“I have the pleasure to share the stage with eight of the finest musicians anywhere, including two current members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame,” band leader Gary Cable said. “At the end of the day, it’s all about the music; we perform, and help keep alive, some of the greatest music ever recorded. And at this stage of our careers, we have an opportunity to give back to the community.”

For the second year in a row, all proceeds will benefit the Community Foundation North Okanagan.

“We are delighted to be the chosen charity for this concert,” Leanne Hammond, executive director of CFNO, said. “The Gary Cable Foundation raised over $3,500 to support CFNO, which will help the organization in creating positive lasting local impact.”
