Crossing more boundaries than a rumrunner, The Capital City Syncopators is Victoria's finest prohibition-era dance band. A delicious stew of trad jazz, western swing and 80's favourites - this eccentric 5-piece will be sure to sweep you off your feet and onto the dance floor.
The band's lineup includes some of Victoria's most accomplished professional musicians: Reuben Wier on guitar, Chris Herbst on lapsteel, Avram Devon McCagherty on tenor banjo, Don Cox on tuba, and Matt Pease on drums and washboard.
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 and the View Street Social.
