Rueben deGroot is kicking open a new chapter with The Black Sheepdogs, a rock 'n roll outfit built for late nights, loud amps, and floors that shake. This debut project channels everything deGroot does best—timeless vocals, punchy hooks, and a fearless, full‑throttle energy that feels both nostalgic and brand new.
The Black Sheepdogs deliver the kind of rock show that doesn’t ask for permission: raw, melodic, a little unruly, and impossible to ignore. It’s the sound of a band ready to make its mark and have a damn good time doing it.
Catch their first-ever show at The Toucan on Friday, January 23rd, taking over the stage from 10:30pm until 2am. If you want a night that hits hard and keeps you moving, this is your invitation to run with the pack.
We're here to help artists and arts organizations reach their audiences and each other.
Non-profit run and created by the community, ArtsVictoria.ca integrates current event listings and multimedia arts portfolios, and creates an explorable, living archive of the arts in Victoria BC.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
