(Please refer to payment information below, to get location via Email.) While she may be making her first trip to Alberta, she's been entertaining Albertan's and other Canadian fans for years in Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias, Mexican towns popular with Canadian ex-pats, snowbirds and tourists. The native of Washington State burst onto the scene in 2013 with the release of her Mexico-themed debut CD "Edge of the Ocean" and rose to the top of the trop rock genre with her critically acclaimed "Dream in Blue" album and the continent-wide tour that followed its release. The four Trop Rock Music Awards nominations she received last year were the most of any artist last year, and the most ever earned by a female artist. She took home trophies in three of the four categories in which she was nominated, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year for her sassy beach drinking song "Tequila Talking" and the Horizon Award, recognizing her as the genre's rising star. She'll be accompanied by singer-guitarist and co-writer Rob Hill. Additonally: Check out Phlockers Magazine, March 2016 issue: Page 15 shows Brittany Kingery's appearance date in Calgary.
