Music BC is bringing their highly successful SchMusic BC Parties to Kelowna, BC for the first time ever!

If you’re an artist, musician, manager, booker etc., or simply interested in being a part of the music industry – you must not miss out on a great opportunity!

SchMusic is the chance to meet-and-greet with Industry Professionals who could help advance an artist’s career.

By meeting someone in a relaxed setting, you can make a connection that a phone call or email can’t get you.

At the SchMusic Parties, you can put a face to the email address and phone number, and perhaps make a lasting impression on a booking agent, label or potential manager.

Julie Doiron Returns to Western Canada!
Monday, April 07 – Kelowna, BC @ Doc Willoughbys w/ The Superfantastics

“Her relentless pursuit of the kernel of truth and the glimmer of hope has found its apex of expression on her fourth solo album, the bloody marvelous Woke Myself Up. A pasteboard of reflections on her most intractable pairings and partings—relationships to friends, kin and her artistic self are on equal footing to the comings and goings of lovers—Woke Myself Up is Doiron’s accomplished, hard-earned Blonde on Blonde.” Mary Christa O’Keefe, Vue Magazine (Edmonton) Watch The Swan Pond Video From The Polaris Prize Nominated Album “Woke Myself Up” @ http://endearing.com/video/swan_pond_sm.mov
