With over thirty years of experience as professional musicians, we have been booking and playing events in the Okanagan area ever since we settled down here in 1988.

We founded Full House Presents to bring out love of live music to the Okanagan community. Through this we have organized and played in musical groups for over five hundred special events throughout the region. (See our Events page for some of the events we have played.)

With our decades of experience, knowledge of local venues, and thorough understanding of acoustic requirements and event ambiance, we ensure you have the best sound every time!

Among others, we have played with:
  • Munich Philharmonic
  • Orquestra Sinfonica da Paraiba
  • Colorado Philharmonic and Aspen Music Festival
  • Oregon Symphony Orchestra
  • Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
  • New Orleans Philharmonic
  • Miami Philharmonic
  • Omaha Symphony and Lincoln Symphony
  • Spokane Symphony
  • Okanagan and Kamloops Symphonies
  • Numerous jazz and contemporary ensembles
