Blenz on Bernard is looking to help support the local Kelowna artist community, so check it out Saturday May 18th where we will be featuring an acoustic show by Wild Son from  7-9pm.

Wild Son is a groove based folk rock quartet out of Kelowna, BC. This band was born as a two piece acoustic/percussion group 2 years ago in Winnipeg, MB. Since migrating west there have been two new members join. Wild Son is now composed of various musical personalities. This includes the funkiest drummer/bassist combination throwing down the freshest grooves, locked in with a high energy violinist/fiddler that you will never forget, with a catchy singer/songwriter identity. The moment these four musicians collaborated they knew they were meant to write and perform music together. From a mellow, sit down acoustic style to a high energy, dance til’ you drop feeling, Wild Son has an ear to please a crowd on any occasion.

She is also garnering much critical praise for her solo album Where the Darkness Goes. .Awna has recently embarked on her first ever solo tour and we are privileged to be included here in Kelowna. She has stops in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah before returning to Canada.

Maiya Robbie of Long Story Short will be joining the tour as Awna’s special guest in Kelowna. Wordsmith Shane Koyczan and the Long Story Short, who tour and record together, were recent finalists in CBC’s Searchlight competition. Singer/songwriter Mayia has also produced some solo work, most recently last year’s EP Should’ve Been a Mountain. Don’t miss this last Kelowna Folk Club concert of the season.
