The Hornby Island Blues Workshop takes place every spring on Hornby Island. Each year they invite a dozen or so of the finest Canadian blues and roots musicians around to share their knowledge and inspiration with some lucky students. We thought - why not catch some of these great players, singers and all-round entertainers, and get them to do a show for us on the way? One of Vancouver's own teams up with three of the best from the rest of Canada. It's a simple but foolproof formula! This is the SIXTH year that we have presented this delightful showcase. Doors 7pm, Show at 8:00

Rick will be playing at the Art Show on Sat. Apr. 27, all the concerts associated with the event, on island and including The Blues Odyssey at Campbell River BC on Sat. May 4. Rick will also present a Blues in the School on Hornby and will be available for individual lessons while on the island. Tickets are already for sale.

Presented by Harmony Concerts, here is an excellent opportunity to see Rick with his long-time friend and collaborator Alec Fraser in an afternoon concert! 4 o'clock show! Tickets are $25/$10 youth +HST

We’ve just learned that one of our favourite troubadours, Rick Fines, will be departing for Germany for two years. As an annual performer at the Old Church his absence will leave a big hole in our line up. Typical of Rick’s generosity, he has agreed to fit us in for one more performance prior to his departure. Come out for the show and wish him well.

Rick and his family are moving to Europe for a couple years, so come see him in his Farewell Concert! Rick will play a collection of his originals from his many albums. Guests will include Alec Fraser, Rob Phillips, Richard Simpkins, Carling Stephen, Kevin Goss and a special performance from blues piano great Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne (sponsored by Jo Pillon Realtor)! Not to be missed!
