The award-winning Tidesmen is the premier male a cappella chorus on Vancouver Island. Our music features soaring voices, ringing chords, and thrilling close harmony. Our uplifting repertoire includes The American Song Book, Broadway Standards, Blues, Pop, Rock and Roll, inspirational songs, and Barbershop favourites.
We present our highly popular annual Spring show at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre, and at other venues in the mid-Island. At Christmas, we present concerts in Nanaimo and Oceanside. At Valentine’s, our in-house quartets deliver love and harmony to sweethearts, friends and relatives.
Tidesmen 2019/20 show season:
- Christmas 2019:
Friday, December 13, Nanaimo
Saturday, December 14, Parksville

The Tidesmen’s culture engenders brotherhood, camaraderie and fun, and the chorus takes pride in serving the local community:
- supporting the important work of Nanaimo’s Child Development Centre
- providing bursaries to local musical arts students
- participating in community events throughout the mid-Island
We warmly welcome new members, and we invite casual visitors to join us at our Monday evening practice at Costin Hall, in Lantzville. Details at www.tidesmen.com.
The Tidesmen wish to thank the City of Nanaimo for its support through a Culture and Heritage grant.
