with a natural talent at telling stories with his music. He fuses a rich organic sensibility with an almost exotic sense of space and melody.

On his latest album, Kin, he guides us on a musical journey with melodies that weave captivating stories of joy, struggle, courage, longing, and love. With ‘Kin’ Adam builds upon his strong solo debut offering in 2017 which garnered him critical acclaim including nominations for ‘Instrumental Artist of the Year’ in the West Coast Music Awards and his song ‘Orca's Jig’ for ‘Best Roots Recording’ in the Vancouver Island Music Awards. 

On ‘Kin’ Adam moves eloquently and confidently through melodic finger-style to uninhibited gypsy jazz, full circle through gentle and serene lullabies while not forgetting a rendezvous in the moonlit shadows to dance the circle of an alchemist's dream. 

Career highlights…

Over the past 20 years Adam has toured extensively around the world as a guitarist for a variety of groups.  The Wailin’ Jennys, Toni Childs, Pierre Schryer, Dermot Byrne (Altan), Daniel Lapp, Dustin Bentall, and Ridley Bent.  A recent highlight was touring as an opening band with the Ruth Moody Band for Mark Knopfler (2013, 2015) which included 8 shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, UK.  Adam has also appeared on the acclaimed radio show the Prairie Home Companion with The Wailin' Jennys.  He recorded on their latest album, "Fifteen", which recently hit the #1 spot on the bluegrass charts as well as earning a Juno Nomination in 2018. 

Tickets $15 at the door :) 8pm show.
