Musician Dan Oig is gearing up for his first-ever cross-Canada tour this summer, beginning in June.

To warm up for the tour, Oig, originally from Kamloops but now based in Kelowna, brings his energetic and highly interactive show to Vernon Friday night.

Oig will appear at the Talkin Donkey on 32nd Street beginning at 8 p.m.

“I’m super excited about the tour,” said Oig. “I live for music. It’s what gets everybody through the toughest times, and the happiest times. How much better is a drive in the summer time with your windows down when you’ve got your favorite tune to sing along to?”

Fans can expect more interaction at Oig’s gig compared to an average acoustic show.

“I like it to be an experience. It’s all about having a good time while listening to some great music,” said Oig. “I do a lot of cover songs and a lot of original songs.”

Tickets for Oig’s performance are $10 and 50 per cent of the proceeds from Friday’s show will go towards stopping human trafficking. For more information about Oig, or to hear some of his music, visit his website, www.danoigmusic.com.
