SUMMARY:Artful : The Poets
DESCRIPTION:Join host Steven J. Thompson as he welcomes our feature poet Jeremy Loveday. Jeremy’s feature spot will be followed by an open mic. Sign up at the door for the open mic\, 5 minutes max per poet\, $10 or pwyc. \nJeremy Loveday is a poet\, arts educator\, and community builder from Victoria\, BC\, on the territory of the lәk’wәŋәn People. He founded and served as the longtime artistic director of the Victorious Voices youth poetry festival. Jeremy’s dynamic performances earned him the title of Victoria Poetry Slam Grand Champion three times. In 2020\, he was honoured with the Zaccheus Jackson Nyce Memorial Award. His work has been published in reputable platforms such as Huffington Post\, CV2\, Funicular Magazine\, National Observer\, CBC\, Claudia\, and Best Canadian Poetry 2023. \nLoveday’s performance to celebrate his Book Release: \nMaybe the Starling\, the debut full-length collection from award-winning poet and dynamic spoken word performer Jeremy Loveday\, invites us to explore the intersections of crisis and care\, grief and joy—a testament to poetry’s power to ignite change and nurture the human spirit. \nIn a world marked by inequity and climate crisis\, Maybe the Starling is a poetic response to uncertainty\, confronting urgent questions while offering both salve and spark. Rooted in a deep love for the land and an abiding wonder for nature’s abundance\, these poems illuminate the ways we belong to each other and the world around us. \nFrom mosh pits and Elvis impersonators to the quiet patience of growing food\, these poems refuse to turn away from contradiction—they embrace it. Maybe the Starling offers both comfort and challenge\, reminding us that poetry is a powerful call to wonder\, to witness\, and to action.

SUMMARY:Friday I'm in Love! A Tribute to The Cure & other New Wave/Goth Favs
DESCRIPTION:12 Vancouver Island original musical acts each playing 12 minute sets of their interpretations of songs by The Cure and other New Wave/Goth/Dark wave/post-punk icons from that amazing 80s musical era. \nIncluding: Amy Muloin & the Alley Flowers\, Avro\, Bath Slut\, Night Mirrors\, Pink Plagues\, Pranatricks\, Rudeboy\, Short Circuit\, Soft Top\, Sonder\, Trip Sitters\, & Valley Edge Choir. \nPlus drag performances by Kara Nedge and Rat King! \nCVGBs returns with their third fundraiser tribute show. After sold out events honouring and re-imagining the music of first Nirvana in 2023\, then David Bowie in 2024\, this coming Friday the 13th of February takes a bit of a detour with the music of the Cure\, mixed with the anthems of other New Wave/Goth/Dark wave/post-punk icons from that amazing 80s musical era. The concept is the same: A dozen radically different Vancouver Island original acts will do twelve-minute sets with the intent to play songs they love\, but not necessarily as you might expect them to sound. These are not straight cover versions! The musical acts are all donating 100% of their performance funds towards Foundry Comox Valley\, a safe space where youth can get free\, confidential help and support\, without judgement. https://foundrybc.ca/centre/comox-valley/

SUMMARY:Comox Valley Songwriters Circle
DESCRIPTION:Each month singer/songwriters gather to share their tunes at Artful : The Gallery. The range of abilities\, experience and genres welcomes musicians who appreciate the challenge (and the deadline!) of creating a new song each month. \nThe circle provides a place to be inspired\, seek feedback and to be\nable to hear what other creatives are working on. Most musicians bring along their\nguitars or ukuleles\, although some sing a cappella or use the in-house piano for accompaniment. \nHost Ashley Sykes’s love of connecting with other artists provides motivation to write\nand perform in the supportive group. The circle does not provide instruction; it provides an opportunity to perform your song\, and to be impacted by others doing the same. \nAttendance is by donation ($10 or pwyc). The group welcomes newcomers\, and the\nonly criteria is that the songs performed are original.

SUMMARY:Maureen F. Fitzgerald PHD Book Launch for "Wake the F Up"
DESCRIPTION:Join Author Maureen Fitzgerald PhD as she launches her latest publication\, “Wake the F Up – the Essential Guide to Spiritual Awakening and Freedom”. The evening will include a presentation from the author\, opportunity to purchase her book and a reception to follow. \n\nEvery mystic has said the same thing: We can only end suffering and be truly happy if we wake up. But how do we do this?\n\nIn her engaging presentation\, Maureen will describe her five-step process to awakening from an egoic-state of consciousness to awake awareness. You will learn how to use your life difficulties for opportunities to realize your True Self and:\n\n transcend the limits of your egoic mind;\n loosen the limiting beliefs in your shadow; and\n unlock the freedom and peace that is already within you.\n\nFitzgerald combines Western psychology and Eastern philosophy while referring to the words of the mystics including Eckhart Tolle\, Byron Katie\, Michael Singer\, Loch Kelly\, Adyashanti and Osho.\n\nCome and learn how to raise your consciousness and move from a place of darkness and ignorance to a time of abundance and freedom.\n\nAs Eckhart Tolle says: “Your main purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on this planet – because it is the purpose of humanity.”

SUMMARY:Ramble at the Big Yellow Hall
DESCRIPTION:The third installment of the Ramble presented by Highway 19 Concerts and hosted by J. Plank (Jeff Plankenhorn).\n\nInspired by the late\, great Levon Helm’s legendary Midnight Ramble in Woodstock\, NY\, each Ramble shines a spotlight on three songwriters from emerging and established local talents to show stopping guest headliners\, all backed by the One Spot Ramblers\, a stellar Vancouver Island house band led by Plank. The Ramble is all about building musical community\, and creating unique and unforgettable nights of song and music in our region.\n\nFeaturing:Paul Pigat – guitar\, vocals & songsSue Decker – guitars\, vocals & songsAJ Lontayao – guitar & vocalsMaya McCutcheon – vocalsJ. Plank – musical director\, host\, guitars and vocalsG. Lee Worden – guitars\, keys and vocalsRick May – bassDallas Carrie – drums\, vocals\n\nIn addition to leading his rockabilly powerhouse trio Cousin Harley\, Vancouver’s Paul Pigat has quietly spent a career creating sweet sounds for some of the best artists in the country. Over the years his distinctive guitar playing has graced albums and stages of none other than Jeff Beck\, Jackob Dylan\, Michael Kaeshammer\, Albert Lee\, James Burton\, Brian Setzer\, The Reverend Horton Heat\, Neko Case\, Jim Byrnes\, The Sojourners\, Carolyn Mark… and on and on! Blessed with a jazz man’s sheen\, a rockabilly heart and a hobo’s soul\, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination like a magnet. In many ways\, it’s a mystery why Paul Pigat isn’t a household name yet. Maybe he’d be a lot easier to pin down if he wasn’t so darn good at so many different things.\n\nVictoria singer-songwriter Sue Decker’s rich and warm voice\, distinctive slide guitar playing\, and authentic songwriting make for a powerful combination. Ever since learning to play her first guitar chords in a bluegrass jam at the age of thirty-five\, Sue has been discovering her truth in song. In 2024 she released her second album “Keeping Time” with producer Steve Dawson which drew comparisons to Ry Cooder and Lucinda Williams.\n\nStill in their teens\, multi-instrumentalist AJ Lontayao and vocalist Maya McCutcheon have establishing themselves as tremendous talents to watch in the Campbell River music scene. On guitar and vocals\, Lontayao leads the rock band Exit 30\, winners of battle of the band accolades all over the Island. Both are regulars at Highway 19’s high school open mic nights and Georgia Strait Jazz Society jams\, they also perform as a duo and with their jazz quartet Mood Swings where McCutcheon’s Winehouse-esque pipes are on full display.\nJ. Plank (Jeff Plankenhorn) is a highly respected musician known for his skill as a slide guitarist\, songwriter\, and vocalist\, both as a solo artist and as a sought-after session musician. After years in the Austin music scene\, Plank now calls Campbell River home while he continues to tour across North America and Europe. Lee Worden\, Rick May\, and Dallas Carrie round out the house band of Island aces.\nThe Ramble is a family friendly\, licensed event.\nKids are free with a paying adult\, teens pay what you can at the door.\nThe Ramble is supported by the Province of BC through the BC Arts Council and BC Live Performance Network.\n\nTickets: $30.00 Admission (+applicable taxes & fees) Kids are free with a paying adult\, teens pay what you can at the door.
