Kirby Green ( Barber) won Best Bass Player in British Columbia in the 2014 BCCMA ( British Columbia Country Music Association) Awards on the weekend.
Daughter of George and Tovie Green, Kirby was born and raised in Salmon Arm and has dedicated her life to teaching music and performing.
“Kirby as a little girl was quite shy, and then about Grade 12, it was ‘look out world here I come,’” says Tovie.
Kirby has performed across North America and China.
In the process, she has “rubbed shoulders” with stars like Wynonna Judd and Tim McGraw and is in high demand in the music circuit, Tovie says.
“The one beautiful thing is Kirby remains humble and enjoys her choice of career, which she works very hard at,” Tovie says. “Salmon Arm is small but mighty, and our children are given an amazing start to life here.”
