Ben Klick - Cliché Country Boy

Ben Klick is a super talented Kelowna country artist. A first round 2017 JUNO Award nominee and a 2016 BCCMA Award winner, Klick is already making waves and appears to have a long and successful career ahead of him. This tune - Cliché Country Boy - is my favourite of his. You can catch this guitar pickin' country gentleman performing locally this fall - he’ll be at the Creekside Theatre on November 23rd. Keep an eye on Klick’s official website here.

Yukon Blonde - Crazy

Yukon Blonde got their start in Kelowna back in 2005. In those days, the indie rockers were known as Alpha Baby. They have since moved to Vancouver, but they do perform quite regularly in Kelowna. In fact, Yukon Blonde will be back in Kelowna this fall - they’re playing the Kelowna Community Theatre with the Rural Alberta Advantage on November 25th. Find Yukon Blonde online via their official website. Check out their song, Crazy, below...

And before I go, here’s an interesting little tidbit for you - did you know there’s a band from London, England called “Kelowna Reach”? It’s true. Pretty cool, eh? Check them out here.
