Caetani 2017 summer music

It may still seem like spring in the Okanagan, but summer must be right around the corner. Right? The kick off event of the Caetani Cultural Centre’s annual Summer Music Series is a great sign that things are going to change for the better!

Entering its fourth year, the Music Series showcases amazing talent from the Okanagan Valley, who will take the stage the last Sunday of every month (2:00 pm, May – September) at the beautiful Caetani gardens and natural amphitheater.

The May 28th launch will feature the amazing vocals, songwriting and pure raw talent that is Joshua Smith and Kelowna Folk duo Tiger Moon. 

Joshua Smith, who will be opening the show has carved a niche for himself in the Okanagan with his very own brand of East Coast-Soul-Folk music. What one could suggest as being a Soul-inspired, captivating experience, Joshua is a singer/songwriter who mingles catchy clever lines and infectious vocals in the company of playful story telling. With a nod to “Motown”, Joshua Smith captures tradition and folk-friendly modernism with his songwriting prowess. Imagine if Marvin Gaye, Hank Williams & Paul Simon went on a road trip to Nashville.

Headlining the afternoon performance will be Tiger Moon a Western Canadian folk duo that boasts harmonious sounds, heartfelt melodies, and foot-stomping rhythms. This is a pair to be reckoned with. They perform with a guitar, mandolin, two sets of boots and two big, rich voices. Drawing their sound from traditional folk, Canadiana, soul and rock, they are a minimalist barn-burning band with syrupsoaked harmonies.

Gear up for summer Vernon! Bring your blankets, folding chairs, and even a picnic and enjoy a relaxing afternoon of music presented by the Caetani Centre. Each show begins at 2:00 pm; RAIN OR SHINE and a selection of refreshments will be available for purchase.
