Victor Anthony plays old-school roots music, Southern style. The set list is never the same, but you can expect bluesy originals and carefully selected pages from the Great American Songbook. The one thing you can take to the bank is that every song will be delivered with conviction – nothing fancy, just the facts, and a bagful of juicy chords.

A fulltime musician since 1985, he’s played in forty-eight of the fifty states, across the pond, and now he’s taking on British Columbia from his new home in the Gulf Islands, where he lives with his wife, Joëlle. His CDs have received rave reviews, international attention, and lots of North American airplay.

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.
