From Gorge Harbour Marina Resort: As you probably know, we host live music 5 nights a week from the Canada Day long weekend through Labour Day. Last summer alone, we presented 49 live shows over two months. We book a wide range of genres, with a focus on high-quality, energetic live performances (excluding metal and hard rock), and we’re becoming well known for our commitment to great live music.
We’re now accepting submissions for Summer 2026 from local Cortes Island musicians. We love featuring new talent alongside returning favourites, and we’re especially excited to hear from family-friendly acts that thrive in a live setting.
What we offer:
2-hour paid performance on an outdoor patio overlooking the marina
House PA and a sound engineer
A fun, welcoming crowd of locals and resort guests
How to submit:
Please email us at events@gorgeharbour.com
Include:
– A short band/artist bio
– Two songs (streaming links are great)
– Your general availability during the summer
Send submissions to: events@gorgeharbour.com
I’ll start reaching out to artists in late February or early March as I begin building the summer schedule.
I can’t wait to hear what you’ve got — and please feel free to share this with local musicians who might be a good fit!
Looking forward to a great season ahead.
-Shannon and the Music team
