Rowan Farintosh is an award winning saxophonist and composer based in Victoria BC. With a diverse set of musical influences (Roy Hargrove, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, Bon Iver etc.), he composes music containing a wide variety of sonic tapestries that can connect with fans of jazz, R&B, ambient, and progressive genres. In addition to leading projects in various configurations, Rowan takes pride in being a top call studio saxophonist for numerous projects in the Victoria area, as well as performing for corporate events and wedding ceremonies. After winning the Lou Williamson scholarship, Rowan moved to Toronto to attend the prestigious Humber College, where he studied with many of Canada’s top jazz musicians, including Alex Dean and Kirk MacDonald. Rowan currently resides in Victoria, BC and is working towards recording his original music and showcasing his talents across the world.

Daniel Wesley!
2024-10-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Dinghy Dock Pub, #8 Pirates Lane, Nanaimo, British Columbia, V9R 6R1, Canada
Got Pop? Concerts & The Dinghy Dock Pub presents:
DANIEL WESLEY (Solo/Acoustic)
Doors: 6pm, Showtime: 7pm19+ Show. Please bring 2 pieces of I.D.
Tickets are $35 + s/c in advance, $40 at the door & on sale now online only at gotpopconcerts.comTicket does NOT include ferry fare. Round trip ferry is $14 and can be paid at the ferry waiting room.

Daniel Wesley’s music has always been a call to live life to the fullest. And on Beach Music, the West Coast singer/songwriter’s ninth full-length album, that call rings out more clearly than ever. Recorded with producer John Raham at Afterlife Studios, Beach Music finds Wesley reaffirming his roots, but also expanding on his signature brand of reggae-tinged beach music.

From highly personal tracks like ‘See Your Star’ and ‘Older Now’, to lighthearted offerings such as lead single and post-legalization anthem, ‘Fire’, the common thread on Beach Music is Wesley’s willingness to navigate life carefully but with open arms, taking it all as it comes, and enjoying every moment.

Rubber Tire Peep Show
2025-06-26 19:00 - 21:15 | Dinghy Dock Pub, #8 Pirates Lane, Nanaimo, British Columbia, V9R 6R1, Canada
In 2024, RTPS set out on two successful multi-provincial tours, selling out shows across B.C, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Ontario in support of their debut, self-titled record. The group has garnered great attention over the past year, including features from EXCLAIM! Magazine, CBC Radio 1, and even most recently Halifax Music Archives’ Best of 2024. After closing out the summer with a sold-out homecoming show in Toronto, a main stage slot at Highlands Music Festival and landing an opening slot for Sloan this past fall, the band was invited to kick off the New Year with a milestone co-headlining performance at Massey Hall’s state-of-the-art venue extension, TD Music Hall.
The “Peep Show” is best known for their commitment to the live show and constantly work to bring their audience a unique experience on any given night, curating both in-studio and live collaborations with an ever growing roster of artists and musicians. Collaborators spanning from local talents of stops along tour, to notable names of Canada’s music scene such as Tower of Power’s Jordan John, Matt Mays, and members of The Trews to mention a few.
Led by founding members Harrison Smith and Liam Slingerland, alongside “usual suspects”; Max Swiderski, Patrick Fockler, and David Matta, the band is now at work producing new music. Come Spring 2025, RTPS is setting out on a large-scale tour across Canada in support of their upcoming releases, with shows as far West as Tofino B.C, and as East as Halifax Nova Scotia. We are excited to have them perform for their first time at the Dinghy Dock Pub on June 26!
