The Future!!! (Or At Least the Next 3 Months...)

It's difficult to grok, we know, but consider: after Shannon Rayne refreshes the Solstice next Thursday, there's only THREE MONTHS LEFT of Tongues of Fire Season Five! That's only six shows before the poetic dry spell that is a Victoria summer (though we're working on other things to make that period palatable)... so here's a little preview of the features that will be taking us to the inevitable climax. So to speak.

March 11: local storyteller and musician Michael J McCarthy will be joining us for the last installment of our Aboriginal Showcase Series. Michael is Nuu-chah-nulth from Ucluelet. His Nuu-chah-nulth name is Chees Qualth and he will be bringing us his flute, his non-traditional poetry, and stories about his gramma.

March 25: Magpie Ulysses. You know what's awesome? We can type out her name and that's pretty much all we need do. Magpie Ulysses. Magpie Ulysses! Magpie Ulysses!!

April 8: the Space Cowboy will be touching down in Victoria this day... Steve Miller. Bring sunscreen, 's gonna get bright in here.

April 22: Nathanael Larochette, all the way from Eastern Canada. A legend.

May 13: this is the penultimate ToF show. We know who's featuring but we're gonna keep it under wraps for now due to it's potent sweetness.

May 27: FINAL SHOW! See listing for May 13, then multiply by ten. This one's not under wraps, it's in a lead-lined box at the bottom of the Inner Harbour. Excitement!
