Serena Ryder to headline Sun Peaks’ free summer concert

SUN PEAKS — Canadian singer-songwriter Serena Ryder will perform a free concert at Sun Peaks’ open-air stage this summer.

The six-time Juno award winner will perform live on Saturday, July 27, 2019, a media release says.

Serena Ryder holds several awards including the 2014 Juno Songwriter of the Year and Artist of the Year, while her single, “Stompa” reached four-time platinum in Canada.

She has shared the stage with artists including OneRepublic, Kanye West, Melissa Etheridge and Pitbull, and has even performed on the ocean floor, in CBC’s “Quietest Concert Ever”, during low tide at Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada.

"We are excited to welcome Serena Ryder to Sun Peaks this July," Arlene Schieven, with Tourism Sun Peaks says in the release. "Our open-air venue and mountain backdrop will provide the perfect setting for this not-to-be missed free concert.”

In 2016, an estimated 7,000 attendees pulled up lawn chairs for Sun Peaks’ free summer outdoor concerts.
