Submissions came in from across the Okanagan for the second installation of the emerging artist compilation and K96.3 and Music BC would like to thank all those who applied and urges those who didn’t make it to this year’s compilation to reapply next year.
The K Comp Emerging Artist Series started off in 2010 as a way for K96.3 – Kelowna’s Classic Rock to promote and lend a helping hand to local emerging artists. “In the first year of the K Comp, our main goal was to create new opportunities for our local emerging artists and to help them build relationships within the industry. How great would it be if we could discover some of the next classics in our own backyard? We are very proud of last year’s accomplishments and we are very excited to be able to provide the same opportunities for this year’s twelve K Comp artists.” quoted Dallas Gray – Station Manager.
Not only will the twelve K Comp Vol. 2 artists appear on the compilation and receive on-air recognition, but new to this year they will have the opportunity to showcase at the Pop Okanagan Festival – a legacy event to replace BreakOut West that took place in Kelowna last October. The festival, taking place October13 – 15, will give emerging artists the chance to gain recognition through showcasing to a varied festival audience as well as having the opportunity to open for some big name Canadian artists. K Comp artists will also take part in a career development workshop presented by Music BC.
Be sure to stay tuned to K96.3 – Kelowna’s Classic Rock for the official release date of the K Comp Vol. 2.
