Bluegrass Night

Join us every 4th Thursday of the month to enjoy refreshments while listening to some fantastic bluegrass music.

Accomplished Kelowna banjo player, Mickey Reeves, has put together a first-class group of bluegrass pickers to play some favourite bluegrass tunes and to back up our performers. Here is your chance to sing your favourite bluegrass songs on stage, with an amazing group of bluegrass musicians backing you up! 

SIGN UP TO PERFORM

The set list will be organized in advance. Sign-up to perform is available to paid members of the Summerland Bluegrass Society. 

Not a member yet? We’d love to have you join us! Membership is easy and you can become a member at any of our regular Summerland Bluegrass Society jams. Our jams are a welcoming place to meet other musicians, listen to bluegrass music, and join in the fun. Once you become a paid member, you can perform at the Bluegrass Night at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. 

Singers should be ready to sing one or two songs that they can preferably sing from memory. Songs should be ones that you have performed before and that you can confidently sing in front of a crowd. You are welcome to play your instrument of choice while you perform. 

To assist the backup band, songs should come from the Summerland Bluegrass Society Songbook. However, well known bluegrass songs with standard chord progressions are also acceptable. 

The Summerland Bluegrass Society is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bluegrass and old-time country music in the Okanagan region with a vision to create a bluegrass community where singers and musicians, young and old, of all ability levels, may come together to play, sing and exchange knowledge. www.summerlandbluegrass.com

Patrons are welcome to purchase food and drinks from the Roma Nord Bistro located in the Rotary Centre for the Arts. This event is free to attend and no reservations are necessary.

Donations are strongly encouraged to support the musicians and the Summerland Bluegrass Society’s Lawrence Trudeau Bursary. Cash tip jars will be available on the tables, so please bring cash if you’d like to contribute.
