Photo: Contributed The first ever Boots N Boats music festival is coming to Lake Country this month, promising some great rock and country tunes being played by local artists as well as some well known musicians from around the United States. Local to Lake Country but currently living full time in Nashville, Chris Buck, decided to bring the music festival to the Okanagan after some deep conversations with some musically talented professionals back in Nashville. When his friends in the music industry were shown some pictures of Lake Country, they couldn't believe how beautiful it was and insisted on joining him his next time north of the border.
"Basically, coming back this year I was showing a lot of my friends pictures of the Okanagan and they said they’d love to play there," explained Buck, the organizer of the event and the lead for the Chris Buck Band. "Next thing I know I was talking to my friends down at the Turtle Bay Marina in Lake Country and this just kind of organically fell into my lap, so I started inviting local artists, as well as some bigger songwriters from the US. Now we're launching a three-day writers festival right down at Turtle bay.
” The music festival will rock Lake Country from June 21-23 and the music will be played on a floating barge in front of the Turtle Bay Marina and Pub, where approximately 300 people will be able to take in the groovy tunes. Mixed between local talent and some bigger known names, the first annual Boots N Boats music festi.
