Bryden Street is a Victoria band featuring a full eight-piece R&B sound (including a vintage Leslie speaker). Our set list is a high-energy tribute to classic R&B and rock and roll, covering artists such as Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Motown, the Commitments, the Beatles and Wilson Pickett. A unique feature of the band is that we feature three female lead vocalists with some sweet harmonies and a great look.

The band has been together since the spring of 2004 and has shared the stage with the Timebenders, Paul Wainwright, the Powder Blues Band and Johnny Ferreira of the Colin James Little Big Band. We have recently added guitar legend Randy Waldie and keyboard genius Chris Van Sickle to the lineup (both locals) to enhance an already powerful lineup.

We'd be happy to provide additional references, but here's what people have said from some recent bookings:

Thanks again to you and your amazing band for the great show Saturday night! You guys are terrific! Everyone was thoroughly impressed by your musical talent, the showmanship, lineup and professionalism. (Rob Frame, Sierra Systems)

It was coming across that you guys (BSHP) were having fun and WE really enjoyed it. You played with soul, fun and heart - it's infectious. (Liz Stannard and Mike Strong Wedding)

Wow!!!. From the first to the final note, this exciting band created energy and had people on their feet dancing. In short - a terrific band with a great sound !!!! We will have them back, without doubt. (Hewitt Helmsing, President. Peninsula Celebrations Society)

We've been raving about you guys all week! Pender Bender's are always a good time but you guys turned it up to 11 for us. Please add me to the mailing list. Would love to catch up with you guys in Victoria or Sidney. (Chris Thody, Island Cruising Yacht Charters who caught our show at Pender's Port Browning Marina)

We chose Bryden Street House Party for our daughter's wedding because we know everyone from the youngest to the oldest will enjoy their solid rhythm and upbeat sound. Their enthusiasm and colorful mix of music was the perfect finish to this celebration!" (Michael Horne, Wedding)

Bryden Street is a great band for me to dance my favorite dances; West Coast Swing, Cha Cha & East Coast Swing. (Garth Pilkey, Dancer)

Love those kicking versions of 60's R&B classics! The only problem with Bryden Street is you want to dance all night and don't want to break for a drink. (D. Sherwood, Peninsula Celebrations Society)

We had a great time and you guys put on a super show. We've told a number of people how much we enjoyed the evening. It would be a hoot (to catch your next show). (Dan McAllister, General Manager 100.3 the Q Radio)

Thank you for making party a success. The band was fabulous. We all had a great time thanks to Bryden Street. Our warmest thanks to you and the band. (Bob and Susan Gill, Private Party)
