30 mins and a pair of boots: Kelowna musician takes the stage when illness strikes

Kelowna country artist Mitch Zorn performed unexpectedly on May 9 at Prospera Place before 3,000 attendees at the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concert.
Organizers contacted Zorn about an hour prior due to opener Kathleen Edwards's illness, asking if he could join the sound check with only 30 minutes to prepare.
Without a set list or preparation time, Zorn chose to play every song from his unreleased album, reflecting his two decades of experience and musical roots.
Zorn described the experience as both nerve-wracking and deeply rewarding, explaining that performing was the culmination of nearly two decades of effort. He added that after playing "Dancing in the Dark," the audience's reaction was overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
The performance marked a significant milestone in Zorn’s career, demonstrating the value of readiness and prompting his upcoming show at Red Bird on May 18 with audience engagement events.
