The West Coast Soul Collective is an exciting and dynamic group of Victoria’s best young musicians, playing high energy Funk, Soul, Rock, Pop, and more! Led by Victoria-born & Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Josh Warren, this group is made up of members studying music across North America at institutions such as Berklee College, McGill University, Humber College, and more. From events such as Lights of Wonder and the TD Jazzfest, to venues such as Hermann’s Upstairs and the Victoria Event Centre, you’ll hear this group funking up the island in spectacular fashion every time they come together. Fronted by fantastic local talent Anise Russow on vocals, you’ll hear music from the 60s all the way to today - hits, deep cuts, original arrangements, and everything in between!
