Pianist Ashley Wey, bassist Louis Rudner, and guitarist Adam Dobres are three of the brightest musical lights of their generation!
Ashley is a homegrown hero of music, music education, and community building. Growing up in Victoria’s fertile music scene and connected with the Esquimalt High School Jazz Program, Ashley was making a name for herself on the local scene even in high school. She continued her studies at the prestigious Humber College of Music in Toronto, working alongside some of the top musical minds in the country, spending the next 10 years touring the world as a bandleader and collaborator on cruise ships, before returning to her hometown to make her mark as one of the city's leading pianists.
Bassist Louis Rudner grew up in the musical hotbed of Detroit, studying, playing, and performing around town in high school before beginning studies at the University of Michigan under world-renowned bassist Rodney Whitaker. Rudner earned his Master’s Degree at the University of Michigan and has toured extensively around the US, Canada, and the world. Now based in Victoria, Louis is in demand in jazz, rock, folk, funk, and everything in between. A gifted bassist on both acoustic and electric bass, Rudner is an esteemed bandleader and collaborator.
Victoria native and guitar wizard Adam Dobres grew up on the West Coast of Vancouver Island immersed in fiddle music, Django Reinhardt style jazz, folk, rock, and everything in between. Dobres is a mysterious, soulful, and brilliant musical nomad; after touring the world, he has settled on Canada’s West Coast, and we are thrilled to have him!
Adam Dobres has been featured in a number of concerts at Tuesday Night Jazz at the Church, most recently as guest guitarist with Kelby MacNayr's Adventures in the DjangoSphere Project!
