Thomas Kjorven
Thomas Kjorven is musician/singer-songwriter/producer currently residing in Kelowna, BC. With his unique blend of blues and jazz, Kjorven brings a fresh blend of soul to the piano-coustic scene. Four years after his first EP and 2 studio albums, Kjorven is booking showcases around BC and finished up his newest album featuring the single 'Bad Boy.' New album "Free Me With a Melody" is available for purchase on iTunes!
Stolen Coast
Formed in 2008, the brother and sister duo of James and Candace Balfour officially put a name to something that had always come naturally to them; making and performing music together. “Our goal with this recording project was to discover where the creative journey would take us.” Dividing their time between Vancouver and Kelowna, and skyping song ideas when they couldn't be together, the cd was finally finished in 2009. Grounded in rock and roll, Stolen Coast uses tight harmonies, hooky guitar riffs, and the occasional cello bow across the strings of a effects-laden guitar to navigate their creative wanderings. As a result, their self-titled album renders ten songs that each tell their own story. Sharing vocals, song writing and the stage, Stolen Coast delivers a thoughtful, quirky and passionate performance. Together they’re discovering a unique sound and a diverse audience.
Jeff Piattelli
This 18 year-old was born and raised in Kelowna, BC, and all his life he's had a certain love for music. Piatelli started playing guitar when he was 13 and hasn't found a reason to put it down since. A self taught guitarist and singer, Piattelli writes all his own music and lyrics. He spent the better part of 3 or 4 years in various metal bands but never quite went the direction he looked to take as a musician. In 2007, Piattelli decided to make a complete 180 and became a singer/songwriter. It was in this state that he felt the most comfortable, and soon grew to love. To date, Piattelli has played at Kelowna's Wakefest, Winning the Lee's Music Battle of the Bands, Dry Grad Radio Star, as well as hearing his song 'Beatiful Things' played on local radio stations. He recently recorded a CD titled "Listen In" at B&G studios. You can listen to it on his MySpace.
The Flu
the Flu is a tight three piece group from BC, formed under a heavy 90’s influence. The boys have been playing together for years, including their childhood, spawning a unique spectrum of songs tied together through common emotionally and politically charged beliefs. This bond values itself among the musicians, fulfilling ideas and thoughts to be fleshed out into reality from the near abyss of each mind. With songs created to fit so many moods, the Flu looks to be a versatile band with a common sound to fall upon, and songs that tell the hidden story of three musicians. After experiencing the rush of performing live and dealing with the time consuming job of writing, composing and recording, the Flu continues to grow and mature, directed by three musical vessels. Stretching out to a common society of people, the boys hope to create some kind of reaction of the body and soul…
