John Reischman and The Jaybirds - Christmas Concert and Benefit
In what has become a Victoria tradition, John Reischman and the Jaybirds are fluttering into town for their 7th Annual Christmas Concert and Benefit. You can expect the usual intimate performance, stunning instrumentals and soaring harmonies from these masters of acoustic music.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the music, John Reischman is one of the acoustic world's top-ranked mandolin players and composers, renowned for his exquisite taste, tone and impeccable musicianship. He is revered for his ability to play genres ranging from bluegrass to jazz to hot swing to Latin and beyond.

The Jaybirds are four musicians renowned in their own right: Jim Nunally, guitarist from the San Francisco Bay Area; Trisha Gagnon on bass from Chilliwack BC; Nick Hornbuckle from Nanaimo on 5- string banjo, and from Spokane, Greg Spatz on fiddle.

The band has accumulated several European and North American tours, five critically acclaimed albums, two Juno nominations and two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Like the mandolinist at its helm, the group fashions a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned, yet unselfconsciously new. Their live show has a genial blend of story-telling and side-show humor behind their studied performance of original songs, instrumentals, and freshly arranged traditional material.

$5 will be donated to Our Place Society for each ticket sold.
