Event Description

Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering; Everyone welcome jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performers Alan Moberg at 9pm, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door

Alan Moberg is folk, he is country, he is gospel, he is western roots, painting British Columbia with songs of land and sea, of ranching, of farming, and of fishing.

Born in 1941 in Pender Harbour, BC, the first word Alan spoke was “boat” and as a toddler, he could tell whose boat it was before it came around the point by the sound of its engine! He deep-sea trolled with his dad in summers from the age of eleven and later seined both salmon and herring on bigger boats. At age 22, he returned to fishing with his father to make up for the sea legs and abilities he lacked as a youngster, and his dad would say that this more mature Alan was the best man he ever had on the boat!

Alan is a member of the BC Country Music Hall of Fame, a winner of 3 BCCMA awards, and his work has been featured on both TV and radio across Canada. His greatest reward comes from the people who have continued to love his music across these many decades.

Recently, John Lugsdin of the Salt Spring Sailing Club said that “Alan Moberg is one of the few people who remembers the BC Coast as it once was” and invited him to play a concert for the club’s members. Alan told stories and sang songs of his beloved West Coast and it was a smashing success. The folks loved it and so will we as Alan plays his first feature ever at the VFMS!
