Performances

While The Kettle Valley Brakemen continue to tour widely performing at museums, music festivals and special community events throughout the summer, more and more we are performing for private audiences of folks living in gated communities. These situations present us with ideal performing circumstances: intimate venues and interested audiences.    

Public Performances this year (watch for updates):

Saturday April 16th - Penticton Museum - This is an afternoon concert (2:00 pm) and--at the concert intermission--features Barrie Sanford, the dean of Kettle Valley Railway historians giving a brief talk on Perley McPherson (a long time KVR conductor, Penticton alderman and KV Brakemen song subject). Giant FM personality Dennis Walker will MC this show with help from Mayor Janice Perrino of Summerland. There's limited seating so advance tickets are recommended. Call the Museum at 250-490-2451.

Thursday May 5th - Smith and Co. Coffee House (Penticton) - This performance is part of the Penticton Showcase Series promoted by Kyle Anderson. The setting is intimate and you get four local acts for $17.00 per ticket which are available in advance at the venue. Further information: 250-492-5670
