Bijoux Du Bayou � the �jewels of the swamp� � is a Vancouver Island band whose music combines Cajun, zydeco, swing, calypso, and a few other flavours to create a sound that would make the Amish want to do the Bugaloo! Tonight�s lineup includes Sam Torrance (guitar, vocals), Bill Winter (accordion, vocals), Rod Grey (bass, vocals), and Mike Regimbal (fiddle, mandolin).

As an additional treat, the Bijoux will metamorphose temporarily into Big Mike and the Riffriders � and zydeco into country-style folk � as Sam, Bill, and Mike are joined by Mike Raymer (guitar, vocals) and Joy Kruger (percussion, vocals).

Our feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria�s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening�s line-up.
