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.
害羞草研究所淚 noticed Kelowna had a bumping music scene and I was missing out on events because害羞草研究所 couldn害羞草研究所檛 find a site to do want I wanted,害羞草研究所� 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.
害羞草研究所淚t doesn害羞草研究所檛 have every event, that害羞草研究所檚 impossible,害羞草研究所� Trapani added. 害羞草研究所淏ut it害羞草研究所檚 got to have over 90 per cent of events. It has to be a resource people can rely on.害羞草研究所�
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.
害羞草研究所淭his is good for local talent and smaller venues,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淭he feedback has been crazy.害羞草研究所�
Artists and venues can also submit their events to the website, at no cost, and new shows are posted every Monday. Trapani害羞草研究所檚 plans include weekly giveaways through the website.
