Back by Popular Demand – The Cruzeros Return to the Creekside Theatre!
After selling out their reunion show in record time last November and earning rave reviews, The Cruzeros are returning to Creekside Theatre in Lake Country – and this time, they’re here for two unforgettable nights!
Fans across the Okanagan will once again experience the high-energy, heartfelt sound of one of Canada’s most celebrated independent country bands. Last year’s performance celebrated their induction into the BC Country Music Hall of Fame, and now, the legacy continues with a special encore engagement.
From their humble beginnings in Kelowna to becoming a national sensation, The Cruzeros blazed a trail through Canadian country music with three acclaimed albums, a score of Top 40 radio hits, and several CMT videos. Their music has resonated across the globe, reaching fans in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and lighting up stages at major festivals and concert venues.
With honors that include a JUNO nomination, multiple BC Country Music Association Awards, a Canadian Indie Award, and CCMA All-Star Band Awards, The Cruzeros left an indelible mark in Canadian country music history.
The powerhouse lineup features founding members Barry Mathers (lead vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Curtis Tulman (vocals, guitar, harmonica, sax), along with JUNO nominee Rachel Matkin (vocals, mandolin), Jim Ryan (bass, vocals, keyboards), Jay Swetlishoff (drums), and Scott Thielmann (lead guitar). Together, they deliver a rich blend of storytelling, musicianship, and stage chemistry that captivates audiences of all ages.
Don’t miss your chance to catch this legendary band in their element – live at the Creekside Theatre. Two nights only, and tickets will go fast!
Supporting Act: Dave Barber
