https://jazzvictoria.ca/fantastic-negrito/
Hailing from Oakland, California, three-time Grammy award-winning blues/soul/rock singer-songwriter Fantastic Negrito’s music transcends from foot stomping blues to a funk stampede. He won the Grammy award for “Best Contemporary Blues Album” for three albums, for The Last Days of Oakland (2016), Please Don’t Be Dead (2019), and Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? (2020), and has now released his extraordinary 2022 album, White Jesus Black Problems. Despite a troubled childhood, a doomed major label deal that briefly put him off music, and a near-fatal car crash, Fantastic Negrito would go on to win the first ever NPR Tiny Desk Contest in 2015, tour with Sturgill Simpson, Chris Cornell, and most recently Bruce Springsteen, collaborate with Sting and E-40, launch his own Storefront Records label, and perform at Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Newport Folk, Byron Bay Blues, and other major festivals. Don’t miss out on Fantastic Negrito and his band’s return to Victoria!
Opening for this evening will be blues singer-songwriter Ndidi O, a two-time Juno-nominated and WCMA “Blues Artist of the Year.”

https://jazzvictoria.ca/boy-golden/
Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter Boy Golden’s purpose is to enjoy each day and make good music. Since releasing his debut album, Church of Better Daze in 2021, he’s played major summer festivals and toured with The Sheepdogs. With hopeful, fresh, and upbeat songs, such as “KD & Lunch Meat” (featured on the Zone 91-3 and charted to #1 on Alternative Radio), the blues- and country-tinged harmonies of Boy Golden are most heavily inspired by the blues-inflected style of J.J. Cale — even down to his use of a drum machine as the rhythm section. However, Boy Golden’s general love of old country, blues, and rock 'n roll permeates everything from the jam band-style instrumentation to his vocal delivery.
Opening for Samantha Fish ft. Jesse Dayton on Friday, August 25.
