Wild Card Revue

August 7 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Wild Card Revue is a four-piece band formed in 2024. We started out primarily as a classic rock cover band with a few original songs sprinkled in. As we grew, we gradually added more originals, recording them as they tightened up and gained power on stage. Today we blend classic rock, funk, reggae, blues, and R&B into a high-energy mix full of surprises from song to song. Come dance and sing along with us!

Don Restall, killer drums and vocals: Started in school band, then highland drumming ,then started gigging at 14. Had either started or been in about half the bands in Victoria. Played with Crissy Steel. Bernie Shaw of Uriah Heep and many great guitarists. (has an obsession with drums, furniture and old cars)

Ron Ogden, pumpin’ bass and vocals: Local boy, loves to sing and play, happy to be playing with The Wild Card Revue, looking forward to seeing everyone on Aug. 7th. (refuses to divulge personal information, for fear of alerting authorities to his whereabouts)

John Morrison, smokin’ lead guitar: A native Victorian, John has been in many Victoria bands, since high school, notably The Industrials, a great 80s band. (Re. Guitars, just ask John, he has one of those. I mean all of those!)

Victor Wells, lead singer, guitarist, vocals, songwriter: Originally from Chicago, yet with a long Canadian history (Ottawa, Toronto, Victoria, Edmonton, Vancouver, Tokyo – (yeah, I know Tokyo isn’t in Canada) . Played with Victoria’s 80s ska/reggae band Bad English, other Victoria projects – The Variables, The Admirals, Rhymer & Wells. (Victor has no other marketable skills, as far as we can tell, hence the intense focus on guitars and singing)
