Canadian country artist Jess Moskaluke to headline Peachfest country night

Unlike many other festivals, Penticton Peach Festival isn't planning to go on hiatus and today organizers announced international artist Jess Moskalukewill  perform at the 2020 edition of the festival.

Moskaluke will headline Tim Hortons Country Night on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Her single, “Country Girls” has made her number one on Canadian country radio this year and Moskaluke is releasing her latest single, “Halfway Home,” this Friday.

Moskaluke is the first Canadian female country artist since Shania Twain to achieve CRIA platinum single status with “Cheap Wine and Cigarettes,” and has since earned gold certifications for “Take Me Home,” and "Kiss Me Quiet.”

“We feel so grateful to have such a talented artist with a current number one hit on Canadian country radio coming to Penticton Peach Festival,” Peachfest president Don Kendall says.
“She has a growing fan base with over 32 million views on YouTube, and her popularity is only rising,” he says.

Moskaluke is a three-time consecutive Canadian Country Music Association recipient for female artist of the year. She is a multiple June Award nominee with the 2017 Juno award for country album of the year.

Shawn Austin will also be featured at this year’s Peachfest country night. His debut single, Paradise Found has him one of the top 10 most played Canadian country artists on radio.

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.
