2019 Winnipeg Social in Kelowna

Last year we raised almost $7,000.00 for Prostate Cancer Programs in Kelowna that helped support a 20/20 Support Group Conference, Reef Knot Kits for newly diagnosed patients, print resources and the expansion of Kelowna’s Prostate Cancer’s Supportive Care Program.

Way to go!

Let’s top that! Plans are now in full swing for the 5th Annual Winnipeg Social in Kelowna. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever! For starters we’ve booked a larger venue (Parkinson Recreation Centre just off Harvey) with better sight lines to the stage, better bar service, more room to mingle and plenty of parking for everyone.

Julie Masi was back in the studio last February 2019 to re-record Parachute Club’s iconic anthem “Rise Up” for charity.

Warner Music Canada partnered with Parachute Club member Lorraine Segato and Slaight Music in celebrating the 35th anniversary of “Rise Up” by releasing a newly recorded contemporary pop version of the song. The release of “Rise Up” is meant to empower a new generation of youth activists to take a stand and make a difference in the world. All proceeds from this single will be directed towards the RiseUp Share Your Power Initiative.

Juno award-winning singer, songwriter and percussionist.

Many know Julie as the percussionist and vocalist from the gold and platinum award-winning band The Parachute Club. She was a co-writer of several of the band’s songs and toured extensively throughout Canada, Europe, Jamaica and the USA performing for live audiences.

Today she is a sought after talent. After leaving the Parachute Club she worked with popular artists such as Bruce Cockburn, Dan Hill, Alannah Myles, Annie Lennox, Sarah MacLachlan and David Foster. Her soulful & sultry voice can be heard on many recordings for artists such as Dan Hill, Bruce Cockburn, Shirley Eikhard, Alannah Miles, Leonard Cohen and Ken Whiteley.

Now living in Kelowna Julie performs and records regularly with the many talented musicians here and across Canada. Popular duo Le Mo Nay—Julie Masi & Steve Soucy—are professional entertainers performing many concerts throughout the year at local wineries, special events and galas.
