Free live music has a way of making a Thursday feel like a Friday. On August 27th, Canadian rock ’n’ roll trio Jade Elephant takes the stage at Red Bird Brewing with a free live show from 8-10pm.

Kelowna's own Dawson Gray is coming home. The country singer-songwriter who traded professional baseball for busking on the streets of downtown Kelowna has since racked up 8 million+ streams, sold-out headline shows across Canada, and shared stages with the likes of ERNEST, Dasha, and Jordan Davis. On August 29th, he brings that momentum to the Red Bird stage for one night only. Opening the night are The Redwood Twins, an identical twin duo fresh off a summer of festival stages across Canada, whose acoustic-to-electric live show sets the stage. Expect sharp songwriting, an electric live show, and a vibe crafted from great music and good company. Grab a pint from our diverse tap list, a sizzlin' wood-fired pizza, and get ready to welcome Dawson home. Tickets are limited, grab yours before they sell out!
