Event Description

Join us on the first Thursday of every month for an unforgettable evening celebrating raw talent and original music! We’re shining the spotlight on three handpicked local singer-songwriters, each bringing their unique voice, stories, and sound to the stage. Whether you're a music lover, a fellow artist, or just looking for an inspiring night out, this is your chance to experience the soul of our city—one song at a time. Come and support the magic of live, local music.

Auto Janz

Auto Jansz singer songwriter of Folk Blues and Ragtime.

From Winnipeg punk to Victoria Folk scene.
Musical style described as having classic virtues of roots while sounding fresh and contemporary. Auto has toured Canadian land as well as internationally.

Auto Jansz is also a member of popular roots band Barley Wik & ThreeWheeler.

Dogme 96 (Eric from Coda, haha)

Dogme 96 is a Victoria based experimental folk-noire project from Eric White. Inspired by a Danish film movement in the 1990s, Dogme 96 appropriates the same ideals of naturalism, humanity and experimentation into the realm of folk music.

White has been performing and releasing music for over a decade in Victoria and has numerous albums under his belt, including 2023’s conceptual behemoth Moments From The Void and 2025’s self-titled LP.

James Leclaire

James Leclaire is a Canadian based singersongwriter who mixes folk, rock, classic country, roots, and blues to conjure up his own unique style of storytelling. Although his music often pulls from the hardships of life, whether it be relationships, addictions, inner demons, or depression, his gravely voice cuts a deep feeling of hope and determination. Whether his songs are layered thick with allegories and metaphors or straightforward and direct, James’ songs resonate relatability and realism.
Storytelling has always been at the forefront of James' life. On Oct 1st, 2025, after a successful career in animation as a storyboard artist, director, writer, series creator, and studio co/founder of Jam Filled Entertainment, James took the leap to pursue his lifelong passion of songwriting and performing full time.

Building up to this integral moment, James recorded 38 songs from 2020-2023 at Bova Sound with Phillip Victor Bova producing. It was here that James was finally able to take his music to the next level. For certain tracks, Phillip was able to bring on harmonicist Mickey Raphael (Nelson/Stapleton/Dylan), guitarist/mandolinist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), drummer Ed Toth (Doobie Bros.) and Juno nominated pianist and guitarist John Fraser Findlay.

James started releasing singles from these sessions monthly in August 2023. The first 10 compiled to become his 2024 album Come On In, the following 11 became 2025's Self Deconstruction, while the latest 10 singles formed his June 2026 album The Deal.
