Summer Concert: The Paperboys

For over 30 years, The Paperboys have been breaking genre barriers and bringing audiences to their feet with a high-energy blend of Celtic reels, Mexican folk, bluegrass, pop, and soul. Often described as the “Los Lobos of Canada,” their live shows are legendary—no setlist, just a spontaneous musical journey guided by the moment and the crowd. Led by Tom Landa, alongside fiddler/vocalist Kalissa Landa and Spirit of the West alum Geoffrey Kelly, the band has performed over 4,000 shows worldwide and released ten albums, including the Juno Award-winning Molinos. From packed halls to their fan-favourite “Slipper Sessions” online, The Paperboys continue to build a passionate community around their infectious sound—one that’s multicultural, multi-generational, and full of joy, hope, and rhythm you can’t resist dancing to.

Escape to one of the most charming concert venues in the South Okanagan and Similkameen. Nestled under ancient horse chestnut trees in our heritage gardens, the rustic Summer Kitchen stage features a lineup that transcends genres: these artists have won Juno Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards and even a Grammy and have have an oversized impact on the Canadian music scene. As the sun sets behind rugged mountains of the Similkameen, the magic unfolds. Attendees spread blankets and lawn chairs, immersed in the soft glow of twinkling lights and paper lanterns. Our concerts celebrate a range of acoustic genres–folk, roots, Celtic, Bluegrass and even acoustic blues. Talented artists weave together traditional melodies (with roots as deep as our venue) and thoughtful original compositions. Let the music carry you away–where history whispers and melodies linger.

A massive thank you to the Media Sponsors of our 2025 Concert Series: GO 97.1 and Summit Radio.
