Jilli Martini hosts this weekly event each Tuesday night at the Avalanche Bar & Grill.
Her band opens each Tuesday at 8 with a set of their own, then turns the stage over to a featured guest at 9. Then the house band returns to close the evening with a third set ending it all at 11.
Just a friendly reminder to fellow musicians out there, that this showcase night is unlike other venues that offer an open jam night. This format is to provide an opportunity for local bands/ musicians to promote themselves by playing a full set of music. If you are interested in being a featured guest to play a full set, then contact the Avalanche Bar & Grill on Facebook.
Next week’s special guest is 5Play.
This dynamic band has been playing the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island together for three years since they met at a Vancouver Island Music Workshop. A group of musicians with a lifetime of musical experience each from very different musical backgrounds.
Everything from swing to rock to folk, from the 1930s to 2012, original tunes and covers with rhythm, humour and style. Their mission: To provide a musical experience that will leave you smiling, exhausted from dancing, and humming tunes all the way home.
Music with no other aim than making you happy and leaving you happy.
