Performances

We Brakemen are very supportive of Heritage Days festivals and during 2008 we were happy to headline these events in Naramata, Hedley and Midway.

      

This year our public concert schedule includes:

April 26th (Saturday-afternoon) Penticton Museum - This is a unique Penticton Centennial event. Intimately set inside the Penticton museum, this concert will have as guests of the Centennial Committee, veteran Kettle Valley rail staff plus local students who are keen on trains and history. Thus in one place there'll be the purveyors of KVR history (The Kettle Valley Brakemen) the people who MADE the history (the old KV boys) and those interested in learning the history. Refreshments will be provided after the concert and the kids can mingle with and question the railroaders. Time 3:30 - 5:00 Cost $10.00 per ticket Info: 490-2451

June 21st (Saturday morning) Penticton Heritage Festival. Details 490-2451

June 22nd (Sunday-afternoon) Myra Canyon Trestle Opening

July 1st (Tuesday-afternoon) Hedley Canada Day - This year's festival has The Brakemen playing in Heritage Park, across the street from the Hedley Museum from 12:00 until 1:00. There's a great lunch for purchase and more music to follow. It's a really folksy small town event that's loads of fun. No charge and limited seating is provided.

July 10th (Thursday) - Oliver Music In the Park - This is a beautiful evening! The concert is set behind an old KV Railway station beside the river. It's a free show, just bring your lawn chair.

August 1st (Friday) from 7:30 - 8:15 at Kerry Park in Kelowna. This is part of Kelowna's Parks Alive! program. Bring your lawn chair and join us.

Aug. 9th (Saturday) Midway Railway Museum - This is another Brakemen favourite venue. In past years it has been very hot outside but we perform an acoustic afternoon concert inside the cool museum. For the audience, the setting is so intimate that it's like having a live show in their own living room. Get details from the Midway Museum: 250-449-2614 .

Aug. 16-17th (Saturday and Sunday) Railway Days in Revelstoke - For B.C. train buffs, one of the biggest festivals of the year.
