Get ready for a night of raw energy, powerhouse vocals, and genre-spanning talent as Dawson Gray takes over the Red Bird Brewing outdoor stage on Saturday, August 16, joined by rising blues-rock firestarter Jimi
Dawson Gray
Hailing from Kelowna, Dawson Gray has made a name for himself as one of Canada's fastest-rising country stars. In just three years, he’s played 42 sold-out shows, amassed over 3.5 million streams, and opened for heavy hitters like ERNEST, James Barker Band, and Mackenzie Porter. Whether it’s a full band setup or a stripped-down performance, Dawson’s gritty vocals and honest lyrics always hit home. His band, affectionately known as “The Bar Staff,” features a rotating roster of talented musicians, including viral pianist Ben Dunnill, fiddle player Julia Watson, and others who help bring his vibrant sound to life.
His 2024 singles “Back to Leaving” and “Friends With the Bar Staff” continue to build his momentum, supported by dozens of editorial playlist features and festival appearances like Calgary Stampede, Grey Cup Festival, and Denim On The Diamond. With Dawson at the helm, this show is bound to be a full-throttle ride into the heart of modern Canadian country.
Jimi
Opening the night is Jimi, a fearless blues-rock artist with a smoky voice, electrifying guitar licks, and a story to tell. Raised on a steady diet of Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, and Stevie Nicks, Jimi picked up her first guitar at six and never looked back. From recording her debut EP at 16 to performing across Nashville, Los Angeles, and Singapore, she’s carved out a path that blends vintage soul with fresh fire.
Recently, Jimi returned to her blues roots with viral performances that caught the attention of none other than Bryan Adams, who has now joined her in the studio for upcoming releases. Her sound is bold, unapologetic, and full of emotion—perfectly setting the tone for a dynamic night of live music.
