Headlining Friday’s Rock N’ Roll Jamboree is the very talented Antonio Larosa. With vocal styles comparative to Elvis Presley and electric blues guitar inspired by Eric Clapton, Larosa writes from the heart to the heart of his listeners and has been nominated for the BC Country Music Awards for New Emerging Artist. Featured acts also include International Singer/Songwriter Association Award winner and island outlaw southern country rocker Chris Andres, Rockband trio The Ticks and winners of the 2022 Zattzoo Project Youth Battle of the Bands, The Porter Brothers.
XL the Band headlines the Series’ Hip Hop Fusion performance on Saturday night. A Western Canadian Music Award nominated hip hop/jazz/alternative project featuring two thirds of four-time JUNO award winning group Swollen Members, the members of XL have decades of live experience rocking large audiences on festival main stages, playing orchestras, and winding up jazz clubs. Nanaimo Hip Hop Artist Sirreal & Blue Satellite also take the stage on Saturday, connecting with listeners through honestly vulnerable lyrics born from healing from his own after- effects of intergenerational violence, mental health and su***de. Hailing from Tobago, Caleb Hart's music includes everything from reggae, gospel and soul to calypso, a mixture Hart likes to call 'island soul. With over 1000 live performances under his belt, singer Caleb Hart continually proves himself as a passionate performer conveying a special message of love, hope, and unity. Oktiv6 & The Jays will also grace the stage with their impressive vocals, lyrical brilliance and classic beats.
Hosted by Vancouver Island comedian Randii Andii and Hillbilly Steve, each night features vendors, food trucks and a full liquor license. SubTheory provides ticket holders with exclusive afterparty vibes until 2am with on-site camping for tents and RVs. This will be an Adult 19+ only event.
