Live Music Events in Kelowna

Heartfelt Folk to warm the soul

What if the best night of your week landed on a Tuesday? On November 17th from 7 to 10 pm, Red Bird Brewing hosts an evening of live folk music with Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bernard Fitzgerald and special guest Merrick Winter. If you’ve been searching for live music events in Kelowna that feel like a gathering of friends, this might just be the show for you.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter whose career has been built on heartfelt songwriting, optimism and genuine human connection. Emerging from Calgary’s music scene in the mid-2000s, he has built an international following through six full-length albums and relentless touring across Canada, the United States, the UK and beyond. Along the way he has shared stages with Bryan Adams, Ben Harper, Kings of Leon, Sam Roberts, Michael Franti and Dan Mangan.

His early releases established a soulful, upbeat acoustic style, and songs like “I Wanna Make It With You” and “One Love” brought him chart success and a wider audience. Over the years, his sound has settled into something more grounded and intimate. Critics praise his warm voice, his poetic eye for everyday life and his gift for finding emotional weight in simple moments. His album Love Valley was celebrated for its warmth, honesty and healing spirit, and his Greenbriar touring project turned his live shows into intimate experiences built around conversation and connection.

Fitzgerald has always believed that a song can bring people closer together, one room, one story and one listener at a time.

Merrick Winter opens the evening, setting the stage for a cozy night of warmth and connection.
