Kelowna Music
19 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -Welcome musicians and music lovers. There are hundreds of amazing musicians floating around the city of Kelowna, so we decided to create a platform to showcase their talents. We get into the nitty-gritty details of making music, the ups and downs of being a "creative", depression & anxiety, inspiration and motivation, struggles, triumphs, hilarious stories, terrible shows, and so much more. It seems that the majority of great artists have one thing in common: they arent afraid of being vulnerable (which makes for great conversation). We are so stoked that you are following this journey. Enjoy. Peace!
