With a brand new holiday tune released last week, Holly Hyatt is performing at the Osoyoos Elks Hall on Nov. 27.
“Sunny Day in January” is a blues inspired-take on the season and it’ll be on Hyatt’s Osoyoos set list, shared with guitarist Jon Burden.
A vocalist, acoustic and electric bass player and songwriter from B.C.’s beautiful Slocan Valley, Holly began singing, performing and songwriting at an early age.
She got her start at local coffee houses and bars, which morphed into the last 14 years performing in the blues and roots duo, Holly and Jon.

Hyatt has shared the stage with The Brubreck Brothers, jazz pianist Taylor Eigisti, Sonny Rhodes, Russell Jackson, Roy Forbes and Linda McCrea.
She’s also been the opening act for Carlos Del Junco, Leon Russell, The Golden State Lonestar Revue and worked on the promotion team for Merle Haggard’s 2004 Canadian tour.
Hyatt’s song “So Close” was also nominated for Song of the Year at the 2017 Kootenay Music Awards.
