BRIEFS: Live music without ever leaving your living room
House concerts return to Kamloops starting this week.
On Thursday, Feb. 14, and Friday, Feb. 15, Kim Dunn will play at city homes in downtown Kamloops or Rayleigh.
Dunn, who hails from Nova Scotia, has his own band and plays with many other well-known musicians, including Rita MacNeil.
His website is kimdunn.ca.
HomeRoutes Concerts are organized to bring live music to smaller communities, with the goals of enabling more musicians to make a viable living and promoting acoustic music in smaller settings where the performer and audience can interact.
Hosts provide the venue, accommodation and meals for the musician, as well as beverages and treats for the audience.
The $20 admission goes directly to the musician, with a small percentage to the HomeRoutes organization.
For more information on Dunn’s shows, call Anne at 250-374-3234.
