Live Music is Back: One-Day Outdoor Music Festival Returns to Caetani Centre

The Caetani Centre’s third annual Summer Music Festival, featuring
headliner Shred Kelly, is back for one day only July 23 at the historic
property near downtown Vernon.

VERNON—After a volatile year of fires, floods, and a global pandemic, the
Caetani Centre is ready to get audiences dancing and celebrating summer
again when it hosts its one-day outdoor music festival on its historic
grounds, Saturday, July 23.

2022 marks the third year the festival has been held since 2019. Although
cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, the festival was able to go on last
August despite the fire evacuation alert that was announced for the City of
Vernon the day before.

“Many people last year remarked on how they appreciated something to take
their minds off the fires. We had a number of evacuees attend the festival
and many danced in celebration, especially when the sky opened through the
smoke and this downpour of rain came down,” said Kristin Froneman, Tours
and Communications Coordinator at the Caetani Centre. “This year, we didn’t
want to tempt fate, so we decided to hold the festival a little earlier in
July. We sure hope the climate will cooperate.”

Attendees will be treated to a day of musical talent, laughter, and some of
the best food trucks in the Okanagan.

This year’s headliner is none other than Shred Kelly, who will be joined by
Songs of the Southern Belles, Cod Gone Wild, Betty Anne Northup, Bran
Sanders, and Blu and Kelly Hopkins.

An alternative folk-rock band from Fernie, B.C., Shred Kelly started out
playing the Canadian ski-town circuit over a decade ago and have since
performed for international audiences and events such as the Reeperbahn
Festival in Hamburg, Germany and Australian Music Week.

“We are really pleased to have Shred Kelly as our headliner this year. They
have had amazing success with their live streaming concerts during Covid
and have a huge following with fans from around BC, Canada and
internationally. They are amazing instrumentalists with a wide range of
influences and will definitely have the crowd up and dancing,” said Caetani
Music Coordinator Andrew Mercer, who will also be performing with his band
Cod Gone Wild at the festival.

Joining Shred Kelly as part of the evening set will be Songs of the
Southern Belles, a Nashville tribute show that celebrates female country
stars from the ‘50s through to the ‘70s.

The afternoon set features local artists, including songwriting-multi
instrumental duo Blu and Kelly Hopkins, folk soloist Bran Sanders and
multi-genre artist Betty Anne Northup. Cod Gone Wild will close off the
afternoon with its sociable and danceable Celtic-Maritime sounds.

“Come hungry, as this year we have lined up popular Okanagan food trucks
Gord Oh’s and Shabbang, who will serve up everything from authentic
Mexican-style tacos to decadent grilled cheese sandwiches and gourmet
poutine,” said Froneman.

There will also be a cash bar available for people 19-plus.
