Wild Blue Herons are coming to Kelowna! They will be performing at the Skyhouse Sessions. This intimate house concert set with a beautiful view of Okanagan Lake.

Wild Blue Herons (WBH) are the magnetic husband-and-wife duo of Bill Sample (piano/keys) and Darlene Cooper (vocals). They embrace a broad sound from groove oriented jazz with a pop/gospel twist, to intimate ballads by the great ladies of jazz.

Bill’s emotional, playful and meticulous accompaniment added to Darlene’s “rich stunning vocals, where every note is delivered flawlessly” (Tom Haugen, Take Effect ) create a warm and mesmerizing synergy. Sharing a particular passion for song stylist, Nancy Wilson, they tug on your heart strings through their beautiful spin and storytelling.

“Pure emotion… a full on listening experience that sizzles deceptively” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record)

This husband and wife team have a deep history in music:  Bill has been an in-demand sideman for over 40 years, working as musical director and keyboard player for the legendary David Foster, while Darlene has built a reputation not just as an engaging jazz/soul/gospel singer, but an educator, choral conductor and session musician too. 

Bill and Darlene will be joined by renowned musicians, Rene Worst (bass) and Buff Allen (drums)
