Event Description
Who wants a little more ska and reggae before the end of summer? If your answer is yes you'll want to mark your calendars for Friday, September 12th when The Steadies and Phonosonics converge to bring us a night full of music, dancing and good times at Lucky Bar.
It's been two years since The Steadies played a public show in Victoria! For those that have followed the Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival and our year round shows since the pandemic, The Steadies have become one of the Island's go to bands when it comes to creating a reggae party. Their blend of ska, reggae, funk and other genres is infectious. Legendary frontman Earl Pereira is a three-time JUNO nominee and recent Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee. Band highlights include playing at Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival, opening for Gwen Stefani, Ziggy Marley, The Roots and performing at the Olympics, The Grey Cup, The JUNO Awards, and more.
Phonosonics are one of Canada's best ska/rocksteady groups. Fresh off of backing Sister Nancy at this year's historic and record breaking Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival, Phonosonics will be bringing their full catalogue of vintage style ska, rocksteady and reggae to this party. In the 10 years that Phonosonics have been active they have managed to earn the attention of artists such as Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones successfully releasing the single "Me and Mrs. Jones" which has become one of Leroy Sibbles' hottest singles and they have enjoyed airplay from legendary radio host David Rodigan who plays their music on his BBC Radio 1 Reggae Sundays program.
Doors at 7pm/Curfew 11pm! Tickets available on Ticketweb.ca and at Hoyne Brewing Company
