Open Mic Night & Karaoke
2026-06-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Firehall Brewery, 6077 Main Street British Columbia Oliver, Oliver, British Columbia
Free admission! Firehall Open Mic & Jam Night is an opportunity for local musicians to perform their art in a public, social setting in the Firehall Brewery brewpub! Open Mic & Jam Nights are an important part of every music scene, to allow new musicians to flourish, and seasoned musicians to hone their trade. Please keep in mind, the “pub” environment may not always provide an attentive audience, but capturing the crowd is all part of the challenge 😉

We recommend performers RSVP so we know you’re coming! Table reservations are no longer available.

FOR MUSICIANS – PLEASE READ

Please arrive around 6:30 and identify yourself to our host, Mike Dallamore, and let him know if you would like accompaniment (Open Mic style vs Jam style). He will find you a slot for you to play up to three songs.

We will have three microphones, and a PA mixer with more than enough inputs for instruments. Small electric amps are permitted, but they must be coordinated with the sound tech. Small percussion instruments are permitted. Bagpipes are stricly prohibited unless you are wearing a kilt… just kidding (though kilts are awesome).

We have no restrictions on genre, though we insist that all performers respect that our space is family-friendly, and we have a strict intolerance for prejudice or abusive material.

FOR PATRONS – PLEASE READ

Please respect the musicians. They have worked hard to get up on the stage 🙂

David Barber at Phantom Creek
2026-05-31 13:00 - 16:00 | Phantom Creek Estates, 4315 Black Sage Road British Columbia Oliver Canada, Oliver, British Columbia, Canada
Dave Barber is a Canadian musician, recording artist (Molly’s Eyes, 2023), songwriter, singer, and live performer. He creates beautiful unhurried melodies and songs rich in tone and playfulness, pulling from classic country, roots, folk, and jazz. Dave met his wife Kirby in Edmonton where they started gigging. It was great training for what came next.

Kirby and I moved to Vancouver in 2011, in search of new opportunities to play with different artists and push ourselves. This is where I met and played with people like Chad Brownlee, Dallas Smith, and had a banjo part on a four-times platinum single by Coleman Hell, 2 Heads.

A big part of our growth as musicians has been to leave one scene and move to another. We did that again, in 2017, when we moved to Nashville.

Nashville is where the big names play and record, so you have all sorts of opportunities to learn and grow at even a higher level of talent and professionalism.

I’m excited to finally be putting together my own work, expressing who I am. At this point, I’m most excited about trying to create my own sound, a sound and a style that puts together the many elements of music that I love.

Me being me is all that I can bring to the musical table. And it’s the most interesting challenge I’ve set myself to date.

Firehall Brewery is hosting a FREE Musician SWAP & JAM on Saturday, May 30th from 2pm -6pm, with a jam session from 4pm-6pm. The South Okanagan has so much musical talent, so why not get us all together to buy, sell, swap, donate and jam!

We know you all have that pack of strings bought for the wrong guitar, the pedal that wasn’t quite your vibe, or instruments you’ve been hoarding and waiting for the right moment to pass along, like the guitar you’ve been holding onto, or that synthesizer you’re over playing and looking for the right trade… well this is the moment you’ve been waiting for!

We would like to open up our outdoor space to all music enthusiasts. Bring anything music related you would like to sell, trade, donate, show off, or jam with. We will have tables set up for everyone to display their items, power for testing will be provided, and just to make it a little sweeter, there will be a table set up for donations. Donations will be given to the SOSS music program to help support the young musicians of Oliver.

This grassroots event is for the community, so we ask to not have businesses partake in this event. If you have your own music-related business, you may bring business cards and promote what you do.

Below are a few things that will not be allowed at the Swap:

Broken items

Concert or event tickets

Clothing

Large items (if you can carry it, you can bring it)

Marketing for events

Donations: Firehall Brewery will only be accepting items for donations, NO cash. Donated items must be in good condition.
