Coldstream Coffee House

Hi folks and friends!
It'll be a few more months before the Coldstream Coffee House is back up and running, but our friends over at the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society are hosting an interesting concert coming up next month.
Young Scottish musician Calum McIlroy will bring his extensive talents to Vernon's 29th Street Centre, 4506 29th St, on Wednesday July 8th. Tickets are $25, available at The Bean Scene, Wentworth Music, and the 29th Street Centre office.
McIlroy is originally from Aberdeenshire, and currently lives in Glasgow. He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
He released his debut EP “This Ill Deeds” in 2020.
In 2021 he was a nominee for Scots Trad Music Awards Scotland Singer of the Year, and in 2024 he was awarded the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year.
Also in 2024, Calum was honoured to play for King Charles at the Scottish Parliament for their 25th Anniversary Celebration.
This will be a good one!

Hi everybody!
The Coldstream Coffee House is very happy to present the feature for the Saturday, April 18th event.

🎶 Inge and the Swing Miners 🎶
Formed in 2019, Inge and the Swing Miners bring vintage vibes and charm to every stage they play. Inspired by the golden era of jazz—think smoky clubs, toe-tapping rhythms, and timeless melodies—the band draws on the sounds of gypsy swing, jazz standards, and blues.

They’re thrilled to return as the feature act at Coldstream Coffee House on April 18th, the very place where it all began.
Fronted by the captivating vocals of Inge (with the occasional cheeky kazoo appearance), the band is rounded out by Aidan on guitar and Danny, a multi-instrumentalist weaving together guitar, clarinet, and bass to create rich, original arrangements.
Expect warm melodies, lively rhythms, and a dash of old-school charm—perfect for an evening of great music and good company.
✨ Come along and let Inge and the Swing Miners take you back in time! ✨

This will be the last Spring event for The Coldstream Coffee House taking place Saturday, April 18th, Doors open at 6:30, show starts at at 7PM. There will be a sign up sheet at the entrance desk for those who want to play for the open mic session. Admission $5. Refreshments and baked goodies will be served by donation.

Hi everyone!
The Coldstream Coffee House is very happy to present the feature for the Saturday, March 21st event.

“The Daves Of Our Lives”is an engaging local duo that have played together in bars, restaurants, private events and stages large and small since 2014. Dave Thackray (lead vocal & guitar) and Dave Moore (vocals, guitar and bass) play songs that you all know and love, but with their own stamp. It is highly likely that you will smile and sing along!

Dave Thackray: “We get asked how we choose the songs. Well, they have to move and resonate with us first, otherwise they will not connect authentically with anyone else. Usually (but not always), we are taking our audience back to the favourites in their vinyl collection, and the music that was so important to them then, and is still now”.

Dave Moore: “But these songs are loved by the younger guys too. We ask them how they can possibly know these classics from years ago?
One reply was - well we were ‘trapped’ in the baby seat in the car while my parents played them, so this music was absorbed by osmosis!”

The Dave’s are huge fans of The Coldstream Coffee House.
“It is a unique, eclectic and encouraging space, all the musicians we know just love paying there.
It builds community and connection in these isolating days of social media, etc. AI cannot begin to reproduce the love and connection in that room! It’s the real deal and should be valued as such. We are stoked to be invited to play”.

The Coldstream Coffee house will take place Saturday, March 21st, Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7PM.
There will be a sign up sheet at the entrance desk for those who want to play for the open mic session. Admission $5.
Refreshments and baked goodies will be served by donation.

Hi everybody!
We are very excited to have the Keith Hustler and Hugh Spinney duo in as the feature act for our February 21st Coldstream Coffee House event.
Here is some bio info for you:

Born in Armstrong, Keith Hustler returned to the Okanagan Valley at the ‘turn of the last century’ and began immersing himself in the vibrant local music scene. Hustler explores the common roots and connections of folk, country, blues, and rock music through a mix of acoustic covers, featuring the works of Big Bill Broonzy, Ray Charles, and Keb Mo, as well as John Prine, Fred Eaglesmith, and Jonathan Byrd.

Hugh Spinney is a Vernon based singer-songwriter originally hailing from a small northern town in BC. Raised in this close-knit community, Hugh's passion for music was ignited at a young age. He began writing songs at the age of 14, inspired by music he heard at school dances, on radio and at home. This included music by the rock bands of the 60s, country and jazz. Soon he was playing in a band and playing music at those school dances. Over the years Hugh has performed solo, played in classic rock bands and fronted a blues band. Hugh continues to hone his guitar playing skills and songwriting craft.
