Former Penticton resident Kym Gouchie is joining the likes of Dan Mangan during a virtual concert put on by the Province of BC Thursday afternoon.

The Indigenous folk musician, who now lives in Lheidli T’enneh, her home community outside Prince George, was stunned when she got the call to perform.

“I feel super blessed. I’m still wrapping my head around it. They could have chosen anybody and they chose me and they chose three other artists so it’s just phenomenal,” said Gouchie from a home in Summerland where she’s staying during the pandemic. 

Gouchie will be joining three other B.C. musicians during the Showcase BC Live concert on Thursday, performing a ten minute set livestreamed over Facebook to the whole province. She said although she thinks it’s a great way to get music into the lives of those stuck at home, she’s not sold on the form of delivery just yet.
