This year, KNKX Public Radio is marking its 10th anniversary since becoming independent, and we're celebrating in communities across Western Washington and Southern B.C. We're excited to present an evening with Astrocolor at this special anniversary event for our listeners in Victoria. The show will begin with an exclusive live taping of a four-song KNKX studio session hosted by Abe Beeson, followed by a full Astrocolor set in its seated AstroJazz format. Both will take place on the Main Stage of The Coda, which will be configured for General Admission seating.
Astrocolor is a four-time nominee at the Western Canadian Music Awards, winning Instrumental Artist of the Year. The band's AstroJazz series (Moonlighting - AstroJazz Vol. 1 and Stargazing - AstroJazz Vol. 2) explores the nexus between experimental jazz and instrumental psychedelia, and has been a regular playlist staple on KNKX since 2023. This will be the first opportunity to hear new songs from the band's forthcoming release performed live.
Astrocolor is: Anand Greenwell, Sax; Andrew Poirier, Guitar; Neil James Cooke-Dallin, Keyboards and percussion; Lindsay Bryan, Vocals; Amrit Basi, Drums; Piers Henwood, Keyboards
VIP tickets: in addition to the Main Stage show, you’re invited to join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Bar Stage for a reception which includes a drink ticket, dessert, a meet and greet with Astrocolor, and live music performed by a jazz combo from the Victoria Conservatory of Music.
