Local Dudes in Concert (Firehall Brewery)
2023-02-04 19:00 - 21:00
Firehall Brewery is excited to host three talented musicians from our community: Kevin Kuhn, Josh Ravell, and Sean Petersen.

Kevin Kuhn is an Ontario-raised, multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter, with new roots in the Okanagan. He’s a sucker for melodies, and always on the hunt for that catchy tune to breathe life into. Upbeat, fun, funky riffs, with old pop, rockin’ vocals. Kevin’s collection of acoustic songs carry a positive, thoughtful vibe, while occasionally dipping a toe into darker tones. His influences include artists like Jack Johnson, Bradley Nowell, and Stevie Wonder. He’s also an audio engineering graduate with an Electro/hip-hop instrumental side project on all music streaming platforms under Kuhn’s Tunes.

While Josh Ravell is often found sat at the bar right here at the Firehall Brewery, for this special night he’ll be swapping his barstool for the stage and his Kick Axe Lager for a microphone… at least for the duration of his set. Hailing all the way from England, Josh’s acoustic style falls somewhere between indie and country. Whether it be softly plucked melodies or loudly strummed anthems, he’s sure to keep you entertained.

Sean Petersen plays songs. If you like songs, you’ll like Sean.

Entry by donation. Table reservations and standing room available. Please choose a table that matches your group size. Registration will close when tables and standing room are all booked. Book a table on their website.
