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: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: \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

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?
