ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç

Last week was an amazing week for music. It started Thursday with Shakey Graves coming to town at the ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç Community Theatre.

He is so talented. How one man could stand on stage and have an entire audience hanging onto every note was magical to see and hear. I didn’t think it could get any better, and then the band came on and we were all blown away.

The next time he is in town I swear he will sell out Prospera Place.

I had the opportunity to speak with frontman Alejandro Rose-Garcia prior to his show, read about it in my article, Shakey Graves brings his musical evolution to the Okanagan Valley

Friday night at Doc Willoughby’s Downtown Pub, Jesse Blashill opened for the Colour Tongues and he killed it. He covered Hey Jude by the Beatles, his rendition of it was beautiful and really showed off his vocal range. The Colour Tongues then took the stage and shred dueling guitars through until morning.

Moving on to this weekend, ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç’s Lucky Monkey will release their sophomore album, Nothing to Lose at Doc Willoughby’s Downtown Pub Friday night.

There’s nothing primitive about a rock band whose lead singer struts onto the stage wearing a bowler hat.

When you watch Kassidy Hritzuk sing into Dylan Losell’s face, hardly catch Josh Evans eye from behind this hair as he whirls his drumstick the for the last song of the set and Ryan Zeleznik shreds the guitar like all six strings might snap simultaneously, you have Lucky Monkey.
