Some confirmed artists include JASON BUIE, POPPA DAWG, SABRINA WEEKS, KATHY FRANK, ELLIE JOHNSON, SUGAR BUD, LINDA SUE WILSON, DAN ENGLLAND and…..

We are happy to announce for the first time on the Big Blue Stage from the Northern Pikes, Bryan Potvin and from the Grapes of Wrath, Kevin Kane.

After bringing down the farm last summer, The Boom Booms are returning to unveil their new album produced by Grammy award winning producer/artist) Chin Injeti who also has a new album.

Okanagan’s favourite 11 piece band The Legendary Lake Monsters are set to get Lake Country dancing all night long with their popular wide range of music while one man show dynamo Shane Philip returns to Oyama to close out our summer concert series with a bang!

Nestled in Lake Country in the Central Okanagan Valley, the Gatzke family has been proudly farming in Oyama, B.C. since 1929. Gatzke Orchard currently grows over 50 varieties of tree fruit throughout the season. It is grown the most natural and sustainable way, which guarantee premium quality of the fruit & vegetables. Gatzke Orchard is a 3rd generation family owned and operated farm, steeped in agricultural history. Leo’s grandson Alan, his wife Ingrid and their two daughters continue to maintain the family operation and the legacy that Leo started 80 years ago.

Osoyoos, British Columbia (May 8, 2014): Osoyoos will rock the South Okanagan,June 27 to July 1, during the first ever Desert Live Music Festival jointly presented by Eastlink and the Town of Osoyoos. A free, all-ages event, Desert Live will happen right on the lakefront at Gyro Beach.

“We’re very pleased to partner with the Town of Osoyoos to bring you this year’s Desert Live Music Festival,” says Eastlink Regional Manager Shawn Mudge. “As a community-driven organization, we’re always looking for ways to give back to our customers and support the Town of Osoyoos. We’re honoured to deliver on this commitment and we hope to see everyone at this year’s Desert Live Music Festival.”

The musical lineup will feature rock, reggae, funk, soul, blues and more. The five-day festival will showcase a talented, all-Canadian lineup, including:

In addition to the featured artists, festival-goers can look forward to a host of other fun activities, including: Performances by the Nankama Drum Troupe, along with rhythmic drum circles led by Nankama; a BMX and Skateboard Competition; and various on-site food vendors and artisans.

“The goal of the festival is to create an exceptional experience for our visitors and local residents,” says Mike Campol, Chair of the Music Festival Committee. “We want to create a space where you can relax with your friends or family, have a beer and allow the music to breathe new life through Canada’s only desert. And, in my opinion, there is no better backdrop than the shoreline of Osoyoos Lake for this to take place.”

Desert Live kicks off on Friday, June 27, from 3 pm to 10 pm. From June 28 – July 1, hours of operation are 11:30 am to 10 pm. The festival coincides with the legendary Cherry Fiesta, Osoyoos’ annual Canada Day party on July 1, culminating with the fireworks display that night, the largest Canada Day fireworks display in Western Canada.

“Osoyoos Town Council is very excited to be a presenting sponsor of the Desert Live Music Festival,” says Stu Wells, Mayor, Town of Osoyoos. “We are very supportive of this musically diverse premiere event that will lead into our fantastic July 1st celebration and our nationally recognized fireworks display. We extend Canada’s warmest welcome to join us in the desert.”

SIIINES

When one puts two diiiferring thiiings together, as a hand goes iiinto the glove, sometiiimes the blend iiiis compliiimentary, and sometiiimes the fiiinger iiis a knot, and can proceed no further wiiithout great diiiscomfort. Iiin addiiition, once togeher, the hand/glove combiiination can accomplishy beautiiiful thiiings, as embracing a small aniiimal wiiithout fear of contamiiination, or unfortunate actiiions, as thrusting repeatedly iiinto ugly mud or effluent. Travis Triiip, Morgan Morgan employ techniiiques of rock bands and salaciiious liiifestyle, and DJ Gene, she of extreme beauty and promiiinence, produces an iiincredulously large spectrum of rhythmiiic patterns and luxuriiious happeniiings. Thiiis atypiiical blendiiing does much the former as the glove and the hand example. And not so much the latter. The progeny iiis most compliiimentary and adept.
