Nick La Riviere Band in Concert at the Errington Hall

Nick La Riviere Band in Concert at the Errington Hall

“Infectious, energetic, and fun. This band has it all!” - Darryl Mar, Artistic Director, Victoria Jazz Society

Band leader Nick La Riviere’s biggest influence comes from modern New Orleans music… not the older dixie music some people think of when they hear ‘New Orleans’, but the fun, horn heavy music people are partying to there now. The music is all about having a good time, keeping the energy high the whole show. Nick’s originals are like if Trombone Shorty met Ben Folds – wild horn solos, piano based grooves and melodic vocals. The band also plays their own take on tunes by great artists like Sly and the Family Stone. Featuring vocals, trumpet, sax, trombone, guitar, piano/synth, bass, drums – and sometimes conch shells or wine glasses, the 7-piece band delivers a big, powerful sound.

Events Calendar

 

Options:

1a. Record a 20-second PROMO for your event on our answering machine.

Call our on-air listener line at 250.740.1017 and leave a 20-25 second long message telling us about your event. This is probably the easiest way for you to get your audio recorded for us to play at CHLY. Your message should include the following:

  • What/Where/When the event is.

  • If applicable, how much the event is, and where to get tickets.

  • If applicable email: admin@chly.ca background music for the event.

See below for an example that we did for Gord Grdina at the White Room.

1b. Record your own PROMO AT THE STATION.

Like the above but recorded at CHLY 101.7FM’s studio. Email admin@chly.ca or call 250.716.3410 to schedule a time to come into the station to record a higher quality promo. We recommend coming prepared with a readable script that is roughly 20-25 seconds long.

2. Submit a show or event to our Events calendar!

We’re currently testing sending event updates out to our email subscribers to keep them in the loop for local events. Filling in this form gives us the information we need for our events page and social media updates, as well as on air promo for hosts to mention on their shows.

Please complete the form below

Please include both a description for our events page, as well as for promotion on the air by our hosts. We highly encourage you to offer 1-2 pairs of tickets for your event. These tickets are given away to our supporters and listeners and assist in a big way in keeping CHLY financially sustainable.
