November 17, 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:30
Join us for an extraordinary evening of music with three of the brightest musical talents of their generation: pianist Ashley Wey, bassist Louis Rudner, and guitarist Adam Dobres!
Ashley Wey is a hometown musical hero, celebrated for her contributions to music, music education, and community building. Growing up in Victoria’s vibrant music scene and honing her talents through the Esquimalt High School Jazz Program, Ashley was already making a name for herself as a teenager. She went on to study at the prestigious Humber College in Toronto, working alongside some of Canada's finest musicians. After spending a decade touring the world as a bandleader and collaborator, Ashley returned to Victoria, where she has established herself as one of the city's leading pianists.
Louis Rudner grew up in the musical hotbed of Detroit, studying and performing throughout his high school years before attending the prestigious University of Michigan, where he studied under world-renowned bassist Rodney Whitaker and earned his master's degree. Louis has toured extensively across Canada, the United States, and internationally. Now based in Victoria, he is a highly sought-after musician whose versatility spans jazz, rock, folk, funk, and everything in between. Equally accomplished on acoustic and electric bass, Louis is a gifted bandleader and collaborator.
Adam Dobres, a Victoria native and true guitar wizard, grew up on Vancouver Island's West Coast, immersed in a rich musical world of fiddle tunes, Django Reinhardt-inspired jazz, folk, rock, and beyond. A soulful, adventurous, and endlessly inventive musician, Adam has spent years touring the world before making his home once again on Canada's West Coast.
Adam is no stranger to Tuesday Night Jazz at the Church, having appeared in several memorable concerts, most recently as a guest guitarist with Kelby MacNayr's Adventures in the DjangoSphere project.
Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to hear three exceptional musicians sharing the stage for an evening of musical magic!
