The Real McKenzies, Anti-Queens Concert (Firehall Brewery)
2023-03-06 19:00 - 22:00 UTC | British Columbia
Firehall Brewery and Montreal’s Stomp Records presents… The Real McKenzies! On tour with the Anti-Queens! Sponsored by RESPECT Record & Skate on Main Street!
Real McKenzies is a Celtic punk band founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1992, described as “a guitar-and-bagpipe wailing Celtic punk rock-and-roll”. They have set themselves apart from other punk bands by including bagpipes in all of their studio albums and at most of their concerts, much like the similar bands Dropkick Murphys and Flatfoot 56. Lead singer Paul McKenzie leads a high-energy act which does extensive concert tours, including an eight-month, twenty-three-country tour in a van. On these tours they have shared the stage with Shane MacGowan, Rancid, NOFX, Flogging Molly, The Misfits, and even Metallica. For fans of: The Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, The Pogues.
A staple of the Toronto scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra hard-working, punked up rock n’ roll quartet of super high-powered women who give the male-dominated music industry a run for their money. They’ve become infamous in their hometown of Toronto for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoner live performances. They have toured across Canada, The United States & Europe as direct support for Danko Jones, Streetlight Manifesto, Cancer Bats, The Planet Smashers, Protest The Hero, illScarlett & The Creepshow, to name a few.
Seating will be very limited and first-come-first-serve, so expect to dance!

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.
