Friday Night Live with Jess Moskaluke & Melissa Livingstone

This is one event you are not going to want to miss! Check out these Jess and Melissa at the OK Corral Cabaret this August Long Weekend!

Jess Moskaluke

An internationally celebrated artist, Jess Moskaluke continues to break barriers in the country music world with her big voice, pop-infused hooks, and sonic versatility. The first Canadian female country artist since Shania Twain to achieve CRIA Platinum single status with the hit ‘Cheap Wine and Cigarettes’, Moskaluke has since gone on to earn CRIA Gold certifications for ‘Take Me Home’, ‘Kiss Me Quiet’ and a nod for her feature on Paul Brandt’s ‘I’m An Open Road’. She was also notably the first Canadian female country artist since 2008 to have a song in the Top 3 with ‘Drive Me Away’ and has notched another SIX Top 10 hits in addition to that including her first ever NUMBER ONE ’Country Girls’.

The 2017 JUNO Award winner for ‘Country Album of the Year’, Moskaluke is also the 2018 CCMA Award winner for ‘Album of the Year’, a three-time consecutive CCMA ‘Female Artist of the Year’ Award winner – the first resident of Saskatchewan in the history of the awards to achieve this title – a 2017 SOCAN Award winner and the 2020 WCM Award winner for ‘Country Artist of the Year’. Kicking off 2020 with ‘Country Girls’ topping the charts, Moskaluke’s follow-up track ‘Halfway Home’ landed in the Top 5 at Australian country radio, where in 2019, she played the C2C Music Festival and took part in CMC’s ‘Songs and Stories’ series, performing six songs for a one-hour special. She delivered her Top 15 single ‘Mapdot’, a personal ode to small-town pride and the place she’s proud to call home, ahead of the release of The Demos in February of 2021, along with her Top 20 track ‘Nothin’ I Don’t Love About You’.

In 2022 Moskaluke shared the southern twang infused single ‘Knock Off’ before embarking on her first national headlining Mapdot Tour which saw sold out shows across the country. Continuously revamping her dynamic country sound and evolving with her songwriting she kicks off 2023 with her latest single ‘Not What Ya Think’. In addition to her music, Moskaluke continues to explore other avenues including her highly anticipated ‘Handpicked by Jess’ subscription box drops, with previous versions selling out in less than 24 hours.

Melissa Livingstone

Hailing from the quaint little fishing village of Ucluelet, nestled off the coastline of Vancouver Island, BC, Melissa Livingstone is the epitome of what small-town country living truly exemplifies. With a population sign around 1500, there wasn’t much to do growing up except ride dirt bikes, spend time on the water, and dream big. After moving to Kelowna, BC, at 17, Melissa entrenched herself in the local music scene and instantly made an impact. After years of playing the local music scene, garnering her peers’ respect and hearing the music community’s praise, she decided to listen to her heart and follow her dreams to the epicentre of country music, moving to Nashville, Tennessee, early this year.

You would often hear Randy Travis, The Eagles, and Amy Grant on the radio dial in her family home growing up. But, once falling in love with country music as a teenager, Melissa would combine her early childhood influences with the honkytonk sounds of the early 90s and 2000s country to craft a sound that is uniquely her own. Blending the traditional elements of the artists she grew up admiring with a touch of modern-day flare. As a result, Melissa has developed a brand that can span generations and captivate music fans of all ages.

After the release of her 2021 single titled Gypsy Heart, Melissa was named BCCMA’s (British Columbia Country Music Association) artist of the month. She added that to a long list of accolades that include Denim on the Diamond Talent Search Winner, BCCMA Rising Star, and Female Vocalist of the Year Nominee. Her latest single, “Country Enough,” has surpassed 230,000 global streams and well over 750,000 views on TikTok.

Melissa spent this summer constructing her own Canadian tour that saw her electrify the stages of Dauphin Country Fest in Dauphin, MB. The Coca-Cola Stage at the prestigious Calgary Stampede, AB, as well as Sunfest Country Music Festival on Vancouver Island, BC. Melissa capped off her tour by headlining the OK Corral Cabaret in her hometown of Kelowna, BC. She recently had her debut performance at Nashville Tenessee’s illustrious Listening Room on September 17th, 2022.

Known not only as a cultivated entertainer, but also a skilled songwriter, Melissa has spent the past year honing her craft and creating new songs that she is excited to show the world. After spending the last few months in the studio, working tirelessly on her upcoming single, Melissa will be releasing her new music in Janurary 2023. Until then, you can follow and find Melissa on all major streaming and social media platforms.
