Vancouver Island based singer-songwriters John Gogo and Allen Dobb are joining together for an intimate acoustic concert at the Victoria Events Centre on Sunday, October 27th.
John Gogo released his sixth album Western Balladeer in July 2024. The recording which includes “Larry’s Grandad” and “Cougar Annie” reveals just what an inspired and skillful folk songwriter John Gogo has become.
Alone Together, Allen Dobb’s fourth full-length release, came out earlier this year, and is a finely crafted collection of Americana-style songs inspired by the stories, landscapes, and characters Dobb has encountered working as a range management specialist in the BC Interior.
The pair are seasoned veterans of the Canadian music scene, and longtime friends. Balladeer and actor John Gogo is best known for writing and performing his folksongs about the people and places he knows, the true and the tall tales of the west coast and the islands. From Haida Gwaii to St. John's to Old Crow, John has played community halls and big houses, festivals and pubs, theatres, and beer parlors.
Allen Dobb’s musical journey has taken him to Austin, TX, Nashville, TN, Lesotho, Southern Africa, and places in between. He has performed at the Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Mariposa folk festivals and at the legendary Bumbershoot Festival in the U.S. He has toured the U.K. and shared the stage with a diverse group of artists including Shawn Colvin, Jann Arden, Jesse Winchester, Peter Case, Darden Smith, Stephen Fearing, Roy Forbes, and Ziggy Marley.
