One of Canada’s most renowned guitarists, Eric St-Laurent arrives in B.C. as part of his Canadian tour.

After 10 years as a sought after ‘session-guy’ in Berlin, St-Laurent has settled in Toronto where he is creating a buzz with his genre-bending latest project, the Eric St-Laurent Trio.

The trio performs in Courtenay March 18 at the Elk’s Hall at 7:30 p.m.

Their highly anticipated second album Ruby sees jazz guitar riffs set to the unorthodox percussion of the djembe drum, traditional Turkish melodies set to disco, African songs combined with Chicago blues solos or Balkan folk songs with heavy metal bass sounds.
