A versatile artist, Olsen’s pop-infused take on country music has garnered him a global fanbase. His recent track, “Outta Yours,” and hits such as “Raised By A Good Time,” showcase his ability to energize and inspire audiences. As the headliner for Tim Hortons Country Night, Steven Lee Olsen promises an unforgettable performance delivering country-pop hits that resonate with fans of all ages.
Joining Olsen on stage is Lydia Sutherland, a Nashville based, Québec-born singer/songwriter who has already emerged as one of the most hotly sought-after songwriters and collaborators in the business. Sutherland has built a diverse songwriting catalog highlighted by “Hold Me Back” with Robyn Ottolini, “Mercy” with Kyle McKearney and many more. Building a backlog of nearly 900 songs, Lydia gained traction and signed a worldwide publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Nashville (UMPG). In 2022 Lydia secured a label deal with Universal Music Canada, kicking off the next chapter releasing fan faves “best friend,” “look like your exes,” “dressing room,” and now “girls at the bar.”
“Her ability to deliver hit songs makes her a perfect fit for Tim Hortons Country Night, promising festival-goers a dynamic and unforgettable opening act,” says Forrest.
The Penticton Peach Festival will run from Aug. 7 to 11. Other entertainment and headliners will be released in the coming weeks.
