SUMMARY:Level Up Tour! With Cawston\, CHILIØ\, Year Over Year and Early Work
DESCRIPTION:Time to LEVEL UP! Cawston & Chilio are hitting cities across Canada\, all the way from Vancouver BC to Halifax NS!\n\nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/ZdZ8BgZyALQFb7ef/event/Z9XeI8hjUCRhXhbh? \nJoin them on this cross-country journey\, delivering high-energy performances with old hits and new tracks. \nWith special guests Year over Year and Cursed Words. Check the poster for dates across the Great White North. 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?

SUMMARY:CHRISTIE LENÉE LIVE AT THE EFFIE - Kamloops\, BC
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/christie-lenee-live-at-the-effie-kamloops-bc-tickets-1210225098849 \n7:00 PM Doors Open \n7:30 PM – 9:45 PM Performance \n$30+fees \n“Acoustic Guitarist of the Year” and celebrated singer/songwriter Christie Lenée is more than a musician – she’s an experience. Symphonic compositions flow from her fingertips effortlessly\, with sound ranging from transcendental folk-pop to virtuosic instrumentals. Christie has been described as “Dave Matthews meets Joni Mitchell and Michael Hedges\,” integrating melodic pop lyricism with catchy hooks and percussive\, harmonic textures. Since achieving 1 st place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 2017\, her captivating performances have been seen on stages with Tommy Emmanuel\, Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews Band)\, Andy McKee\, Amy Ray (Indigo Girls)\, Melissa Etheridge\, Antigone Rising\, Kaki King\, Jake Shimabukoro and Christopher Cross to name a few. \nFeatured on the Grammy Museum’s virtual program streaming from Los Angeles\, a 2x Finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition\, plus a variety of articles in Guitar Player Magazine\, Acoustic Guitar Magazine\, and the recent notability of “Best Acoustic Guitarists in the World Right Now” (Guitar World Magazine)\, Christie continues to awe crowds with the unique essence of her music. 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 collaborated with a bevy of talented musicians on the album\, including co-producer Matthew Odmark (Jars of Clay)\, drummer Keith Carlock (Steely Dan\, Toto\, Sting\, John Mayer)\, bassist Adam Nitti (Kenny Loggins\, Carrie Underwood\, Susan Tedeschi)\, and keyboardist Charlie Lowell (Jars of Clay). It was a dream lineup put together to create Lenée’s quintessential statement piece. \nChristie was recently featured in Go Magazine\, Americana Highways\, Bluegrass Situation\, Country Queer and Acoustic Guitar Magazine. With a new album in hand\, she’s Coming Alive – right on time. \n“Watching Christie Lenée perform her solo acoustic act is like seeing a firecracker execute a high-wire circus routine while doing flips and juggling flaming bowling pins.” \n– Jimmy Leslie\, Guitar Player Magazine \n“Christie Lenée is a wonderful spirit making beautiful music on the guitar. 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. It was more than the fluid\, neck-tapping virtuosity. 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: \nhttp://www.christielenee.com \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

SUMMARY:Bealby Point Live at The Effie Arts Collective!
DESCRIPTION:Kamloops!! We are finally making our return after last years flat tire debacle….We are very excited to see you all soon! \n\n\n\n\n\nBealby Point Live at The Effie Arts Collective! \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/bealby-point-live-at-the-effie-arts-collective-tickets-1233888968119 \nWe are so excited to finally be returning to Kamloops!! Last time out we had an unfortunate flat tire which forced us to miss our Kamloops show… But we are SO back and out for redemption! We cant wait to see you all very soon!! \n\nIn a world full of micro-influencers\, digital grifters\, and spon-con hucksters\, Vancouver quartet Bealby Point offers a simple promise: what you see is what you get. Formed in 2018\, the indie rockers have built a sterling reputation thanks to their polished live performances and intricate\, approachable songwriting. Drawing inspiration from alt-rock icons including The Strokes\, Weezer\, Young The Giant\, and Red Hot Chili Peppers\, the boys’ signature sound centers on big hooks\, big solos\, and even bigger grooves. While the path forward has been at times rocky\, with the four members struggling to navigate the realities of working-class creative life in one of the world’s most expensive cities\, the challenges have only brought them closer together. Brotherly love is the basis for everything Bealby Point does\, and their recent   sessions are no exception. Produced by their trusted sound engineer JJ Heath\, the band’s new material was recorded at the small but stylish studio\, Phony Records. Situated across the inlet from where they grew up riding bikes and sneaking beers\, the new material\, recorded in early 2024\, bridges the gap between fantasy and nostalgia\, with Armstrong offering a cinematic perspective on the passing of time. Indeed\, songs like “Fairytale” and “Better Off Eventually” find Bealby Point basking in a summer sunset\, but also increasingly aware of the long shadow that it casts. Since 2022\, the band has built a devoted following in the Greater Vancouver Area\, playing sold-out shows at several well-known venues including The Fox Cabaret (April 2022\, March 2023)\, Fortune Sound Club (August 2022)\, The Rickshaw Theatre (April 2023)\, and The Pearl (September 2023). They have also taken their show on the road in 2024\, playing 9 shows on their self booked and promoted Western Canadian “What’s the Point” Tour including a showcase at NXNE in Toronto\, and have opened for exciting acts including\, The Jins\, and MONOWHALES. As of July 2024\, they have amassed 1\,207\,422 streams on Spotify. With their foundation firmly entrenched in their home province\, the band will embark on the next chapter of its career by touring Western Canada for the second time in March 2025. Along the way\, they will visit their namesake\, just north of Nelson\, B.C.\, to draw inspiration for future material. With a renewed sense of purpose\, Bealby Point wants nothing more than to sit back and enjoy the ride. To chase down a dream on that not-so-distant horizon. They hope you will join them\n\n\nMinors allowed accompanied by an adult until 10pm \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/bealby-point-live-at-the-effie-arts-collective-tickets-1233888968119

SUMMARY:Miesha & the Spanks with Minx
DESCRIPTION:Miesha and The Spanks are back in Kamloops with local buds MINX! \nDoors 7:30pm // Music 8pm $20 Adv // $25 Door \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1254110441089 \nWhere have all the riot grrrls gone? You ask – Miesha & The Spanks answer. If you’ve got a yearning for flashy yet classic hard rock\, look no further – this Calgary-based duo has the guitar hero-worshipping\, face melting\, whisky belting sound that you’ve been seeking. A modern singer/guitarist and beloved fixture on the local scene\, frontwoman Miesha Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha & The Spanks. A mixed-Secwépemc artist living in Treaty 7 Territory\, she’s devoted her entire career to inventing and playing instrumentally brilliant melodies that unleash her passions and her full-throated vocal tones. As a result\, Miesha & The Spanks have become a tighter and more muscular version of themselves with each new release. Miesha’s riffs are as quintessentially rock as they come. Her anarchic\, femme-powered vibes causing audiences to erupt in devil-horn-raising celebration of razor-sharp hooks delivered with fire and flare. Percussionist Sean Hamilton (an accomplished singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist in his own right) is her psychic counterpart\, intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity that simultaneously elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters. From their inception\, Miesha & The Spanks has chronicled their ascent through a post-punk modernist lens that speaks of a love affair with early-nineties underground and grunge bands. 2021 Nominees for Rock Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards\, the proudly DIY outfit packs a sound befitting a group from Portland or Seattle. With a resume that boasts performing as direct support to Queens Of The Stone Age\, Death From Above 1979\, Hot Snakes\, Propagandhi\, Pack AD\, White Lung\, Reignwolf and countless others\, Miesha & The Spanks can be seductive and stirring\, or gritty and urgent depending on what the situation calls for. Whether entertaining the heavier/doomier crowd or belting out epic rock heartbreakers\, their musical journeys remain firmly grounded in punchy riffs and catchy choruses. With all of this poetic leather-jacket wickedness in its prime\, comparisons are inevitable; Kim Gordon; PJ Harvey\, Joan Jett\, Melissa Auf der Maur\, Sleater-Kinney\, St. Vincent – you get the idea – it’s all expected\, but never taken for granted. Naturally gifted with a knack for relentlessly channeling the garage rock greats of yore\, Miesha & The Spanks prefer to be perfectly frank. They don’t shy away from the darkness. Armed with a black sense of humour and a serious howl. Nothing is beyond their grasp. Their next full album “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi” will be released on Mint Records on April 14 this year. \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1254110441089 \n+++++++ \n“infectious production smashes down our self-doubts and urges us to dream as big as we want.” – EARMILK \n“a sizeable dosage of feel-good vibes peppered with a dash of teenage angst” – Wonderland Magazine \n“…blistering guitar work and motorik drum fills” – Northern Transmissions “Gritty\, grungy\, rock.” – Alan Cross

SUMMARY:Late Hours Western Canada Tour
DESCRIPTION:LATE HOURS \nWESTERN CANADA TOUR 2025 \nMUSIC BY KARL HIRZER & JOSUÉ VALDEPEÑAS \nFILMS BY BRADEN DERENIWSKI & VICKI VAN CHAU \nSPECIAL GUEST DANIELA CINEL \nDoors 6:30 Show 7:00pm \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1234318633259 \nProminent figures in the Canadian classical music scene\, Karl Hirzer and Josué Valdepeñas perform standard works from the modern and classical repertoire in addition to original songs\, mixing electronic and acoustic instruments. Drawing from a wide variety of influences\, their music has been described as “heady and psychedelic” and “Satie meets Radiohead”. \nBased on Hirzer and Valdepeñas’ track of the same name\, Crystal Clear is an innovative and gripping music and dance film. It follows a young woman who undertakes a visceral journey through her own psyche as she reflects on both her actions and the events that will decide her fate. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Braden Dereniwski\, it features captivating performances by Kelsie Vanstone and Ashley Mae Johnston\, with choreography by Yukichi Hattori. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Calgary Arts Development for this film. \nFeaturing and inspired by Hirzer’s track Daphne and Desmond\, off his recent album Relaxer Distractor\, In Tandem is a short film shot on Super 8 by awardwinning filmmaker Vicki Van Chau. It is a love letter to the meaningful spaces between two cities\, where Hirzer found sources of inspiration\, nostalgia and the feeling of home. Recently it received the ‘Best Experimental’ award at the 2024 Edmonton Short Film Festival. This film is supported by the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society and the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. \nTraversing the multi-sensory landscape\, Canadian artist Daniela Cinel O’Fee creates immersive experiences to investigate the flux between acoustic and visual realms. With a Bachelor of Music degree from University of Victoria\, Daniela has worked as a pianist\, director\, composer and educator in British Columbia for over forty years. Informed by her sonic curiosity\, her practice extends the act of listening beyond traditional music making toward experimental intermedia using repurposed instrument parts\, obsolete media machines\, sculptural installation\, field recording\, performative soundwalks and graphic scores. \nRuntime: Approx. 130 minute performance including 1 intermission. \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1234318633259

Now she’s so busy performing\, her couch misses her. Helen’s comedy draws from her varied life experiences and trips around the globe. She’s not afraid to share — the good\, the bad and the ugly — and audiences love her sincere and relatable style. Helen has performed all across the lower mainland and Vancouver Island. She was runner-up in the 2019 BC Funniest New Female Comic contest\, and was the opening comic for the 2020 “I Am Woman Hear Me Laff” tour and 2022 Chutzpah Festival. Helen’s favourite review: “I really liked the pretty one with the weird accent.” \nSyd Bosel \nSyd Bosel is a stand-up comedian and comedic storyteller. \n“That Older Lady was Really Funny”(Gen X audience member\, Victoria\, BC) and“My wife laughed so hard\, she peed a little” (A loving husband whispering into my ear\, Vancouver\, BC) \nSyd Bosel\, is a Nationally touring headliner who spills your life out onto the stage as she shares her tales of “adult” children\, surviving breast cancer\, menopause\, and other glories of nature. \nSyd did her comedy training\, and cut her comedy teeth in Vancouver\, BC and recently moved to Comox\, BC. https://www.sydbosel.com/ \nSyd’s Credentials\n2024; Syd placed first in Yuk Yuk’s Western Canada’s\, “THE YUK OFF”. \n2023; She was voted “Best of the Fest” for the Nanaimo Fringe Festival. \n2022; Got 4 Yeses in “Canada’s Got Talent”. \n2022; placed 2nd (out of 65 comics) in the “Funniest Person with a Day Job” competition. \n2019; Was a finalist in the “Great Canadian Yuk Off”. \n2018; Voted Fan Favourite and winner of BC’s Funniest New Female Comic \nAilish Evans \nAilish entered the Kamloops comedy scene in the summer of 2022 and has not been kicked out yet. Their humor mainly revolves around the way they view the world and the inner thoughts that they suppress until they hit the stage \nErika Berg \nErika is an angsty nepobaby with a knack for self deprecating quips n’ bits! She calls Kamloops her home\, living comfortably (and legally) in her friend’s basement with a former street dog that’s way prettier than her. She stumbled upon the Kamloops comedy scene about a year ago\, and it’s been the weirdest and best decision she’s ever made. \n  \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1243638168239
