Event Description

The Victoria Event Centre is proud to present Grant Lawrence and Friends: Return to Solitudes Stories and Songs. Celebrating the release of Grant's latest book "Return To Solitude", follow-up to his bestselling debut "Adventures in Solitude", Grant will treat the audience to an evening filled with hilarious and harrowing stories about our outlandish coastal characters. The true tales will be complimented by songs from three excellent Victoria-based musicians; Kathryn Calder (New Pornographers), Jay Malinowski (Bedouin Soundclash) and Ashleigh Ball (Hey Ocean). Join the acclaimed author, broadcaster, and raconteur-extraordinaire for an unforgettable night of stories and songs that are sure to have the audience laughing and singing along, feeling fully entertained.

The Victoria Events Centre is ramping up shows since the reinstatement of capacities for live events in BC, and is becoming one of Victoria’s most beloved cultural spaces
