Soulidified

January 11, 2025

Joe Auty returns to the VJC stage, headlining a very exciting band.

Neo-soul is the fusion/crossover of the soulful sounds of Marvin Gaye or Curtis Mayfield with beautiful jazz harmonies and infectious high energy grooves. If you are a fan of Motown, soul, R&B, and hip hop, this is a show not to be missed!

Joe has been a successful freelance trumpet player and soloist for many years now in both Canada and the US, and plays with a fiery, groove focused sound in the style of Roy Hargrove or Clifford Brown. Joe will collaborate with Campbell Ryga who will add his exquisite taste, sensitivity, and beautiful harmonic expression to the sound of the band.

Campbell is a legendary saxophonist and is arguably one of the most accomplished saxophonists in the world. He moved to Kamloops recently, so it seemed fitting for Joe and Campbell to collaborate with the goal to bring these new sounds and ideas to the Valley.

Joe and Campbell are joined by some of the finest local rhythm section musicians; Stefan Bienz on bass, Loni Moger on guitar, and Will Freisen on drums.

Seating : At this time there are no table reservations. All seating is first come, first served.
