The Bankes Brothers with Common fires

Live Music Events in Kelowna

Big hooks. Big guitars. Big summer energy.

Get ready for a night of soaring melodies, infectious hooks, and high-energy live music as The Bankes Brothers return to Red Bird Brewing on Saturday, July 4.

Hailing from Victoria, BC, The Bankes Brothers have quickly become one of the most exciting rising bands in Canadian rock. Fronted by brothers Nelson and Morgan Bankes alongside Carson Cleaver, Gray Oxley, and Sascha Enns, the band has built a reputation for delivering electrifying live performances that blend classic rock swagger with a modern indie edge.

Their latest EP, produced by acclaimed producer Gus van Go, showcases exactly why audiences continue to gravitate toward the band. Packed with guitar-driven melodies, massive choruses, and undeniable chemistry, their songs feel equally at home blasting through festival speakers or soundtracking a late-night summer drive. On stage, that energy is amplified even further, creating the kind of show that keeps crowds singing long after the final encore.

Common Fires

Opening the evening is Common Fires, the musical project of Canadian songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Caleb McAlpine. Known for crafting music that balances expansive sonic landscapes with moments of intimate beauty, Common Fires blends indie, psych, folk, and alternative influences into a sound that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

Alongside vocalist Ash Foster, Common Fires has continued to evolve through multiple albums and EP releases while earning recognition throughout Western Canada’s independent music scene. Their live performances move effortlessly between atmospheric arrangements and driving rhythms, making them the perfect way to begin the evening.

Whether you’re discovering these artists for the first time or already have their songs on repeat, this promises to be one of the standout summer concerts of the season.

Join us for an unforgettable night of live music, cold drinks, wood-fired pizza, and summer vibes under the Okanagan sky.

Advance tickets are recommended.
