Concert: Volunteers & Jared Jackel’s Bad Vibrations (Firehall Brewery)

Firehall Brewery and Respect Record & Skate are proud to present… Volunteers & Jared Jackel’s Bad Vibrations! An evening of Okanagan original psychedelic alt country.
VOLUNTEERS (North Okanagan) – Volunteers are a 3-piece (sometimes up to 6-piece) garage country group from the North Okanagan, playing the original songs of Okanagan raised Liam McIvor (current steel player for Petunia & The Vipers). They take influence from John Prine, Gene Clark, The Flying Burrito Brothers and other psych country acts from the 60s and 70s. Blending them with traditional folk & country songwriting conventions under dense lyricism about love, mortality, compost & garbage.

JARED JACKELS BAD VIBRATIONS (South Okanagan) – Jared Jackel is a Penticton based multi-instrumentalist and producer presiding somewhere inside the otherworldly realm of gothic cowboy psychedelia. Jackel, releasing two hazily ambitious albums under the title of Jared Jackel’s Bad Vibrations, is belligerently experimental-combining a meticulously refined command of bizarro country tonality, with an aggressively original lyricism. Jared Jackel’s Bad Vibrations’ spirited live sets consist of avant-garage, one-man-band style songs backed by foot-triggered bass drones, twangy post-western guitar playing, and retro-jazz drum-machines.

Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Seating will be limited and first-come-first-serve. Sponsored by Respect Record & Skate Shop on Main Street in Oliver!
