This column was founded a few months after Breakout West came to Kelowna.
During three days in 2009, our city was filled with some of the best live music from around Canada. The energy was pretty inspiring, and it left a bit of a legacy of folks eager to support live music in our community.
A friend of mine, Jason Lane, started compiling a list of live music in town. He runs a blog locally called www.laner.ca.
He also sends out a weekly email every week to which you can sign up: http://us6.campaign-archive1.com/?u=912465f885e96e557dd9f5036&id=bc4c3029dc
