Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Few masters never let the
audience forget that performing
classic songs like “Summertime”
and “My Funny Valentine” can
still be a genuine art form, and
one of the true greats lives right
here in Victoria. Joe Coughlin has
a spectacular voice that has taken him to North America’s
finest clubs and on tour with
legendary artists such as Dizzy
Gillespie and Woody Herman. Joe
celebrated a quarter-century of
singing jazz last year by
recording Things Turn Out That
Way, his sixth – and best – CD
(which is saying something!).
Once again appearing with the
all-star quartet of Pat Coleman
guitar, Tony Genge piano, Ken
Lister bass, and Buff Allen drums,
the gentlemanly Joe Coughlin
and his gorgeous baritone are
guaranteed to charm the house.
