VANCOUVER ISLAND DYNAMITE - Brother Hubbard - March 2024

Victoria, BC, may be known for its serene coastline and laid-back charm, but Vancouver Island Dynamite is flipping the script with grooves that hit like a funky tidal wave. This powerhouse band dives deep into the jazzy, soulful sounds of the ’70s to the ’90s, delivering a jazz/funk fusion vibe that’s both nostalgic and fresh
Their setlist is a jazz/funk celebration. From Grover Washington Jr to Yellowjackets, Herbie Hancock to Stevie Wonder, and David Sanborn to The Crusaders, they bring the icons to life all the while digging into lesser-known classic grooves and turning them into showstoppers. Each performance is a burst of tight rhythms, fiery solos, and undeniable chemistry. Their grooves are slick, their solos are sharp, and their energy is contagious. When Vancouver Island Dynamite takes the stage, it’s a full-on jazz funk explosion.
