Description

The Cruzeros were one of the most popular bands to come out of Kelowna. They were founded by Barry Mathers and Curtis Tulman in 1985

Their big break came in 1995 when they received funding through FACTOR to produce an album, which they did with Vancouver producer Bill Buckingham. The album, simply called “The Cruzeros” was released to radio in 1996 to instant and widespread national acceptance, earning them a JUNO nomination for Country Group of the Year.

Along with band members Jim Ryan, Gary Smyth, Rachel Matkin and Jay Terrence, for the next 13 years they were one of Canada's hardest working and most successful independent bands. They released three albums which spawned a total of 20 top forty hits on the national country charts, eight videos on CMT and dozens of award citationsincluding a Canadian Indy for Country Album of the Year, CCMA Special Instrumentalist of the Year, and BCCMA Group, Songwriter and Album of the Year awards. The average year saw them performing over 150 dates across Canada with forays into the United States, Mexicoand Europe.

The Cruzeros will be inducted into the British Columbia Country MusicHall of Fame in October, 2024.

*As of July 1, 2024, we will be adding a $10 minimum food charge at the venue as we are a food-primary establishment*

 

Founded in 2001, we've developed a reputation, among artists and audiences alike, as a premium live entertainment venue across Canada and further afield. 

Our room is a listening room, which is a rare gem to find. There is no greater gift to give performers than to simply listen. They bring with them years of dedication and we get to enjoy and absorb their creativity. As an audience member, the experience is without parallel, providing an incredibly intimate and unique opportunity to see top talent from Canada, and around the world.

A wide range of musical styles can be seen on the Dream stage. Though they differ in genre, they are united in their skills. Expect to see Jazz, blues, indie, R&B, folk, punk, spoken word, reggae, rock, country, comedy, and more.

Chef Matt, who joined the Dream in 2023, offers an ethnic influence on his delectable, fresh and nutritious menu.

A night at the Dream Café includes a warm welcome, great food and an outstanding music experience. Our regulars know that no matter who is gracing the stage that night - the calibre of music and entertainment will be excellent. Thank you for supporting live music, the arts and The Dream Cafê

There's no need to print your tickets, we will greet you at the door with our guest list for the show.
