Bearde's silky baritone sound invites comparisons to Jon Lucien, Bill Withers, Lou Rawls and Nat "King' Cole and his music has been critically acclaimed nationally by Jazziz, Jazz Times, All About Jazz Jazz Wise in the UK, and the Moscow Times in Russia.
He has performed at many of the most respected jazz festivals, clubs and concert halls throughout the world from Beijing, North Sea Jazz, Montreaux and Moscow to San Francisco, New York, Paris and Istanbul and... has toured, performed and recorded with a long list of jazz luminaries including Vincent Herring, Eric Alexander, Jeremy Pelt, Nat Adderely Jr., Alfonso Johnson, Patrice Rushen and Bernard Purdie to name a few.
"Smooth....soulful...deeply sensuous and romantic" - These are just a few words used to describe the music of Nicolas Bearde.

The Arts on View Society was incorporated in December 2016 for the purpose of preserving Hermann’s Jazz Club and continuing to enhance the public’s appreciation of jazz, blues and world music through all-ages live performance. As the longest continuous running jazz club in Canada, Hermann’s has been at the forefront of providing the opportunity for local and visiting musicians to showcase their talents for the past 40 years.
The Arts on View Society operates Hermann’s Jazz Club, Hermann’s Upstairs, and the View Street Social.
The Arts on View Society has exercised an option to terminate the lease with the Estate of Hermann Nieweler for the 2nd and 3rd floor space, known as Hermann's Upstairs effective March 31, 2024. This change allows us to focus specifically on the operations of Hermann's Jazz Club and View Street Social while we explore new ways of programming the upstairs space in a financially viable manner. The Arts on View Society's vision remains - to create and sustain a performing arts center in downtown Victoria.
