Live Music Events in Kelowna

Roots, heart, and soul—one unforgettable night of live music.

Get ready for a night of soulful storytelling and roots-driven rock as the Dan Tait Band returns to the Red Bird stage. Known for their heartfelt lyrics, rich harmonies, and an unmistakable Okanagan sound, this group delivers an evening that’s as honest as it is electrifying. Their music—rooted in Americana and folk—feels like a conversation between old friends, full of truth, grit, and warmth.


The Dan Tait Band brings an honest, rootsy blend of Americana and rock to the stage—songs that dig into real life with heart and conviction. Fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Tait, the group features D’Arcy Booth, one of the Okanagan’s most respected bass players (Devon Coyote, Graham Ord); powerhouse drummer Rod Anderson, who’s toured the world behind the kit; and Gary Talman, a Scottish guitarist with a knack for soulful, melodic leads. The band is often joined by Aidan Mayes, whose harmonies and keys add warmth and depth to the sound. Together they craft music that feels lived-in, honest, and human.

Ayla Buckberry

Opening the night is rising Kelowna singer-songwriter Ayla Buckberry, whose sound blends the warmth of folk, the grit of country, and the soul of jazz into something timeless and deeply personal. Drawing comparisons to Alanis Morissette, Jewel, and Gracie Abrams, Ayla delivers unapologetically honest songs that explore self-discovery, vulnerability, and growth. With her soulful vocals and raw lyrical storytelling, she’s quickly making waves in Kelowna’s indie scene—and her live performances leave audiences feeling both grounded and inspired.
