Country star Brett Kissel coming to Kelowna and Kamloops this year

The Canadian Country Music Association's male artist of the year has announced the second part of his cross-Canada tour, which features 10 shows in B.C.

Brett Kissel will be in Kamloops on Nov. 13 and Kelowna on Nov. 27.

In a post on the country singer's website states Kissel has already performed more than 50 shows across Canada from January to March of this year, but with a second part to the tour added, every province and territory will have a show.

“My goal for this tour was to play for as many fans as possible. I was so thankful with the response my team got from cities and towns across Canada. Unfortunately, we just didn’t have enough time to fit all the dates into my schedule,” Kissel says in the post. “I told my agent ‘we just have to organize part 2 of this tour for the fall’ so we can hit all the spots we missed in the first quarter of 2018. It seems like we’ve now made this one of, if not the most extensive tours in Canadian music history!”

Last month, Kissel released his new single Guitars and Gasoline to country radio. Up and coming artist Dan Davidson will join Kissel as a special guest for several dates on the tour, including in Kamloops and Kelowna.

The Kamloops show will be held at the Coast Kamloops Theatre and the Kelowna show will be held at the Kelowna Community Theatre.
