Djangos Jewels with Kansas-Lee & DL Ranney (Past Event)

Live Music Events in Kelowna

Gypsy Jazz, Surf Twang and Toe-Tapping Tunes

Grab a table and settle in, because Red Bird Brewing is about to get a whole lot jazzier.

On Saturday, September 19th, Django’s Jewels bring their genre-bending sound to our stage for a free show of that proves live music in Kelowna doesn’t get more original than this.

Django’s Jewels are a collective of seasoned BC musicians who take gypsy jazz and old-timey standards and run them through a filter of surf rock twang and world music flavour. The result is a sound that’s equal parts vintage speakeasy and beachside dance party, and it’s exactly the kind of unexpected mash-up that keeps our regulars coming back. This crew has spent years crisscrossing the BC music circuit, sharpening a live show that’s earned a reputation for being an absolute can’t-miss.

Expect virtuosic musicianship, playful energy and enough toe-tapping tunes to get even the most reluctant dancers moving.

Whether you’re a longtime gypsy jazz fan or you’ve never heard of the genre and just want a great night out in the Okanagan, Django’s Jewels at Red Bird Brewing is shaping up to be one of Kelowna’s must-see concerts this September.

Kansas Lee & DL Ranney

Opening the night is Kansas-lee, a singer-songwriter who has spent over a decade honing her craft and has the soulful folk sound to prove it. Her latest studio album, “Ostara,” is the culmination of that journey, showcasing a powerful voice, intricate guitar rhythms and lyrics with the kind of quiet potency that lingers long after the last note.

It’s the perfect warm-up to a night of genre-bending music, setting an intimate tone before Django’s Jewels take things in a completely different, equally wonderful direction.

Grab your friends, come on by, and enjoy a sound-bending show.
