About

Vancouver Island Dynamite

since circa 2015
VANCOUVER ISLAND DYNAMITE is a fresh five piece high-energy instrumental jazz/funk group, made up of like-minded, top notch players from the Victoria jazz, R&B, latin, blues and rock scenes. Since their inception, they wowed audiences at Lucky Bar, Hermann’s Jazz Club, The Northern Quarter and at The Victoria JazzFest with their incessant groove, their high octane funk, and their sophisticated improvisations. In short they provide some dangerously combustible funkin’ jazz!
