CRITICS’ PICKS

FUNDRAISER CONCERT

What: The Millies — Jazz and Tonic Where: Intrepid Theatre Club When: Monday, 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $35 via brownpapertickets.com Why: Noted Victoria dancer and choreographer Lynda Raino has hatched a new project. She and two friends have formed The Millies, an a cappella trio that sings retro pop, Broadway and jazz favourites. Their upcoming show is for a good cause. It’s a fundraiser for Jazz on View, a community group that aims to purchase Hermann’s Jazz Club and keep the venerable night-spot’s doors open. — Adrian Chamberlain, Times Colonist

JAZZFEST

What: Quinn Bachand’s Brishen (with Blue Moon Marquee) Where: Dave Dunnet Theatre, Oak Bay High School When: Saturday, 8 p.m.

Tickets: $28, 250 388-4423 or 250-386-6121)

Why: This year’s TD Victoria International Jazz Festival hosts a few big names, including soul siren Mavis Staples and blues-rock guitar slinger Elvin Bishop. But don’t overlook the roster of talented local acts. Among them is Quinn Bachand, a gifted guitarist who plays everything from western swing to Django Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz. — AC

ROCK

What: Ryan Adams with Karen Elson Where: Alix Goolden Performance Hall, 907 Pandora Ave. When: Sunday, 7 p.m. Tickets: Sold out Why: Those who were in attendance for the 2015 Victoria debut by Ryan Adams, who performed with a broken rib, have been waiting anxiously for his inevitable return — which explains why tickets to his Alix Goolden Performance Hall concert were scooped up almost immediately. Couple that with an intriguing opening act (singer-songwriter Karen Elson, who also happens to be the former wife of Jack White), and you’ve got what should be one of the shows of the year in this market. — Mike Devlin, Times Colonist
