feat. live performance from K Comp Vol. 1 artist Windborn


Kelowna’s Classic Rock station K96.3 and Music BC are excited to announce the launch of K Comp Vol.2 – a compilation disc featuring emerging artists from around the Okanagan. Applications for artists to be part of K Comp Vol. 2 will open to the public on June 3rd, 2011.

Coming off of the success of K Comp Vol. 1 in 2010, K96.3’s station manager Dallas Gray is confident that K Comp Vol. 2 will be even bigger and better, “K96.3 – Kelowna’s Classic Rock had a great idea and Music BC made it happen for us. Last year was a great first year and we are very proud of the end result. I am positive that the K Comp will continue to grow and we look forward to our second year working with Music BC.”.

K96.3 – Kelowna’s Classic Rock and Music BC will kick off applications with a Music BC Schmusic Event on Friday, June 3rd, 2011 at downtown venue Habitat (248 Leon Ave.). The SchMusic event is a chance for local artists and industry to meet, mingle and build contacts in a relaxed setting. The night will also provide local artists with the chance to learn a bit more about Music BC and the K Comp as well as to give them the opportunity to sign up for both.

The event is open to the public and free to attend (including non-Music BC members). The evening will also feature a live performance by K Comp Vol. 1 artist Windborn.

Applications for K Comp Vol. 2 will be open from June 3rd, 2011 until August 12th, 2011. Once submissions are closed, all applications will be juried by a panel of industry professionals who will whittle down applicants to the top 12 artists who will appear on K Comp Vol. 2. On August 19th, 2011, the top 12 artists will then be announced live on air on K96.3 – Kelowna’s Classic Rock.

Being part of K96.3’s K Comp is only one of the perks for artists as they will also take part in a career development series presented by Music BC where they will receive insider tips and mentoring from some of today’s leading music industry professionals.

New to this year, K Comp Vol. 2 artists will have the opportunity to perform on the kickoff night of the Pop Okanagan festival in October – a BreakOut West legacy event produced by the Downtown Kelowna Association and Lush Plush Mixed Media Productions. The festival will take place amongst a number of Downtown Kelowna venues and will provide K Comp artists with the opportunity to hone their skills and perform to a larger festival crowd.
