Road Trip Boogie (made up of Pam Paton and Liz Powers) was born in Nova Scotia, from an afternoon jam session which was the beginning of a songwriting extravaganza. Pam and Liz knew they were on to something good when folks commented about the uplifting, enthusiastic energy they brought to the stage along with their ability to engage their audiences. Their vocal harmonies, upbeat and engaging personalities, songwriting expertise, and creative interpretation of obscure cover tunes intrigue audiences.

Pam brings the rhythmic drive to the duo’s sound, along with her experience crafting and arranging songs that illustrate her originality and musical proficiency. Liz adds the melodic aspect of the duo’s sound with her heartfelt accordion, melodica, and harmonicas, that demonstrate her artistry and enthusiasm for music. Their spontaneous banter and storytelling resonate with their audiences as they connect and share their dynamic kinship. They offer an eclectic mix of original songs, instrumentals, and covers that will have everyone singing along on this extraordinary musical adventure.

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.
