SoulFire, Victoria’s premier funk, soul, and jazz ensembles, will make its Lower Mainland debut at the renowned Blue Frog Studios on Saturday, May 23.
Led by bassist Steve Duben and featuring vocalist/flutist Brenda Morie, SoulFire has become a standout presence in Victoria’s vibrant music scene. Known for its dynamic blend of groove-driven originals and inventive interpretations, the band has built a loyal following, reflected in a string of sold-out performances at Hermann’s Jazz Club.
The group first caught the attention of Blue Frog Studios proprietor Kelly Breaks, who quickly recognized the band’s appeal. “SoulFire is made up of an impressive group of players, and I didn’t hesitate to give them a date,” says Breaks.
SoulFire’s repertoire draws from an eclectic range of influential artists including The Crusaders, Joe Sample, Randy Crawford, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Herbie Mann, Peter Gabriel, Natalie Cole, and Steely Dan. The result is a sophisticated yet accessible sound that resonates with fans of funk, R&B, soul, and jazz-rock. “We’re really looking forward to bringing our music to a venue known for top-tier performances,” says Morie. “Blue Frog has a reputation for presenting artists who push the music forward while staying deeply connected to groove and tradition.”
Collectively, SoulFire’s members have performed with an impressive list of artists including Martha Reeves, Tommy Banks, Gaye Delorme, Amos Garrett, Chet McCracken (The Doobie Brothers), Bo Diddley, Michael Bublé, Nancy Sinatra, Charlie Hunter, and Jeff Healey.

ALEX BROWNE AND HIS BOULEVARDIERS as the marquee show of the 2026 White Rock Jazz & Blues Festival
June 05 tickets no on sale
Specializing in performing the “original sounds of the Roaring `20s and Flirty `30s”, vocalist, trumpeter, and bandleader Alex Browne has been a figure on the Vancouver music scene since the Swing Revival of the late `90s and early 2000’s during which he led the Aristocrats of Swing at Blue Lizard nights at the Waldorf and at other venues.
In 2015, following a stay in Paris, which coincided with being gifted a large collection of stock arrangements from the 1920s and early 1930s – he decided to renew his love affair with the Jazz Age with a new band, The Boulevardiers, named for a popular cocktail invented in 1927.
Based in White Rock, the Boulevardiers have since won a following at numerous local venues – and have frequently been featured in the White Rock Jazz and Blues Festival.
The all-star group presents the music in suitably dapper old-school style, wearing tuxedos and tails, playing vintage instruments, and using vintage-style microphones.
Latest addition to The Boulevardiers is vocalist Alison Lumley, who joined the band early in 2025. An accomplished singer/songwriter in her own right, she was half of the alternative folk-pop duo Avenue Elle, popular in the Austin, Texas area in the early 2010s, and also featured on the radio in Colorado and on Garrison Keillor’s Minnesota Public Radio show Prairie Home Companion.
