Three Worlds is a trio of veteran instrumentalists who combine technical brilliance with a shared sense of musical adventure. Their groundbreaking sound is the essence of music without borders, an exotic, unique synthesis of Latin, South and East Asian, jazz, baroque, and Celtic influences.

Brad Prevedoros is a guitar virtuoso noted for his exciting live performances. He has sold over 400,000 CDs since his 1988 recording debut. Percussionist Niel Golden has been a world-music pioneer since graduating from York University in ethnomusicology and studying under tabla master Pandit Sharda Sahai. Greg Joy, whose eighteen albums have sold over 250,000 copies worldwide, is a master of the guitar, flute, mandolin, and hammered dulcimer. He studied classical guitar and music theory at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

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.
