Lenee’s newly released album Coming Alive reminds devout listeners of her spiritual and sublime songwriting\, inspirational lyrics\, and of course\, sensational guitar playing. The first line of the intro title track (“I’ve got a feeling deep inside”)\, tells you everything you need to know: Lenée’s sixth album is a chronicle of joy and hope\, of self-confidence and empowerment\, of renewal and light. Coming Alive features iconic guitar hooks and powerhouse vocal performances.

She has epic compositions that take one on a journey through time.” \n-Tim Reynolds\, Guitarist for Dave Matthews Band \n“A female singer and guitarist who’s probably one of the more creative in terms of how she plays the guitar.” \n– Guitar Girl Magazine \n“Christie Lenée is a captivating and natural-born composer\, performer\, and guitar wizard.” \n– The Folk Project \n“By mixing fingerstyles\, two-hand tapping\, and improvised percussion\, this acoustic virtuoso is extending the potential of the acoustic guitar.” \n– Guitar World \n“Watching Christie is like watching a master chef bring the best tasting ingredients to your lips!” \n– Ellis Paul\, Folk Icon \n“Christie Lenée is a fine young guitar player\, composer and singer whose depth is surprising in our age!” \n– Tommy Emmanuel\, CGP \n“… One of the most shockingly moving interludes we’ve ever had.

She seemed to radiate joy. “ \n-Craig Havighurst\, Music City Roots\, Nashville\, TN. \n– Full Article: http://musiccityroots.com/blog/british-invasion/ \n“The message in the music of Christie Lenée is crystal-clear and unambiguous. And that message is a celebration of life\, love and joy. The elation in her voice\, the ever-present smile on her face\, her warm and embracing lyrics\, her wonderful between-songs anecdotes\, and her brilliant guitar playing all point directly to that message.” \n– Scott Hopkins\, MusicFest News \nSocial Media: \nHome \n \nhttp://www.facebook.com/christielenee \nhttp://www.youtube.com/christieleneemusic \nhttps://www.instagram.com/christielenee/ \nTweets by ChristieLenee \n \n7:00 PM Doors Open \n7:30 PM – 9:45 PM Performance \n$30+fees \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/christie-lenee-live-at-the-effie-kamloops-bc-tickets-1210225098849

Grab your tickets now and follow them on their socials for updates. \n@Cawstonmusic\nFrom the heart of Kelowna\, BC\, comes Cawston\, a pop-punk band dedicated to breaking down stigmas and sparking conversations about mental health. Jenna Johnson’s compelling lead vocals\, paired with the driving force of Alexis Artiga’s guitar and vocals\, Devin Corbach’s relentless drumming\, and Malcom Artiga’s solid bass lines\, creates a sound that’s both energetic and deeply resonant. Their debut album\, “Therapy Sessions\,” released on June 21\, 2024\, is a testament to their commitment\, featuring powerful singles like “Safe With Me\,” “Sara Tune In\,” and “Strangers.” Cawston isn’t just a band; they’re a community solidifying their place in the Canadian music scene. \n@Chilioband\nBorn in the prairies\, raised on chaos—CHILIØ has been bending genres and breaking expectations since 2016. Based in Calgary\, this band of five beautifully strange dudes fuses pop punk energy with psychedelic and dream-pop textures\, drawing from Sum 41\, Tame Impala\, and RHCP. The result? Cosmic\, cascading\, and angelic tones that hit like nostalgia yet feel fresh as hell.\nTheir debut LP\, “(un)orthodox)” (2022)\, became the official soundtrack to the TELUS documentary Small Town Strength\, earning a Rosie Award nomination and praise from Tuned Up\, V13\, and Yack! Magazine for its fearless sonic fusion. Finn McKenty (Punk Rock MBA) spotlighted their single “Fractals” for its genre-crossing appeal. Now\, their new EP Quarter-Life Crisis (2024) delivers eight anthemic gut-punches about navigating adulthood’s highs\, lows\, and WTF moments—all wrapped in raw honesty and soaring hooks.\nFrom dive bars to festival stages\, CHILIØ has played alongside Sublime with Rome\, Simple Plan\, Wade MacNeil (Alexisonfire)\, Pop Evil\, Wheatus\, and Authority Zero. Their sound isn’t just for one generation—it’s for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider searching for their people. \n@Yearoveryear\nVancouver’s Year Over Year crafts a distinct sound\, merging the introspective vulnerability of Midwest emo with the dynamic energy of rock. Their songs\, filled with soaring melodies and earnest lyrics\, like singles “Laughing” and “Hiding” explore themes of change and growth\, resonating with anyone navigating life’s transitions. \n@Earlyworkband\nFrom the humble beginnings of classified ads and garage jams\, Early Work has emerged\, bringing a fresh take on alt-emo. Their music is a blend of thoughtful songwriting\, powerful melodies\, and a polished DIY sound. \n19+ \n  \nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/ZdZ8BgZyALQFb7ef/event/Z9XeI8hjUCRhXhbh?
