Live music around Kelowna – Happy New Years!

It’s been another great year for live music in Kelowna.  The inaugural Pop Okanagan festival was a big hit, and lots of Canada’s top indie bands passed through town (and a few went to Penticton’s Barking Parrot instead…K-os, Sloan, Mother Mother and the Sheepdogs) We’re closing the book on 2011, and looking ahead to more festivals, great local artists, and more touring bands passing through the Okanagan!
