Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, now living on Galiano Island, Jack Garton has been making exciting music and theatre professionally for 15 years. Equally at home in the dense rain forest and eclectic West Coast arts scenes, he is sought after as both a collaborator and solo artist. Jack has forged a unique sound on the trumpet, playing as a sideman with many BC roots acts, including most recently Petunia and the Vipers, blending a traditional jazz style with a sense of forward-looking adventure.
Exerpts from his website: Whether performing with his touring band, The Demon Squadron, or solo, armed with an accordion, trumpet and drums, his show is dynamic, fluid, and fun. Playing a steady stream of festivals, clubs, house concerts and halls has honed the sound and performance into an impressive and unique experience.
Jack Garton’s show is a roller-coaster tour through roots music in the folk and blues traditions. Performing up to 5 instruments at once as a one-man band, it’s a virtuosic high-wire act, and a lot of fun.
The Victoria Multicultural Society operates the Victoria Event Centre (VEC), located in downtown Victoria, Lkwungen Territory. Opening its doors in 2003, the VEC has quickly become a favourite venue for emerging artists and local community organizers.
