Songwriters hit right notes

 

One of the nine musicians performing in Lake Country tonight will become a fixture in the local music scene this summer.

Musicians made it through the first round of the Lake Country Open Mic competition by impressing the judges and audience with their original songs.

The finals are tonight starting at 7 p.m. at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. It's a free event

“It truly is one of the best opportunities for our new emerging songwriters to be discovered so that they can perform on stages throughout the Okanagan. We are looking forward to featuring some of the best talent discovered through this process at our free concerts this summer,” said Ryan Donn, Lake Country's cultural development co-ordinator.

On the line is the chance to perform through the Okanagan, including venues such as the IPE, Sunshine Festival, LIVE in Lake Country, Parks Alive, and Peachfest. 

The winner also receives professional audio recording/production time with DMA Studios.

Finalists are Hugh Spinney, Shaedan Hawse, Michael Painchaud, David Wylie, Dale Ziech, Nolan Penner, Eric Hiltz, Santana Cabral, and Juan O’Quinn.
