Live Entertainment

We are pleased to announce that Brodie Dawson & Friends will be joining us LIVE at the Conuma Grill on both Saturday and Sunday night! (June 25th & 26th, 2022). The shows will kick off each night at 7:15pm on the Conuma Grill patio, right outside of the main lodge.

 

Named ‘Vocalist of the Year’ at the Vancouver Island Music Awards and nominated for ‘Best Live Act’ for 2 years consecutively, Brodie Lee Dawson is a force to be reckoned with. Brodie calls her style a mix of ‘soulful bluesy folk’ with a gospel funk, a twist of pop and a twang of old-school country. True to all those genres she sings of life, love, searching and finding your way.  And finding her way, she has…  She’s been turning heads and creating a buzz wherever she goes, leaving her audiences spellbound, full-hearted and smilin’.
