Joce Reyome has been dedicated to cultivating their distinctive sound which blends classic blues sound with raw vocals, and a throwback to the rich origins of uninhibited rock. Their sound is infused with inspiration from the likes of Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, and Tracy Chapman. Reyome performs with such genuine authenticity, it makes you forget they’re a genuine rascal about town. While they perform, they’re not just playing music for you, they’re leading you on a journey of complex heartbreak, blended with humorous interludes, and love personified.

Winner of the 2025 Solo/Duo Category of the International Blues Challenge, Reyome, a genuine soul, brings authenticity to their performances, turning audiences into active participants in a journey through heartbreak and humour. With performances on the Confederation Centre of the Arts main stage, at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, at JUNOfest 2024, at the East Coast Music Awards and more, they have captivated audiences across Atlantic Canada.

Better Than Before- The Soundwriters Album Release Party
2025-10-24 19:30 - 23:00 | The Effie, 422 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, British Columbia, V2B 3G8, Canada
It’s time to celebrate the new album from The Soundwriters, Better Than Before! Original music, great venue, local talent, and more!
TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/better-than-before-the-soundwriters-album-release-party-tickets-1736358959389
The Kamloops-based Indie pop duo, The Soundwriters, have just released their highly anticipated album, Better Than Before. The 13 original songs showcase their musical chemistry through charming songwriting, skilled vocals, and polished instrumentals. Sam and Emma (aka The Sound and The Writer) have been collaborating in this band for 3 years, with an EP and some singles already out, though it really all started for them as little jam sessions on Friday nights. What began as a hobby turned into a passion project that has helped turn them into better people, musicians, and partners. I suppose you could say it’s made them “Better Than Before” (see what I did there?). Now, on Friday, October 24th, 2025, the duo will perform every song from their new album, plus an array of other material!
As if the night couldn’t get any more magical, singer/ songwriter Kris Ruston will be there to open up the night. Ruston is a local musician/producer/ composer with a gorgeous sound, striking lyrics, and a fresh album of his own out this fall! Next up on stage will be the up-and-coming Kamloops folk/rock trio, Bushmen. This trio is sure to put a smile on your face and get you moving, with their Canaidana sound and playful lyrics. Can’t think of a better lineup for the Better Than Before album release party!
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to check out some Kamloops bands, this is the night! Great bands, great venue, and a great reason to celebrate.
Doors at 7, show at 7:30.

Ben Caplan The Flood Tour
2025-11-09 19:30 | The Effie, 422 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, British Columbia, V2B 3G8, Canada
Ben Caplan The Flood Tour

TICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aEvNnFpd36LuunTf

Ben Caplan has always defied easy categorization. With his deep, commanding baritone and electrifying stage presence, he merges the raw energy of diverse folk traditions with modern innovation. His music isn’t just performed; it’s experienced. Now, with The Flood, Caplan takes his artistry to new depths, crafting an album that meditates on endings, resilience, and the art of carrying wisdom forward. Scheduled for release in May 2025, The Flood is both timely and timeless. “The world is ending for someone all the time,” Caplan muses. “But endings aren’t absolute. Cultures, ecosystems, civilizations—they evolve, adapt. This album is about finding the pieces that survive and carrying them forward.” Musically, The Flood is a collision of past and future. Melodically tilted towards the folk traditions of Eastern Europe, the album reinvents these sounds with timeless lyrics and modern production. Clarinet melodies soar over pulsing synthesizers; grand pianos give way to sequenced rhythms. The result is an intricate sonic tapestry—both ancient and urgent. With nearly 2,000 performances across 27 countries, Caplan’s live shows are known for their raw energy and emotional depth. The Flood is designed with the stage in mind—its seamless transitions and dynamic arrangements promise an immersive concert experience. “Music holds space for people. My hope is that this project allows listeners to confront the grief of endings, but also find joy in what’s ahead.”

With Special Guest, Horse Funeral. Horse Funeral is music performed by Chris Bose, writer, multi-disciplinary artist, musician, curator and filmmaker.
With over 20 years of experience in documenting and amplifying Indigenous voices through digital storytelling. Chris’ background includes extensive work in film production, sound recording, and visual arts, with a focus on capturing authentic narratives and preserving cultural heritage.

His stand-up special, available on Hulu and Amazon Prime, has taken his Atlantic Canadian tales global — delighting audiences as far away as Japan, Germany, and the U.S.
A true powerhouse of comedy, Mullinger made headlines when he sold out Harbour Station Arena in Saint John, New Brunswick, outselling Jerry Seinfeld, Iron Maiden, and Def Leppard. He did it again in 2018, breaking his own record and solidifying his place among comedy’s elite.
“I can’t wait to return to Kamloops — one of my favourite cities to perform in! The energy, the people, and the views are incredible,” says Mullinger. “I love grabbing coffee at Caffe Motivo, walking Riverside Park, and soaking in those mountain vistas.”

Vancouver’s Brass Camel is a rock band that defies labels, fusing deep-pocket funk, face-melting prog, and massive-harmony art rock. Their musicianship and work ethic have earned endorsements from Sabian, Rotosound UK, and Vater, and since releasing their debut album Brass in 2022, they’ve played over 150 shows, including three national Canadian tours, major festivals (Between the Peaks, Starbelly Jam, Wapiti), and stages like Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom, Vogue Theatre, and a Toronto headliner at the historic Longboat Hall. In 2024, their cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please on Musora’s Covers Challenge went viral, drawing 700,000+ views. Their sophomore album Camel (spring 2024) brought international press, reaction videos, and steady LP sales. While touring, the band began recording a third LP at Chalet Studios with Kevin Comeau of Crown Lands co-producing. Mixed by legendary Terry Brown (Rush, Hendrix, The Who, Blue Rodeo), the upcoming spring 2026 release marks a bold leap in songwriting, distilling Brass Camel’s road-forged sound into something entirely their own.

Also appearing for a special Rob’s Birthday appearance, The Houses (Where We Grew Up) will open the show. The Houses are a Kamloops Indie Rock & Pop Duo, blending in elements of shoegaze and noise rock. Described as “if Radiohead decided to have fun with loud amps again”, “Canadian Slowgaze” and “noisy pop with idiosyncratic quirks”.
