Yes, THE Sam Roberts flew into Victoria for a brief visit to promote his upcoming album 'Chemical City'. He played four acoustic songs with Dave Nugent which were recorded for a special broadcast to be aired near the release date on the Zone and the Q. It will include other songs from the album as well as questions from some of the fans watching. I won my seats by emailing the Zone at 91.3 and telling them that I wanted to impress my girlfriend by taking her to a private show (that and a few other gems I thought of). It might have worked... I also added more recent photos from the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC where Sam did a show in the snow. It was our 4th time seeing him out West in just over a year.
