Back in April, we reached out to our readers for help in naming the best of the best people, places and businesses in Kelowna.
In May, we tallied your nominations and came up with a list for you to vote for your favourites in each category.
In June, we counted the votes and celebrated those who reached the podium at our Best of Kelowna party.
Now, we want to celebrate Best Of Kelowna year-round!
This bi-weekly series will showcase the top three winners of select categories and give you some facts about them to help you gain familiarity with who Kelowna voted as the top dogs in their respective fields.
You know them as the people who help fill our venues and streets with beautiful sounds, the ones who make you tear up with pride when you hear them on the radio and the people who have added to the soundtrack of your Saturday nights downtown. These local musicians have spent countless hours on their craft, spreading the word of music throughout our beautiful city and doing it with pride. Here are the top three medalists for the best Local Band or Musician in Kelowna, as voted by you!
The Wild! Are long-standing gold medalists for BOK, having won four times in the last five years.
Back in February of 2017, their new album Wild At Heart bumped Metallica out of their number two spot on the iTunes Rock Charts.
Wild Son has been a Best Of Kelowna medalist for the past five years.
They are headlining Volim Valley Music Festival this September, right here in Kelowna.
Leah is fluent in both of our nation’s official languages and showcases this skill in performances and everyday conversations.
Leah welcomed her adorable son Aedyn Blu, five months ago, and he was one of the brightest stars at our BOK party!
We love to support our thriving community and hardworking locals, and it brings huge smiles to our faces to see such great participation from both the nominees and the voters. Congratulations to all of our nominees, finalists, and medalists and a big thank you to all of you who voted, of course!
