Summer Concert: Tiller's Folly

With roots that stretch from the mists of the Pacific Northwest, across the sea to the British Isles, and now moving into the heartland of American music, Tiller’s Folly has tapped into something timelessly fresh and refreshingly sincere. West Coast Celtic Roots band Tiller’s Folly has been telling tales as old as time with a modern lyrical twist, and a penchant for stirring tales of intrigue and adventure, inspired by true life heroes and villains – backed by their potent mix of acoustic Celtic-influenced roots sound. Across nine albums Tiller’s Folly has united communities across the globe with songs steeped in Scottish, Irish and Canadian west coast tradition. Their lively songs of happy wars, highwaymen and moonshiners, sad songs of love turned sour and the lonely immigrant’s sorrow, and whimsical sea shanties that compel audiences to tap their feet, clap their hands and sing along with gusto. Their global fanbase that has fallen in love with timeless hits like ‘Water at the Bar’, ‘Death & Taxes’ and ‘Ghosts of Read Island’, ‘Spanish Banks’ and ‘Steamboatin’ Jamiesons’ to name a few. Indeed, the Tiller’s Folly live experience is where the talented trio truly shine, having performed to thousands over the journey at major festivals throughout the US, Canada and the UK.

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.
