Vieux Farka Touré

On September 9th, Red Bird welcomes Vieux Farka Touré, the Malian guitar virtuoso known worldwide as "The Hendrix of the Sahara”, for a rare Okanagan performance. Son of the legendary Ali Farka Touré, Vieux has spent two decades carving his own path through desert blues, collaborating with the likes of Khruangbin, Dave Matthews, and Derek Trucks along the way. Expect blistering guitar work, an unmistakable charisma, and a room full of people who came for the music and stayed for the pizza and pints. Grab your ticket before this one sells out, trust us, you don't want to be the person who finds out about this show the next morning.
