Do you want to be considered to perform at our showcase on Monday, March 13, 2023 between 6 and 9 pm at the Creekside Theatre? *

Up to six local musicians/groups will be selected to play a 15 - 20 minute showcase for talent buyers, including from Creative Okanagan for Music in the Park in West Kelowna, Live in Lake Country, Festivals Kelowna for Parks Alive in Kelowna and Rebellious Unicorns for various opportunities. Artists must be prepared to bring all of their own instruments and gear, including drum kits, to perform. The showcase is intended for emerging artists who have never been hired to perform at Music in the Park in West Kelowna or Live in Lake Country. The talent buyers will provide some written feedback to those who perform. This is intended to help the talent buyers make decisions about artists they want to book in 2023 or beyond. Being selected to perform at the showcase does not guarantee future performances. Funding is pending for this activity. Details are subject to change.

Is there anything else you would like us to know:

If members are comfortable sharing their cultural and/or gender identities or if any one is a member of an equity seeking/deserving group this can share this here.
