Blue Jay Sessions
Proudly presented by Craig Senyk Initiatives, Blue Jay Sessions: Valley Edition marks the first-time our award-winning songwriters event series has taken place in the Okanagan.
We’ve got one heck of an amazing lineup of Canadian singer-songwriters, so you’re not going to want to miss all the fun from Sept. 10-Sept. 12 in downtown Kelowna at Friends of Dorothy.
With plenty of notable Canadian country acts incl. Teigen Gayse, Shantaia, The Prairie States, Chevy Beaulieu and Brandi Sidoryk as well as plenty of new-to-you voices that should be heard, make sure to get your seats to a session, a night, or maybe even a couple nights of captivating songs and stories.
And we might even have a few surprise guests over the three nights and pop-up comedy and drag performances by our unofficial first lady of Blue Jay Sessions, comedian extraordinaire Karla Marx. 😉
ANYWAY, full lineup below and you can head to @thebluejaysessions on Instagram to follow all of our awesome performers too!

FOOD AND DRINK
Make sure to save room for fun eats and VERY REFRESHING (and maybe even more fun!) cocktails from Friends of Dorthy. This cool, central venue is going to a lively spot for all things Blue Jay Sessions this CCMA Awards Week, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
CHARITABLE SUPPORT
Partial proceeds of ticket sales will be donated to The Bridge and its Etcetera youth group. A weekly, facilitated program for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and allies.
