Brakeman Jack: The Heritage Singer of the Okanagan

Brakeman Jack

For Okanagan history in story and song climb aboard with Brakeman Jack!

Brakeman Jack

For 24 years Brakeman Jack was the story teller and lead singer for Okanagan heritage entertainers The Kettle Valley Brakemen.

The Brakemen toured from the Coast to the Kootenays (and MANY whistle stops in between) enthralling audiences with historical stories and songs about British Columbia’s colourful steam rail era. Covid ended this highly successful run in 2020.

Since the pandemic Brakeman Jack has gotten back on track, creating an intimate one man show spinning Okanagan Heritage in story and song and concluding with a rousing singalong. History told with humour and set to a toe tappin’ folk/bluegrass beat. It’s a recipe for fun!
