Auntie Kate and the Uncles of Funk stir up a mess of Blues, seasoned with good old R&B, delivered on a plateful of Soul and Funk.
Auntie Kate hits the stage like a barely controlled force of nature, rocking and kicking out a powerful blues routine. She is a charismatic singer with a style all her own.
On stage, outfitted with dark glasses and an unabashed stage presence, she takes command of her audiences with her soulful vocals.

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.
