Dean Brody and Dallas Smith to make tour stops in Penticton, Kamloops

The Dean Brody & Dallas Smith “Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone” tour has added 2019 Album of the Year winners The Reklaws to the lineup.

The special guests were announced as tour additions at the Canadian Country Music Awards last night, Sept.8.

The Dean Brody & Dallas Smith "Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone" 2019 tour makes a stop in Kamloops on Oct. 24 at the Sandman Centre and in Penticton on Friday, Oct. 25 at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

The Reklaws have been making a name for themselves in the country music world since the first major single, “Hometown Kids” in 2017.

Their second single, “Long Live the Night” became the most streamed domestic song of all Canadian country artists released in 2018. It was selected as theme song for the national broadcast of the Canadian Football League’s Thursday Night Football games.

The Reklaws have already completed a headlining tour this year, in addition to earning their first Juno nomination for country album of the year.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
