6/6/25 FIRST FRIDAY 7-10PM ... VIRGIL BROWN - This Canadian raised acoustic blues guitar singer-songwriter, who hails from Sedona, AZ, is about as good as it gets! Seriously! He is a friend of Palmer's who played solo at Kana about 2 years ago and blew us away! He does Robert Johnson old roots blues and has that guitar style totally dialed in. Think Eric Clapton unplugged, Son House, Peter Green, ...

6/7/25 Saturday 7-10PM ... 2nd St Band - This duo on acoustic guitars plays Kana a few times/year since Kana opened over 20 years ago, and they are just getting better and better! Audience friendly acoustic rock is their style and their lead singer, Daren, arguably has the best local male-voice in town. They cover a diverse music set including a great string of Seattle Grunge song covers. Think Tom Petty, Brian Adams, Nirvana, ...

6/13/25 FRIDAY 5-10PM (often starts as early as 5PM) - OPEN MIC NIGHT ... Local and sometimes visiting musicians take turns on the stage at Kana playing great guitar based music as you unwind with a glass of wine after a long week at work. Are you a budding musician? Then please bring your instrument/voice, plug-in and play a few for us!

6/14/25 SATURDAY 7-10PM - THE PARKER PROJECT ... This is the scaled down version of Christa & the Pony Boys that fits Kana's small, intimate and close-up-and-personal stage! They are the best country band in Central WA and Christa arguably has the best singing voice in all of EASTERN WA! They can draw a crowd because of that so come early for a good seat! Think Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Laing Wilson, ...

6/21/25 SATURDAY 7-10PM - GENEVIEVE DUO ... This local band is so full of talent and they put on a stage show that is guaranteed to get many onto our small Kana dance floor! Headed up by Gib Van der Heyden on guitar and vocals, who is a former Nashville musician who discovered and moved to our fair city about 10 years ago, and Kana's open-mic was his first stop! We hired him on the spot and this is still his favorite venue! New country, classic rock and lots of red, white and blue mixed in! Think Garth Brooks, Steve Earle, Springsteen, ...
