A quick clip of award-winning banjo player Borgy Borgerson of the fabulous Dixie Land Express. We heard this Victoria based Dixie Land Jazz Band at Butchart Gardens. What a treat. Like the Beatles, each member of the band is an excellent musician in his or her own right but work together to create a special magic. And like the Beatles each member has a rich personality that makes their performance special. If you would like your own copy of this song you can purchase their CD, Live at Hermans. If you wish to purchase one of their many CDs or hire them for a wedding or other special occassion you can contact the band at:
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.
