Summer Kicks - Locals Day

Every summer, the world comes to play in Golden, and so does the community at Summer Kicks.

Presented by Kicking Horse Culture, Summer Kicks is a FREE outdoor concert series featuring touring artists from across Canada alongside amazing local performers. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy live music, dancing, and community under the mountain sky.

We're celebrating Local's Day with a line up of all local musicians! The fresh, high-energy 6 piece band Jumping rodents will bring the funk and we'll have a line up of youth Tweeners: Maya Balon, Jake Pawley, and Finni Jobin!

The Jumping Rodents 

A fresh, original, high-energy 6 piece funk band born in a shop in the woods in Parson B.C. With guitar, bass, trumpet, saxophone, keyboards and 13 year old prodigy drummer driving the bus.

Youth Tweener Line Up!

Maya Balon
Maya is a third generation Golden girl who spends her days playing and learning in nature. When she isn’t covered in mud or climbing mountains, you can find her dancing on stages across Alberta and BC, swimming competitively, snuggled in a cozy corner reading books, or practicing new country or alt-folk songs on her guitar.

Jake Pawley
Jake is a 16 year old who started out doing karaoke and picked up a guitar and started making music. He’s born and raised local, and following his dreams!

Finni Jobin
Finni is a singer and guitar player who is heavily influenced by everyone’s favorite music genre: Musical theatre! Reviews say “Its pretty good I guess.”
