Artist Lineup
Pink Martini
June 24th 7:30pm
Royal Theatre
Now in its 31st year, the unstoppable engine of joy that is Pink Martini continues to bring founder Thomas Lauderdale’s mission of multi-cultural connection and inclusion to concert stages on six continents.
Kokoroko
June 22nd 7:30pm
Royal Theatre
London’s Kokoroko are a horn-led septet from London, blending West African highlife and Afrobeat with funk, pop, and neo-soul into warm, danceable grooves. Rooted in the Black diaspora, they deliver an uplifting, rhythm-forward set that celebrates heritage while pushing into new sounds.
Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez (BEATrio)
June 23th 7:30pm
Royal Theatre
The new all-star trio of premier banjoist Béla Fleck, harpist Edmar Castañeda, and drummer Antonio Sánchez features instrumentation that one might call unusual, unless you’re familiar with 19-time GRAMMY winner and 39-time nominee Fleck: the genre-blurring virtuoso who has expanded the possibilities of the banjo more than anyone in history.
M.E.B. (Miles Electric Band)
Celebrating 100 Years of Miles Davis
June 19th 7:30pm
Royal Theatre
Emmy and GRAMMY-winning producer, drummer, and nephew of Miles Davis, Vince Wilburn Jr. founded the Miles Electric Band (M.E.B) to bring together a rotating ensemble of Miles Davis alumni and the next generation of modern jazz stars.
Snacktime
(Triple Bill w/ Geminicrab and SHEBAD)
June 26th 5:30pm
Bullen Park
Snacktime is a seven-piece soul/funk/alternative band from Philadelphia, known for funky, feel-good brass and genre-blending energy that pulls from jazz, rap, rock, punk, and R&B. They started in 2020 playing free outdoor shows to huge crowds and have since become a breakout live force, selling out headliners and supporting major tours.
Etran de L'Aïr
(Twin Bill w/ Wesli)
June 27th 7:00pm
Bullen Park
Etran de L’Aïr (aka “stars of the Aïr”) bring the heat of Agadez, Niger—Saharan rock/desert blues driven by hypnotic twin-guitar lines, sun-baked melodies, and ecstatic, dance-forward grooves. Rooted in a pan-African Agadez guitar tradition, their music transmits a message while lighting up a full-on celebration.
Tickets to all of Funk ‘n Soul in the Township and the Presentation Series performances are available to purchase through the Victoria Jazz Society ONLY. Please purchase your ticket online via our artist pages or contact us directly.
