I had the pleasure of covering the Rifflandia Festival for CVV Magazine for the third year in a row. For those unfamiliar, Rifflandia is a multi-venue festival that transforms the heart of Victoria BC into a cultural and musical mecca for 4 nights and three days. It is often a bit of a marathon and impossible to see every show. The blend of local talent, intimate venues and large main stage headlining delights never fails to produce a feast for a wide variety of musical tastes.
Here are some of the highlights through my looking glass.
