Sun Peaks, BC (June 28, 2018) – Music in the Mountains is coming to Sun Peaks, August 25-26, 2018. Spanning two days, the weekend of free outdoor concerts will feature award-winning Canadian headliners, Dan Mangan and Bedouin Soundclash.
Two-time JUNO award winner and two-time Polaris Music Prize listed musician and songwriter, Dan Mangan, returns to Sun Peaks on Saturday evening at 6:00pm to kick-off the weekend with his harmonious indie-rock melodies. The Vancouver-based artist celebrates four studio LPs including “Nice, Nice, Very Nice” (2009) and “Oh Fortune” (2011), which debuted at number nine on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.
Bedouin Soundclash will round out the JUNO award winning lineup when they hit the stage on Sunday afternoon at 1:00pm.
