Has anyone seen promotion for the March27/28th Joel Plaskett shows at Big White? I don’t understand it. This guy is a great Canadian artist. He opened for the Hip last time they were in town. He use to be he lead singer/songwriter for a great Candian band – Thrush Hermit. Why no promotion in Kelowna? He always sells out in Vancouver. He’s doing 2 nights at the Media Club this Fri/Saturday and they’re sell out (I have my tix for Saturday). If you’re reading this post, I strongly suggest you get a ticket. Ticket price will probably be $12 (same as what they are in Vancouver). He’s playing Raakal’s.

Goals:
– To post official announcements of concerts coming to town
– create a discussion forum for “strong” rumours of upcoming shows
– Get the latest information on festivals, Wakefest, Rock the Bluffs and other summer events
– posting setlists, photos and reviews of shows.

My resources:
Kelownagigs.com, OUC radio, The Phoneix newspaper, eVent magazine, Scorpion Entertainment magazine, Off-Centre mag, Showcase in the Capital News, Pollstar, Chart Magazine, Canoe Jam, posters for gigs at the Warehouse, OK Mission Hall, Knights of Columbus, etc… See what I mean, all these sources post various events from around town.

History of me….
I moved here from Newfoundland 6 years ago. I’m use to a very vibrant live music scene with dozens of bands playing a dozen different venues on any given night. I found Kelowna was really lacking in promotion for live music around town. It has definitley gotten better with eVent magazine and Scorpion Entertainment (to name just a few initiatives). However, bands still come and go with little notice.

If you have a website, please let me know. I’ll link to you and I ask that you link back to me.

Stay tuned…. I’ll try to update every Monday.
