Kelowna, BC – GonzoOkanagan.com announces the full lineup of entertainment for the Gonzo Okanagan People’s Choice Music Awards red carpet gala that takes place on June 16th at Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club in Kelowna. The event, hosted by Master of Ceremonies Sydney Morton from CHBC Global Okanagan, will open followed by live entertainment and announcements of the award winners.

Joining Morton on stage will be local comedian David Kopp from KelownaComedy.ca. Take your seat, order drinks and dinner and get ready for some laughs as Kopp gets the crowd ready for a fantastic evening of live music and musical appreciation—with performances by Bobby Bovenzi, Dirt Road Opera, Rhindress, and Leila Neverland.

  • Master rhythm instructor and owner operator of Nankama World Beat, Bobby Bovenzi from Okanagan Falls, will lead audience members into a lively drum circle in celebration of music and community—demonstrating all our hearts can beat as one.
  • Dirt Road Opera—led by Juno nominees Barry Mathers and Rachel Matkin—graces the stage with extraordinary harmonies, great songwriting, and stellar musicianship. The band welcomes two new brilliant multi-instrumentalists, Robert Bailey and Mike Brown, to the roots/Americana band.
  • High energy country rock band, Rhindress, enjoys stirring it up with a touch of folk and Celtic flavours. Their newest album, Cut Flowers, described as a bouquet of Canadian songs, is sure to lift your Canadian spirit. Jim and Kim Rhindress are joined by BCCMA nominee Cyril Schermann, Scott Evans, and Bob Silversides.
  • Leila Neverland’s iconic voice, raw stage presence, and soulful performances transcend all expectations as this composer, pianist, and brilliant vocalist takes you on a journey of musical genius. Uniquely magnificent, Neverland is a gift to all who want to express themselves through music.

Dinner and beverages will be available to purchase from the Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club menu.
