Victor Wainwright is arguably one of the world’s most electric live performers. Larger than life in every sense of the phrase, “the Piana from Savannah” is a consummate entertainer, and a piano player and vocalist of the highest caliber.

From American roots to boogie-woogie, honky-tonk, soul, and genuine rock ‘n’ roll, the man has the blues cornered from every corner. Regardless of where your personal musical proclivities may lie, Victor is guaranteed to knock your socks off.

You'll also get to see blues-rock power trio The Paul DesLauriers Band, who are opening the show

Victor’s band The Wildroots are comprised of some of the heaviest young players on the scene: the incomparably skilled and intuitive Memphis native Nick Black on lead electric guitar, Florida’s own powerhouse and human drum machine Billy Dean, and the incredible driver of the groove: sweet Mississippi bassist Terrence Grayson.

You’ll also get to see The Paul DesLauriers Band, who are opening for Victor and The Wildroods. The Paul DesLauriers Band is a blues-rock power trio from Montreal featuring Maple Blues Award winner guitarist-singer Paul DesLauriers, drummer Sam Harrisson, and bassist Greg Morency.

Treat you and your friends to a remarkable Hallowe’en evening of live blues music!
