JUNO Excitement Hits Kelowna with Let’s Hear It! LIVE
Vancouver has been home to many large-scale events, which engulf the city in a buzz of activity. In preparation for JUNO Week 2018, the Let’s Hear It! – JUNO Host Committee wanted to ensure the JUNO experience was broadened and could be shared by all British Columbians.
Extending the spirit of the Let’s Hear It! LIVE festival happening in downtown Vancouver, they are taking the show on the road to Kelowna on Wednesday, March 21 at 7pm at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Hosted by CBC Daybreak South host, Chris Walker, performers include previous JUNO winner and 2018 nominee, DJ Shub; East Vancouver’s The Boom Booms; Vancouver’s Little Destroyer, supported by Okanagan local Andrew Allen as the opening act. Tickets are $15 and available at https://www.kelownatickets.com/events/event/JunoTourKelowna.
“Music is not metropolitan-centric. We have burgeoning pockets of musicality all throughout this province and it’s important that Canada’s largest music awards ceremony be able to touch as many Canadians as we possibly can,” shared Nick Blasko, 2018 JUNO Host Committee Co-Chair.
The show will culminate in Vancouver on Friday, March 23 at the Vancouver Art Gallery as the Let’s Hear It! LIVE festival site presented by CBC Music and CBC Vancouver kicks off. A free, all ages event that will include local artists such as The Funk Hunters, Khanvict, Desi Subculture, Peach Pit, Horsepowar, Mob Bounce, DJ Kookum, Conro, Shawn Austin, Astrocolor, Imur, Chersea and more!
