Penticton rock ‘n’ roll band 13 Broken Bones pumped out the hits on Thursday July 23 at Music in the Park, from the Beatles to Queen and Van Halen.

Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life” ended their show with the audience walking away through the park with big smiles. The band lived up the promise of pulling out all the stops on the hits of the 50s to 80s. Band members Bill Gilmour (bass guitar), Kevin Lamb (guitar /vocals), Floyd Armstrong (drums/ lead vocals), Glenn Mageau (keyboards) and Valentine Jones (guitar) got together in 2012. They bonded over their favourite radio hits: the British bands from the Beatles and Elton John to Queen and Dire Straits, classic American rockers like John Mellencamp, CCR, Van Halen, and Billy Joel, and great tunes by Bryan Adams.
