Tribute bands ready to rock Peachfest

PENTICTON – If rock and roll is your music of choice, the lineup of tribute acts scheduled for the 69th annual Penticton Peach Festival should blow you away.

Peachfest is teaming up with the Penticton Speedway to host rock tribute night on Saturday, Aug. 6, at Okanagan Lake Park in Penticton.

Forever Young will perform a tribute to Neil Young with Summerland’s Kevin Foley delivering a vocal performance which sounds uncannily like Neil Young.

Willy and the Poor Boys will be performing the biggest and best hits of the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival, one of rock’s most popular and influential bands.

High Voltage will round out the evening with a tribute to AC/DC, marking the group’s sixth appearance at Peachfest.

There’s no admission charge for Rock Tribute Night.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
