Live music lovers now have an easier way to find where their favourite artists are playing in Kelowna and surrounding areas.
Graphic and web designer, Michael Trapani, has launched Live Music Kelowna. The website lists hundreds of music events at venues across the Central Okanagan in one place.
含羞草研究社淚 noticed Kelowna had a bumping music scene and I was missing out on events because含羞草研究社 couldn含羞草研究社檛 find a site to do want I wanted,含羞草研究社� said Trapani.
After moving to the city a few years ago, he set to work scouring social media pages, reaching out to venues and build a platform to list music events, searchable by genre, venue, dates and other filters.
含羞草研究社淚t doesn含羞草研究社檛 have every event, that含羞草研究社檚 impossible,含羞草研究社� Trapani added. 含羞草研究社淏ut it含羞草研究社檚 got to have over 90 per cent of events. It has to be a resource people can rely on.含羞草研究社�
Trapani, who also operates Live Music Nelson, pointed out there are more than 76 venues (and counting) in the Central Okanagan with live music. While the websites include larger shows and well-known musicians, his focus is local.
含羞草研究社淭his is good for local talent and smaller venues,含羞草研究社� he said. 含羞草研究社淭he feedback has been crazy.含羞草研究社�
Artists and venues can also submit their events to the website, at no cost, and new shows are posted every Monday. Trapani含羞草研究社檚 plans include weekly giveaways through the website.
